I am not surprised because the VHA representatives do NOT represent us, the home owners, they are shills for the developer/family! Anyone who thinks they get representation by VHA are simply being fooled.
While it might still be a waste of time, you should send copies of all your correspondence to the POA and see if they can do anything for you. Likely not because the "rules" are on the side of the developer! Surprise!
I don't understand why the water company didn't notice this!!! Oh, yes, the water/utility company is part of the developers oversight!! Doesn't our water bill come together with our trash bill and amenity bill????????
This is my only real gripe here. I LOVE living here but the family rarely accepts responsibility even when they should. In your case, Sid, there is a moral obligation to help you out even though not legal obligation. Had the old fellow, Mr. Schwartz, still been alive you would not be going through this. He would have taken care of it and shaken your hand.
The second and third generation don't give a rats' behind about those of us who have already bought a home here and the VHA rep spoke the only truth to you when they said....yes, the family makes a lot of money and I am glad they do!!! That VHA rep is probably employed in some other capacity by the developer and owes their paycheck to them. They won't ever bite the hand that feeds them.
