My Damages: Photo & Video Documentation

This page contains direct evidence of the damage I personally endured as a result of years of HOA neglect, construction failures, and retaliation.

These photos and videos show exactly what happened inside my unit and why I had to take emergency action when the Board refused to.

This page is not just about damage β€” it’s about disclosure.

What you see here represents more than structural negligence. It’s evidence of how long-standing HOA mismanagement, scope deviations, and unauthorized construction decisions have placed homeowners β€” including myself β€” in financial and physical jeopardy.

Although most of the restorations have now been completed, the memories β€” and the lessons β€” remain.

I share this not for sympathy, but for accountability. After nearly two decades of misconduct and regulatory failure, this documentation serves as a warning, a record, and a call to reform.

If you’ve ever asked, β€œHow do communities lose control of their future?” β€” this is how. And this is where it stops.

Context:
This letter was sent to me during an active water intrusion event in my home. Instead of supporting or reimbursing emergency repairs, the HOA β€” through Attorney Rhonda Hollander β€” took steps to intimidate and interfere with licensed contractors I hired to protect my property.

This letter is now part of the public record documenting how whistleblowers and emergency responders have been treated in this community.

Note: This letter was issued to me by Attorney Rhonda Hollander in her role representing the Omega Villas Condominium Association. It is included here as part of the public record documenting interference with emergency repairs during a time of active water intrusion into my home.

  • Footage of emergency repair crews being blocked or interrupted by Board-aligned interference
  • Real-time reactions documenting delays, obstruction, and urgent repair conditions

πŸ› οΈ Why This Matters

These are not isolated incidents. These were deliberate failures to act by the Omega Villas Board and its aligned legal and vendor teams. While other residents stayed silent, I took the hits, bore the cost, and now present the proof.

This page is not just about property damage. It’s about how a community can be punished for asking for accountability β€” and what happens when no one in power responds.
