HoardersOct 22, 2014

Interested in hearing from others about how their board's are handling hoarders and/or hoarder types. We are in a small 12 unit Co-op. Most units have been renovated. Some of the original "sponsors" are still here and have never done anything to the Units. So, there's old plumbing, old makeshift kitchens and on top of that units are full of stuff.

Is it the Board's responsibility to check each unit for potential hazardous conditions such as crowded space?

Thanks for commenting .

I think that if the board receives complaints about a unit hoarding, then there is a responsibility for the board to check and determine any potential hazardous or safety conditions. We have a clause in our co-ownership agreement that allows the board access to a unit for any work that is being done on the building (and could impact a unit) or for safety reasons.
