Nice clean neighborhood

I’ve lived here a couple years and the parking situation is shit. There’s two red cars that always park out on the street when they have their own parking lots free. Several neighbors do the same and take up parking spaces on the street. The one in charge of the board is completely biased and she, Caroline, manages where I live. I don’t recommend living her because of the board being biased and will most likely target you

I am writing this review under the assumption that this listing with just the word "Parkhaven" is the HOA, Yelp listing is unclaimed as of this time as well so there is limited information. But a little information about some neighbors is here as well. A quick search for Steward Property Services which they utilized will also show they do not have a good review on both general consumer rating sites and association rating sites, but I think it's likely both have issues. There is some history of the HOA overstepping their bounds, likely due to ignorance. Years ago the POLICE asked me to put up a no parking sign since a former tenant had effectively abandone the vehicle, they asked me to take it down because of course their simple rule of thumb is "it doesn't look good" and once informed I was instructed to do so by law enforcement then they basically responded "oh it's okay then." Most recently I got a letter from the manager at Steward Property asking for some things to be changed with a compliance number resembling a ticket from law enforcement, CITING NO HOA CODE VIOLATION, including dictating that I replace blinds which is of course INSIDE the unit. I don't know who is the source of such communications, who comes up with the formatting of the form letter so who's just the messenger but it seems like they don't care about having grounds to ask you to do something. By the way, during COVID years I had at least one "neighbor" leaving anonymous notes in my mailbox threatening to inform the association with the FIRST message for something they take issue with. Not even the second where a little time has passed since obviously if the message was ignored it would be warranty. Apparently they don't have the decency to talk to me in person or leave any kind of contact information for them, it strikes me as people not dealing with others in good faith and can't take responsibility for their own reactions to superficial appearances which of course does no harm to anyone. I've looked into law firms that work to defend against HOAs and have found one that specializes in them at this point since I consider it very likely they will overstep, due to sheer ignorance or laziness (to reference actual HOA code) if nothing else. Oh yeah, they also asked a resident to take down a Feng Shui ornament before. How much you want to bet they wouldn't do that with a crucifix? My advice: Document everything, look into law firms specializing in HOAs.
