>>1794446Got nothing to do with developers. Developers generally hand control of the board over to owners/shareholders after a certain amount of time or after a certain percent of units are sold. Past that point maintenance is no longer up to them.
I know you're a suburban teenager who grew up in a single family detached, hence your rather quaint, romanticized ideas about multifamily buildings, but in actuality people in moderate income areas can be extremely sensitive to increases in maintenance fees and even more sensitive to the assessments that become unavoidable if the board is too shy about increasing fees. Things usually don't turn out as extreme as picrel but yes, actually, deferred maintenance can be a disaster for owners. Especially if the building was one of those that sold to a lot of older people on a fixed income.
Feel free to not post in the future, and just listen.
