Review of the Bureau of Condominiums Complaint Investigation Process

Report 97-62, March 1998




Report Summary

  • The Bureau of Condominiums does not complete investigations or close cases in a timely manner. Several factors affect the investigation process: the bureau's policy to expand investigations to additional issues; delays in obtaining needed legal or financial analysis; and the bureau's lengthy investigation reports review process.
  • The bureau is unable to resolve many of the complaints that it receives relating to master associations.
  • The bureau lacks an effective system to ensure that persons found to have violated program requirements pay administrative fines in a timely manner.
