Well, ladies and gentlemen the latest Condominium National Zocialist has reared his/her ugly hachencroize-tatooed head:
"John M. Madden will give up playing with his noisy 22-inch motorboat in the lake behind his Margate condominium, but that might not be enough to keep him afloat.
That's because the retired Boston police officer and great-grandfather plans to continue taking out his quiet, 22-inch battery-powered remote-controlled motorboat, he said Monday.
The noisy boat might have violated the city's code and resulted in fines of up to $250 a day. But playing with the quiet boat might violate Coral Gate Condominium documents that say no one may put a chair on the grass next to the lake or put a motorboat in the water.
Doing so could get him fined by his condo association, and at least one owner plans to press to enforce the bylaws.
Normy:
Why do we allow groups like this to exist? I sued a condo association in 1992 over the fact that they ripped out the screens on my patio...only to realize in court that they had very cleverly changed exactly one [1] paragraph of the condo bylaws the year before so that they weren't responsible for the expense of restoring my screens.
I lost that one, but I won in the end. The president of the board was this 72 year old man that I heard say "we don't want young people here!" one day. Me and him and the crew of workers that worked there went around and around, and eventually one of them made the mistake of telling me that he would "kill me" after an argument. I called the police, and they
arrested him. THAT was the nail in the coffin for "Adolph" Ungarro, the condo national zocialist who thought that the whole complex was his property; He was thrown out of power a month later.
Someone poured acid on Ungarro's Mercedes 280 2-seat coupe. And at one point my girlfriend's Mazda was towed away from the parking lot, and the excuse:
"we didn't know it was hers!".
It's really sad that someone poured paint stripper on Adolf's Mercedes. That was such a nice car, and it appears that the culprit put just a little bit of stripper on each panel...
OH, he loved that car sooooo much!
