Petaluma's historic-landmark inventory distinguishes downtown commercial buildings from nearby residential historic areas. HOA boards should document their own property's status, common elements and maintenance history before comparing management. Provide existing contracts and open projects so the proposal can explain vendor coordination and record handover in concrete terms. The community's governing documents should determine the operating scope; a neighborhood's historic character alone does not establish an association obligation or a building-specific requirement.
Chapter Two · The $40,000 story
Sunnyvale, CA · Norman’s community
First month. First financial review. $40,000 in overpriced vendors, exposed.
From the board president
“Within months, nexova ai reduced our lighting maintenance costs from $40,000 to $1,400, cut our insurance premiums by 50%, and helped us reduce a projected 50% dues increase down to 15%. When we held a community vote through the app, 77% of homeowners participated. This is what management should look like.”
