Silent Property Inspections & Customized Reports

​

​

Quality Control Silent property inspections, akin to the concept of secret shopping, offer numerous benefits to homeowner associations (HOAs) seeking to enhance quality control and governance. This approach involves hiring a professional inspection firm, such as the Association Inspector Consultancy Firm, to conduct discreet evaluations of the property and management services provided by the association.

​

One significant advantage of silent property inspections is the impartiality and objectivity they bring to the evaluation process. Unlike assessments conducted by the board of directors, which may be influenced by personal biases or conflicts of interest, third-party inspections provide an unbiased assessment of the property's condition and the performance of the management company.

​

Additionally, silent inspections allow for a more comprehensive and detailed evaluation of the property and management practices. Professional inspectors are trained to identify issues and areas for improvement that may go unnoticed by board members or property managers. Their detailed reports provide valuable insights into maintenance deficiencies, operational inefficiencies, and compliance issues, enabling the board to make informed decisions and take corrective actions promptly.

​

By outsourcing property inspections to a reputable consultancy firm, HOAs can also demonstrate their commitment to transparency and accountability. Third-party reports offer a level of credibility and trustworthiness that internal assessments may lack, reassuring homeowners that their interests are being safeguarded.

​

Furthermore, silent property inspections help alleviate the burden on the board of directors by delegating the responsibility of performance evaluation to experts in the field. This allows board members to focus on strategic planning, policy-making, and other governance matters, rather than getting bogged down in day-to-day operational assessments.

​

Overall, implementing silent property inspections facilitated by a professional consultancy firm offers HOAs a proactive approach to quality control and governance. By obtaining objective, expert evaluations of their property and management practices, associations can identify areas for improvement, enhance transparency and accountability, and ultimately ensure the satisfaction and well-being of their homeowners.

Short-Term Rental Violation/Report

  1. Lease Term Requirement.Beginning January 1, 2021, Civ. Code § 4741(c) expressly allows governing documents to prohibit transient or short-term rentals for a period of 30 days or less.  (This statute codifies the 2008 Mission Shores v. Pheil case, which held that a CC&R provision requiring rentals to be at least 30 days is reasonable.) Unfortunately, the statute is silent on the validity of governing documents that prohibit transient or short-term rentals for a period of more than 30 days. Some HOA attorneys believe that the prohibition for a period of more than 30 days is always prohibited. Other HOA attorneys believe that such provisions are not automatically unenforceable, but that the burden is on the association to establish that such "greater than 30-day minimum lease term" is reasonable in the context of that particular development. Until there is clarifying legislation or an appellate decision addressing rental prohibitions for a period of more than 30 days, we recommend that boards consult with the association's legal counsel for advice on this issue.

Association Inspector is a comprehensive property inspection service that specializes in conducting thorough A-Z inspections of properties to identify and track down short-term rentals in violation of the 30-day minimum requirement of HOA law rental restrictions. The primary focus is on properties listed on platforms such as Airbnb, VRBO, and similar services. The firm aims to alleviate stress for HOA boards and committees by providing professional analysis and facilitating the enforcement of rental restrictions.

The process involves the following key steps:

​

  1. Full A-Z Inspection:

    • Association Inspector conducts a detailed inspection of the property to ensure compliance with HOA rental restrictions.

    • The inspection covers all aspects of the property to identify any violations related to short-term rentals.

  2. Violation Tracking:

    • The service actively tracks down properties that are in violation of the 30-day minimum requirement.

    • Properties listed on popular short-term rental platforms like Airbnb and VRBO are specifically targeted.

  3. Hearing and Fines:

    • Once violators are identified, the firm facilitates a hearing where they can be held accountable for their actions.

    • The Association Board has the authority to impose fines on violators to enforce compliance with rental restrictions.

  4. Retaliation Protection:

    • Association Inspector, being a third-party service, provides a layer of protection against retaliation from homeowners in violation.

    • Homeowners may be less likely to retaliate when the enforcement is conducted by an independent entity.

  5. Professional Analysis:

    • The firm emphasizes professionalism in its approach, ensuring that all inspections and analyses are conducted with a high level of expertise.

    • This professionalism extends to the reporting and presentation of findings to the Association Board.

  6. Fee Structure:

    • Association Inspector charges a fee for each violation found during the inspection process.

    • The fee structure is designed to cover the costs of the inspection service and contribute to the overall effectiveness of the enforcement process.

 

In summary, Association Inspector provides a comprehensive solution for HOAs to enforce rental restrictions effectively. By offering detailed property inspections, tracking down violators, and facilitating the enforcement process, the firm aims to create a hassle-free experience for HOA boards and committees. The third-party status of Association Inspector adds an extra layer of protection for homeowners in violation, and the professionalism of the service ensures a thorough and credible analysis of each property.
