MORE SHENANIGANS FROM ASSOCIATION LEADERS

THE VILLAGE OF KINGS CREEK CONDOMINIUM, INC.

I guess there is always something wrong in "The Village of Kings Creek Condominium Association, Inc.” as long as the "tag team" of Astrid Buttari (Association President) and Mireya Villaverde (Community Association Manager) are running the show. Owners are permanently filing complaints, from "wasting" $10,000 on an outside group to fight nearby development, to record requests, parking decals, elevator permits and/or the infamous $100.00 REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT (CASH ONLY) LETTER

 

This time a former employee alleges that these two "association leaders" -- Villaverde and Buttari -- have used employees of the cleaning/maintenance crew to perform work on their private properties while on association payroll. Please read the LETTER distributed to the owners by one of the former employees -- Domingo Hernández. Hernández was a long-time employee of the Villages. Knowing the modus operandi of Buttari and Villaverde he sure thought twice before distributing this letter! You can be pretty sure he can prove his allegations.

 

But Buttari and Villaverde know that they can violate Florida statutes whenever they like, because the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, supposedly enforcing the Florida statutes for condominium and community association managers, is completely failing to do the job.

 

Even after finding that President Astrid Buttari was responsible for "donating" $10,000 of association funds, clearly violating Florida statutes, all the Division could muster was a so-called WARNING LETTER. Owners filed all kinds of complaints, only to see them rejected and/or ignored by the DBPR employees.

Look at the Complaint Details of Community Association Manager Mireya Villaverde. It shows you why condo owners of FRAUD FRIENDLY FLORIDA claim that filing complaints with the DBPR is just a total waste of time and resources.

And that is exactly the reason why Buttari and Villaverde think they can get away with all these violations.
