Help‼️ This is still an on-going case but at this point, I am lost
I manage an apartment at the Gramercy of the Park in San Mateo since around 2012. Suddenly, the building charged nearly $6000 of repair work on the unit’s HOA account. Neither the home owner nor I was informed and we never signed a contract or approved work. The reason cited was an approved leak which damaged the unit below. I asked for paperwork, before and after work photos, and many other specific questions, but the on-site manager Gabriela provided none despite multiple emails. She said her job was not billing, so it was not she who put the charges on the unit’s account. I asked for a name and tel number to contact the right person because on their invoice, there was only a PO Box number, no name, no tel number. Gabriela didn’t answer my request. So, I asked for the name of the owner of the neighbour, but she refused. I give her the benefit of the doubt that it may be a privacy issue. She deflected me to contact Tim O’Riordan of O’Riordan Construction, whom she used but I have never met and never communicated in the past. I wrote Tim an email with a list of questions, and it’s been a day and no response. Most importantly, I do not have a contract with my name or the unit owner’s name but they not only started work but finished. Any lawyer reading this, is this even legal? No written and no verbal contract but finished work ‼️ Tim O’Riordan is a licensed contractor and I would think he should know that this is unlawful to charge for work without any form of approvals and just found an account to charge it to. And the most peculiar of all is why was it charged on the unit’s HOA account? If it’s work between Gramercy and O’Riordan, then it’s their business. If it was indeed between the unit and O’Riordan, then why not send me, the manager, an invoice directly. How is it even logical to involve an HOA account with a balance in the Gramercy’s custodian? I try to reach out to the HOA president but I cannot find the name and contact for the HOA president online, and Gabriela once again didn’t answer my request. Basically, the building is stonewalling me and charged mindlessly on the unit’s HOA account. 😡😡😡😡 I have this image of me alone, holding onto an invoice from a stranger in the amount close to $6000 but not knowing what it’s for. The people who were involved in this from the Gramercy’s side are no where to be found. It feels like the managed unit and maybe even I are being targeted for a highway robbery. Gabriela offered to discuss in person but I refused unless she agrees to have a witness and/or recording the meeting. At this point, my trust on them has vaporized. Then, she went silent 😡😡😡😡 It’s regrettable but I can’t help but wondering what kind of game these people are playing. Do they habitually do similar things to the residents in the building? Many of whom are seniors living in the building, and with quite a number of them over 90. Maybe I watched too much news but if it turns out to be true, it’s not the first time people exploit seniors.

HOA can send invoice for unknown work
HOA president said verbatim “we don’t need to disclose work details. The invoice is evidence”‼️ The bldg wouldn’t answer where, what, how..on the work done and charge without prior acknowledgment and involvement of unit owner. This is the most audacious money grab I have ever heard The work was a no-bid contract because the contractor on the work is also the bldg maintenance/engineer, which we eventually found out. The bldg manager is on dinosaur rate to return emails if at all. They gave owner only 48 hours to agree on a meeting on a Saturday morning, and if not, HOA threatened to place a lien on the unit. Owner is out of the country in Asia. All in all, these are the most barbaric handlings of business I have ever encountered. They expect to able to charge anything they want without having to disclose work, and JUST PAY IT is their attitude. At this point, I am assuming I will see them in court, and this issue will take months or even years. I just had cancer treatments and they know very well about it, so I guess vulnerability attracts vultures. Owner I a free spirit nomad, so I am now going to deal with this for whatever life I have left, even if it takes years till I take my last breath. So my advice is Stay Away‼️ I have a feeling this may be their practices. Too many seniors in the building. Many are over 80. For unit 609’s welfare and for the rest of the residents, I shall fight for the justice through facts findings. Can’t believe in this day and age, someone could just do this. Ridiculous!
