UPDATE (03/20/13): Besides this potential surprise still known as a possibility when brought up in conversation, I have written recently that the front of the building is being worked on. Photos are posted in that writing. But, there are now escalators being installed in the commercial section of the first floor. The commercial part called the Podium is now making major changes to the building structure.
Who approved these changes? Under what right(s) in the Master Deed? Why was there no notice at any step given to the Unit Owners? Why the surprises? Does anyone have an explanation as to what is going on? Where is the Board? Please read the Master Deed and make note of the various sections. This research into Soho Central's corporate papers and the law may reveal serious issues that need intervention.
Coming Greenfield District Surprise?
(original web post 02/25/12): We had been asked in at least one past message whether or not we would approve of attachment via holes smashed through the building walls. Well, everyone watch and listen in case such action is taken without a Master Deed change or approval by Unit Owners.
My concern is what are the liabilities?
1. Their (Twin Oaks) pests (bugs & vermin) become our pests.
2. Their floods or water problems become our floods or water problems.
3. Their security issues and violent explosions become our security issues and violent explosions.
4. Does our property insurance increase and who will pay for that now and in the future?
5. ...
Yes, questions on possible problems we take on forever.
Perhaps to sweeten the pot after all possible issues are explored and dealt with Greenfield Development will do at least one great act. I would expect them to permanently remove themselves from the Soho Central Corporation Board, forever. Those three seats would be for Soho Central Unit Owners, forever.
Now take a look at the photos and look for yourself outside. The levels of the building match and it is no accident.
alterations to the approved plans with HLURB must be informed to all owners and needs the approval of owners and then the approval of HLURB. the developer/commercial zone cannot just make changes as they please.
ReplyDeletetotal disregard for the laws of their own land, these developers.
