Habitability Violation – Urgent Request for Inspection

Subject: Habitability Violation – Urgent Request for Inspection


To Whom It May Concern:

I am requesting an immediate inspection and enforcement action regarding unlivable and unsanitary conditions in my HOA-managed condominium unit, due to persistent plumbing backflow, contaminated water exposure, and insect infestation.

The kitchen sink and bathroom fixtures have repeatedly filled with graywater and decomposing waste from a shared drainage system, despite no plumbing activity on my end. After an unannounced “snaking” of the lines from my attic (I have the recording), the kitchen sink filled with dirty water containing food particles and grime. The bathroom (on Day 6 of the intrusion—at nearly the same time daily) experienced black sludge intrusion—followed by a gnat infestation, indicating stagnant waste has been present long enough to support larval development.

These are not isolated events. The plumbing failures are chronic and appear to stem from a lack of maintenance to the common area drainage system, which is the legal responsibility of the HOA under California Civil Code §4775. As a result, these conditions also meet the threshold for substandard housing under California Health & Safety Code §17920.3, which includes:
  • Lack of adequate sanitation due to faulty plumbing
  • Accumulation of filth and contamination
  • Conditions constituting a public health nuisance
  • Insect infestation
I am documenting all evidence, including photographs, timestamps, and environmental impact. I am requesting a full inspection of the plumbing systems and enforcement action to compel proper remediation.

Please contact me promptly to confirm the scheduling of an inspection or to advise on next steps.

Sincerely,
Kristen C. White

This is Bigger Than Just One Incident—It’s Systemic Corruption

What has happened, and continues to happen, to me isn’t just a personal loss—it’s part of a much larger, calculated scheme. HOA-governed condo complexes are being hijacked and converted into high-dollar corporate rental properties. The playbook? Use fraudulent foreclosures and substandard maintenance to force out individual property owners, all while piling HOA fees onto remaining residents to fund perks that benefit corporate investors—not the people actually living there. There's a local "Rental Management" Co. spearheading this illegal conversion. If you're from Fresno, or a surrounding County in the San Joaquin Valley, you'll probably recognize their name. My case is just one example, but it’s exposing a pattern. And it’s time people started paying attention. I have launched a GiveSendGo campaign to cover immediate costs, but more importantly, to keep fighting this fight. Because if they can do it to me, they can do it to anyone. More details soon.

Unlawful Violation Fees & Selective Enforcement

... W hat Every Homeowner Should Know If you live in an HOA-controlled community, you’ve probably received a violation notice at some point. Maybe it was for parking, landscaping, or something as trivial as riding a bike or skateboard. But what happens when these fines are unlawful ? Worse yet, what if they are being selectively enforced? That’s exactly the situation I’m dealing with right now. Im currently looking at two (2) envelopes containing  twenty-one (42) violation notices—each charging me $50—for the exact same alleged infraction. But here’s the problem: The HOA’s 501(c)(4) tax status legally prohibits them from charging arbitrary fines. They can only impose fees that cover the actual cost of repairing damages. If there’s no damage, there’s no legal basis for the fee. The HOA’s CC&Rs don’t support this violation. If a rule isn’t clearly documented in the governing documents, the board cannot legally enforce it. Selective enforcement is illegal. If the HOA is...
