For those who don’t know, Berkley Court has a pool. It features in most real estate listing, as well as the logo and cover image on this site.
However, the sad truth is that the pool is just an illusion, representative of many of the other amenities we supposedly have, but never can access.
The pool has been closed for YEARS, (even before COVID entered the scene). Why? Can’t tell you – the Board did not make this initial decision in any documented meeting held in the last 7 years.
What they have documented is that they continue to spend significant amounts of home owner money on the pool, despite blocking access to the amenity.
Let’s take a closer look:
In Texas, the governor and Houston Health Department reissued guidelines for reopening shared spaces such as pools relatively early, which went into effect January 1, 2021. The pool still didn’t open.
And now, the kicker – despite all the costs and having NO ONE in the pool for years – the current, unelected Board members and property management group (Rise AMG), still couldn’t get it together to pass a Houston Health Department inspection.
Is this good stewardship of our assets?
Does this give you confidence that those responsible for maintaining the property are doing their job or know what they are doing?
