Background:

• Property info: Condo in Hawaii (850 sq ft)
• HOA manager claims a verbal removal by BOD of our 15lb weight limit for dogs.
• Yet, no written evidence or community communication supports this claim.
• HOA manager and maintenance manager own loud, aggressive 50lb dogs exceeding this limit.
• The rule: “Animals. No more than 2 domestic animals are permitted per apartment (cats, dogs, parakeets or canaries), except that an apartment may have more than 2 fish in an aquarium. Dogs may not exceed 15 pounds (adult weight).”

Concerns:

• Maintenance manager’s aggressive dog (40lb bully breed) resides below me, consistently barks, and has attempted to attack my dog. He is friends with the HOA manager.
• HOA manager has two loud 50lb dogs in our 850 sq ft condos. Their dogs know each other and together, they bark endlessly from their separate balconies.
• When asked for permission to bring my Husky since 15lb weight limit allegedly “verbally” lifted, I was told I’m only allowed one dog which he knows I already have here. Not what the rules state.
• Another resident’s unleashed German Shepherd almost attacked my dog.
• Is this selective enforcement?
• Safety risks to community and pets are escalating.

Actions:

• Multiple communications have been made to the HOA manager for clarity. Responded by referencing rules that do not exist.
• Issue escalated to the property management company’s president level.

Question:

• After CC’ing the property management on an email to the Property Manager, the President intervened, offering to speak with the Board. What’s next? Is this selective enforcement?
