OPEN LETTER TO DBPR SECRETARY JONATHAN ZACHEM
Secretary Jonathan
Zachem
Department of Business &
Professional Regulation
1940 N Monroe St
Tallahassee, FL 32303
Deland, October 3, 2017
Dear Secretary
Jonathan Zachem,
With all due
respect: Your department is totally failing Florida’s citizens.
Especially the leadership of the
Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares and Mobile Homes is
totally ignoring the cries for help by Florida’s condo owners
who are paying their salaries. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!
Condo owners and homeowners all over Florida are outraged – and
this year’s Grand Jury report published by the Miami-Dade State
Attorney’s office filed on February 6, 2017 makes it very clear
that the Division and especially its leadership are inapt and
are doing more harm than good to Florida’s condo owners.
FLORIDA’S CONDO OWNERS ARE OUTRAGED!
Over the last 10
years we have had DBPR Secretaries come and go – with an average
life-span of about 18 months. Then, with the complaints about
the ineffectiveness and dismal performance of the DBPR piling
up, the governor – all governors so far showed the same modus
operandi -- replaced the secretary and the same circle started
again.
We are fully aware
that being DBPR Secretary is an appointed position – meaning we
owners can’t vote you – or your incompetent employees -- out of
office. But, we all know that the person who appointed you to
your momentary position is Governor Rick Scott who is
running for state-wide political office next year – meaning
voters could blame him for the total failure of the DBPR. Is
that what you have in mind by ignoring the pleas of millions of
homeowners and condo owners – a wide majority of them being
registered voters?
It is about time
that you appoint people to positions within the Division
of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares and Mobile Homes and its
Arbitration Section who are willing to do their job and enforce
the laws created by Florida’s elected officials.
The same do-nothing
people are in leadership positions for many years, doing lots of
damage to Florida and the reputation of the former “Sunshine
State”. There is little sunshine left for Florida’s condo
owners. Florida has a reputation as a state not enforcing its
laws.
Division staff
writes misleading and even factually wrong letters to Florida’s
citizens in order to protect their own shortcomings. Staff
members have even serious conflicts of interests. You could call
it as well: They flat out lie! There have been many cases where
citizens accused the DBPR of not regulating businesses and
professions, but actually protecting them against legitimate
complaints filed against them.
I am now since 17
years collecting documentation about DBPR problems, especially
about the Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares, and
Mobile Homes and community association manger (CAM) regulation.
The content of these documents is devastating. Documents don’t
lie – unlike employees – and are proof that the Division is
dysfunctional.
ARE YOU GOING TO
MAKE THE MUCH NEEDED CHANGES AND APPOINT PEOPLE TO THE POSITIONS
NEEDED TO DO THE JOB? WILL THE DIVISION'S PERFORMANCE IMPROVE
UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP?
FLORIDA’S VOTERS DEFINITELY HOPE SO!
Warm Regards,
Jan Bergemann
