Walls are vitally important to the safety of just about any building imaginable, but they’re particularly integral to ensuring the longevity of households and residences. We sat down with Steven Lang of The Falcon Group in Bridgewater, NJ to discuss some of the key characteristics of sound, safe walls, how to ensure your buildings are up to code, and the importance of snuffing out potential hazards before they create long-lasting safety issues.

We’ve been told that funds collected for special assessments can be used only for the specific purpose for which they were passed and approved, and that we need to give written notice of the specific purpose to all members and then can use the money only for that purpose. Can the board change the purpose of the special assessment and add it as a part of an increased fee? Are there any special accounting requirements?

My wife and I are planning to buy a home in a 55 and over HOA with single family homes. I’m just 55 now, and my wife is a few years younger. We have one child who is only 25 who lives independently in another state. We’re a little concerned, should something happen to my wife and I, would our son still be able to inherit the property? In order to purchase in the community, at least one owner needs to be least 55 or older.
