🚨 Overview

This latest watchdog update documents how Omega Villas’ systemic construction and financial failures have now reached critical mass — with:

✅ $1.1M+ in fines already accrued, disproportionately placed on Phase 2 owners (projected to exceed $2.3M by 2027).

✅ Longstanding Board leadership (Patty, Blaire since 2006; Akers through 2016) at the core of governance decisions that created this exposure.

✅ June 25 letter from HOA counsel Rhonda Hollander, attempting to justify unauthorized furring strips, plywood expansions, and the lack of owner votes — framing it as inherent to the original NOA to shield the Board and vendors.

✅ DBPR confirmation on June 30 that there is no record of a formal cancellation notice for the March 2025 election, undermining this Board’s legal standing.

✅ No documented FS 718 foreclosure votes, despite continued lien and foreclosure threats.


🎥 Video Evidence – June 26 Construction Meeting

Clips from the latest Board construction meeting show:

  • Board & contractors reviewing photos of the unauthorized furring strips, directly tying them to forced window replacements.
  • Engineers pushing for costly new windows, A/C adjustments, and confirming every electrical, plumbing, cable, and meter line must be rerouted — all while I cited the active Chase Bank oversight case (CIBCS1428745).
  • Disputes over unfinished patio ceilings, unauthorized backyard access, and the CAM openly discussing the Chase letter.
  • Patty leveraging the Plantation Police Department to silence dissent, turning financial mismanagement into a local intimidation issue.

📹 All videos are now archived at www.hoajusticenow.com for independent bank, regulator, and media review.


🏦 Institutional Oversight Now Fully Engaged

  • Chase: Active case under CIBCS1428745
  • LoanDepot: Confirmed review
  • Banco Popular: Offered opportunity to step in as a pilot recovery partner to lead engineering corrections, owner protections, and independent financial controls.

📌 Owners Strongly Advised

Given these facts, owners are strongly urged not to pay for additional windows, doors, or drywall repairs until bank, insurance, and federal reviews are complete.
