HOA Reform Rally against HOA abuses
Monday, 06 December 2010

Northeast Houston residents protest HOA management
“I'm entitled to know how they spent my money and they have not furnished the records to me,” said Kenneth Sugg, Jr., a former Pine Village North board member.  Robin Klar Lent will be talking about HOA abuses at a Saturday rally. It will be held at Bayland Community Center located at 6400 Bissonnet on Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon. “We need open records, open meetings, fair elections,” said Klar Lent, the Texas Homeowners for HOA Reform President. “We need to end unfair foreclosures.”

HOUSTON – A group of northeast Houston residents say they are holding a rally to protest the mismanagement of their neighborhood’s homeowners association.

The resident’s main concern is the locks that were placed on the subdivision’s gates that possibly created a delay for first responders. 
   
Blouis Gipson, who recently lost his wife to a heart attack, said he wonders what would have happened if the Pine Village North subdivision had a different lock on the gates.
 
“I tried CPR and I called 911 immediately,” said Gipson.
 
But help was held up because the homeowners association had the gate chained shut with a lock, he said.  A report from the fire department said the crew had to cut the lock off of the gate.
 
“By the time EMS got here, she had died,” said Gipson
 
There was a fire a few months ago that destroyed several town homes and the fire department was locked out, the residents said.
 
“They had to cut down a chain,” said George Uber.
  
State law says subdivisions should have an approved 911 lock on chained gates -- that's a lock that local emergency crews have a key to open.
 
Michael Stubbs, the Pine Village North Home Owners Association president, said there was a 911 lock on the gate before the fire, but it wasn't the one that the local fire departments were using in the area. He said the association has now fixed that issue.
 
Pine Village North residents disagreed, saying there wasn’t a 911 lock on the gate.
 
"These are disgruntled homeowners who think they should be in charge of HOA. Anything anybody ever requested has been available," Stubbs said.
 
The lock is changed now, but residents said there's so much more that needs to be fixed.

“I'm entitled to know how they spent my money and they have not furnished the records to me,” said Kenneth Sugg, Jr., a former Pine Village North board member.

Robin Klar Lent will be talking about HOA abuses at a Saturday rally. It will be held at Bayland Community Center located at 6400 Bissonnet on Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon.
 
“We need open records, open meetings, fair elections,” said Klar Lent, the Texas Homeowners for HOA Reform President. “We need to end unfair foreclosures.”
