I unfortunately live in a Townhouse condominium complex managed by Bowker and Roth, whoops I meant to say mismanaged by B&R. This complex has community amenities including a swimming pool and spa which we have been denied access since early May 2020, the access gate has been pad locked shut. The explanation offered by Kara Richards of B&R is the health and safety risk from the Covid-19 virus. The HOA certainly has the right to deny access for health and safety reasons to the pool and spa. However, we have to pay for the upkeep and maintenance of both the pool and spa. And when I asked Kara Richards of B&R, the so called property manager, she claimed state authorities were responsible for closing the pool and spa, and no refund of HOA dues will be given. Why must we pay for the upkeep of the pool and spa when we are denied access to both? The costs to maintain the pool and spa are not refundable, even when the pool and spa can not be used. This is a rip off by Bowker & Roth.
