Why put anymore money into a building that isn't even safe to live in. With the way it leans, the next earthquake could bring it down. Residents can't even sell it.
When we were looking to buy, we considered a two bed two bath condo here with a somewhat reasonable price. We ran away when we found out the HOA is about $1700/month. Happy we didn’t make this mistake. Got a SFH with no HOA in Pacifica for less.
Here's an idea, how about building it right in the first place instead of having to retrofit everything. They should be fining the developer for each instance.
