We'll help you diagnose your sick building!

Buildings differ from one community to the next, but when you have new volunteers joining your Board every few years (or every few months… you know who you are) it can feel IMPOSSIBLE to keep up with maintenance, bylaws, and budgets.

Ask the Building Doctor your questions and listen to the struggles of other Board members just like you. Join us on the last Tuesday of every month for The Building Doctor Show.

Free and open to Boards, homeowners, and managers! Just register for the next live webinar using the link below, and submit your questions and pictures!

Legal Liability & The Building Envelope

You shifted responsibility... but did you shift the risk?

 As more HOAs shift responsibility for key building components (like windows, decks and roofs) to individual owners, a critical question emerges: does this actually reduce risk, or simply redistribute it? In this month's episode, we'll explore the hidden legal and financial implications behind this growing trend, and what boards and community managers need to know to protect their communities.

In this episode, we'll cover:

                                              1. When HOA boards can still be held liable for building failures

                                              2. What "duty of care" really means in practice

                                              3. How lack of documentation can weaken your position in disputes

                                              4. What to watch for when updating CC&Rs

Whether you are a board member, community manager, or homeowner, this episode will give you practical insights to make more informed and safter decisions.

Join us on April 28 at 3:30PM PDT.
