RE: COMPLAINT OF SALE REGARDING:
1940 3rd Ave #301, San Diego Ca. 92101
Dear California Department of Real Estate:
This is a re-statement of my initial complaint that was sent last year.
Documentation will show that there was an omission or an error or an actual intent to cause me to complete the purchase of a condominium, that was under analysis for a huge assessment. This error, omission or intent is about to cause me financial damage.
I completed the sale of the above referenced condominium and found out the
morning after close of escrow, there was a meeting scheduled to assess my unit for approximately $25,000.00: This notice was posted in the main elevator days after close of escrow and after Management Company received late HOA dues from seller. The HOA Cert’s that I received also show no assessment charges other than those that were attached to the 2nd HOA Cert. See attached documents. (2 HOA Certifications)
Both the LISTING AGENT REALTOR, and the MANAGEMENT COMPANY were aware of the work being done on the building. Both are Department of Real Estate Licensees.
Documentation will show that NOWHERE, was there any mention of any assessment amounts or any intention to show any assessments until the day after close of escrow.
Neither the Management Company, your licensee, nor the Realtor claims that they knew of any work being planned in advance, even though building scaffolding was present and bids were being examined for planned work.
Unknown to myself, the building scaffolding was up for at least 6-months for this very purpose. It was communicated to me that the Management Company was only doing regular maintenance.
I have been damaged financially. I ask you to investigate this with the enclosed documentation.
