🚨 Summary
Between June 18 and June 20, 2025, Omega Villas residents were subjected to a coordinated vendor sales campaign orchestrated by Austro Construction (Dorin) and S&D Engineering (Larry). The campaign targeted homeowners directly — door-to-door and via written postings — pressuring them to commit to window replacements and interior repairs without:
- Clear pricing
- Legal disclosures
- Engineer-certified inspections
- Board-approved procurement protocols
🛑 This vendor pressure was launched just days before the June 26 Construction Meeting, where “lower window assessments” and “drywall repairs” are scheduled for Board decision — making the timing both strategic and coercive.
💥 What’s New in WD Email #6?
- 🔍 Video Surveillance Proof: Ring camera footage confirms vendor activity.
- 📬 Physical Door Postings: Unofficial Austro communications distributed on homes.
- 📑 Construction Agenda Confirmation: The push campaign is tied to items slated for upcoming approval.
- ⚠️ Legal & Financial Warning to Institutions: Banks were reminded that failure to intervene may expose them to liability tied to construction defects, forced owner costs, and HOA misuse of authority.
💰 Phase 2 Burden Remains Unresolved
While vendors escalate financial pressure, Phase 2 continues to shoulder over $740,000 in fines, despite city and DBPR records showing similar violations occurred across Phases 1–4. Exhibit V confirms the inequitable enforcement history.
🤝 A Formal Offer to Banco Popular
In a shift from previous watchdog communications, WD #6 formally invites Banco Popular to act as a pilot recovery partner for:
- Independent engineering oversight
- Owner protection protocols
- Lending discipline safeguards
- Transparency before any new construction costs are imposed
🧭 If Banco steps forward, this could become a model for reversing HOA project abuse statewide.
