Posted on Saturday, February 9, 2019, after raw sewage has gone unaddressed by the HOA Board & Bayside Management. I love where I live and I have many wonderful neighbors, but in my experience the current state of Building A. is problematic, the HOA's Board and Bayside Management have been unresponsive. An unsanitary event with raw sewage that impacted at least four units on February 5, 2019, has gone undiagnosed and unaddressed.
I'm not sharing my experience to discourage buyers, I only wish someone had disclosed the history of long-standing problems with the HOA's Board and Management Company with me before I invested in my home purchase in November 2017.
This site documents current challenges I have experienced with the HOA's Board and Bayside Management.
There are many things that I wish I had known before buying that aren't in the disclosures.
I bought a renovated one-bedroom unit ($520k) that looked beautiful, but I was unaware that the community has a long history of negligence. I hope you find this information useful before you make a similar investment.
Point Sausalito is lovely and conveniently located. However, I wish I had been aware that there was a lawsuit that concluded in 2018 after lengthy mediation. In my time here, I have experienced:
- Discrimination & Malicious Intent by the HOA Board & the Management company.
- Sewage problems left unaddressed for more than 24 hours and then not addressed by the HOA's Board or Bayside Management.
- Jacuzzi has been broken since 2018 and there are no plans at this time to repair it (current estimation is rumored by residents, who attended the most recent board meeting, to be $40k for pipe replacement).
- Excessive wood rot and mold throughout the property.
- Burned "radiant heating" pipes (some units are unable to use heat).
- Multiple wall fires (three units burned down in 2017).
- Fire-related "event" on December 8, 2018.
- Electric panels have been recalled and brought to the attention of the HOA Board and Bayside Management, but there is no plan to fix them.
- Aggressive dog behavior and biting has occurred on the property and has not been addressed by the HOA's Board or Bayside Management.
Note: The jacuzzi below was recently covered to help assist with home sales.
