Financial statements still withheld

Copy of email sent to Ne-An Services on February 11th:

The last Financial statement posted was 2011.
Was 2013 completed? I would assume so, since the 2014 Budget has been approved.
Could I please get copies of 2012, 2013?
Also, what is the balance on the loan taken for the entrance work?
Is it paid off?

Thanks

Flavio


As of February 13th, still no answer from Ne-An Services.
Is there a problem?
Financial statements should be published on a timely manner, and made public.

Financial statements withheld

In 2009, the Management company finally released financial statements back from 2007.

After the removal of the Board via Recall, the people of Kempton Park finally got info, that should be public.
Today, as the previous group of homeowners took back the Board, the financial statements are again not available. All we have on hand is 2007-2011.
We will see what they will produce once asked to release 2012 and 2013.
They apparently voted a Budget for 2014, so this one too should be of interest.
In Dec 2013, they proceeded to the election of Board members. Very little warning was given for that meeting. They are resulting to their old ways again: Secrecy, or minimal information.
The names of the current board members are unknown at this time.


  • In 2007, $52,347 were spent for Administration? 
  • Over $169,000 in Expenses for 2007? 
  • Miscellaneous income?

A false sense of Security

When entering Kempton Park Orlando escorted by Real Estate Agents, people are being sold a "safe" and "gated community". Either the Real Estate agents are uninformed or are literally lying to the potential buyers.
It is not so, as the gate rarely works, and any one can enter since there are no fences, nor walls.
The entrance wall is just that a decorative entrance wall. And yes, you will see a few fake cameras pointing to the gate and the little shack house that serves no purpose.
About 100 yards North of the gate, there is an entrance where trucks can drive through following the power lines.
As far as entering on foot, any can enter on either side of the gates. There is no guard, and the cameras are fake. One can also enter or escape anywhere through the woods around the community, as there is NO fence or wall. Yeah, maybe a few barb wires low on the ground, that do NOT prevent flocks of Dear from running through and across to travel to next wooded areas.
And then comes the speed at which the residents drive through the streets. The main street used to be a Parking area for visitors, and made it narrower. Today, they "OUTLAWED" visitor parking, and the main street looks like a Highway, encouraging people to drive fast. Your kids are in danger when walking across this drag.



Then on the side streets, speed limit signals are removed by residents (those who like to speed), and it stays that way for months. Keep in mind the HOA collects $820 a year per house, with over 340 houses. You do the math, it should be plenty of money, if it was not wasted or ....

Potential speeders that dislikes cars parked in the streets (becomes too dangerous, children may be hiding behind them) will call the towing company and have your car removed. Since the towing company is highly unethical, they will tow it and say it was parked incorrectly. You will have to pay $120 in fees. Very high fee. Since the towing company works with the HOA, I highly suspect some of the initial board members are getting a kickback from the towing fee.

A quote from a resident dealing with the towing company

"Massive towing driver then threatened to hit me and another family member."

The Towing Issue

Between 2005 and 2007, I am not sure when exactly, the HOA decided that the Visitor Parking was no longer necessary.

Along the same wish, the HOA implemented new Parking Rules, excluding parking on the streets between the hours of Midnight and 5 am.
One wheel on the grass "common" in front of houses that residents maintain, will cost you $120 in towing fees, and a trip to: Massive Towing of Orlando, Inc.




When a resident calls them, usually the towing company will remove the vehicle even though it might not always be parked against the said "Rules". A trip should be justified with income, right?



The HOA likes to change Rules on a whim.

Towing Rules prior to 2013 as posted on the "Ofiicial Website":


The towing Rules per the last HOA News letter May 2013. No other has been sent since.

Why elect to live in such a community?


  • In 2005, Kempton Park Orlando had a visitor parking area
  • The HOA changed that with only the participation of a few ruling members
  • Most hoa's give warnings for unwanted vehicles. Not here in Kempton Park Orlando, they will have your car towed just with one call to Massive Towing.
  • Well, the gate in Kempton Park Orlando worked for 2 weeks, and it is broken again.
  • Kempton Park Orlando has a gate, but no walls around it, nor fence. The gate is mostly used as an excuse to collect money for stickers or cards.
  • The hoa at Kemton Park Orlando borrows money without asking residents, then increases the fee.
  • Prairie Meadows North side is missing the 20 mph & Children
    at play signs.
  • HOA meetings are rare, and usually called with a 48 hours warning.
