We feel that our trustee organization has become unstrustworthy, and that the "manager" of our building (why does a condo have a manager anyway?) has let the power go to his head. He treats people rudely, ignores genuine tenant issues in favor of less imperitive proposals put for by the Turstees. Even thogh owners are told they can attend the monthly meetings, we are frequently asked to leave - and then, made fun of (per our inside sources) by the property manager and some of the trustees. Our e-mails about valid concerns go unanswered by the trustees or the manager.
The question is: can we do a "vote of no confidence" and get the manager removed? Is this provided for in Roberts Rules of Order? If we needed to get an atty for this type of this - what typs of attorney would handle this issue? (We are in Quincy - right south of Boston MA)

It does sound as if you are mis-managed. Why is the board mistreating fellow owners? That is the whole purpose of serving, to protect ALL owners interests. I'm sorry I don't know more, I own a condo and work in the business too, but I have never heard of such a bad situation. I will post more after I ask around tomorrow. And, by the way, a properly run association needs a property manager to keep things landscaped, keep the lights in the hallways on, and pay the employees on your behalf, etc. There should be no "power" to go to anyones' head, it is a service job not at all prestigious.

You would need to call the property manager first. The street issue depends on a couple of things. 1)It may not be a "public street" if it is on condo property and may fall under a condo associatioin of rules like a home association has rules. 2)If it is a true public street, it can depend on city ordinance as well. Check those things out first, go to the property manager. If that doesn't work and it's parked near a fire hydrant, etc., then you can try the police, but make sure to call the non-emergency number listed for your area. Don't call 911.

Your condo board HAS to listen to the owners! Your HOA fees are paid, so you have a voice.
All of you get together during the next meeting and demand that the manager be removed.

is the manager also the owner? if not contact the owner.there are laws that should let you vote to have him removed or to sue the owner for letting this kind of behavior take place.
if that fails i suggest moving.

The answers to this should be plainly spelled out in your purchase agreement.
