Question:
Hi,
I am requesting the Condominium Association certification. Unfortunately, there are two questions required a yes or no answer and the board is declining to respond. I am concerned if the board is not transparent to owners and deny addressing the certification. This position makes me wonder if the condo is in good standing.
The questions are:
#16: Did the last inspection have any findings related to safety, soundness, structural integrity, or habitability of the project’s building? Answer: Assocation has declined to respond
#17 Is the HOA/Cooperative Corporation aware of any deficiencies related to safety, soundness, structural integrity or habitability? The Board declines to responds.
What are my options? Do you have a legal team who can help me?

Answer:
Hi Maria,
First, you can submit a written request to the board, asking them to discuss these concerns in an open board meeting. Under the Davis-Stirling Act, homeowners have the right to attend meetings and raise concerns about association matters, and the board has a duty to act in the best interests of the community.
Additionally, you can request an inspection of association records, including engineering reports and maintenance records, as California law grants homeowners the right to review such documents. Lastly, if other homeowners share similar concerns, organizing a collective request or petitioning for a special meeting could encourage the board to be more transparent.
