Hoarding Problem in Phoenix HOA Management Community

Saturday, February 4, 2012 By: HOA Admin

Firefighters ran into a major problem battling flames in a Phoenix condo complex recently.  A fire that should have been relatively easy to extinguish ended up taking much longer to put out.  As a result the flames did extensive damage to the condo complex.

The firefighters on the scene told the media the problem was that the condo on fire was stacked from floor to ceiling with possessions.  It turns out the resident had been hoarding things and living in a unit that was full of junk.

One of the firefighters said that they had difficulty getting into the unit to fight the flames because of how much stuff was in the condo.

This is the latest example of why Phoenix HOA Management condo clients have policies against hoarding.  Filling a unit with stuff can not only be an eyesore but it can also put the lives of people in the community in danger.  It becomes a public safety hazard when residents do not follow their Phoenix HOA Management client policy and adhere to the guidelines that stipulate that hoarding is not allowed.

This example is a good one if you have issues in your condo complex and need to demonstrate in real life terms why these policies exist.

We suggest our condo clients pay particular attention to hoarding to make sure this situation does not happen in their community.  Simply keeping your eyes open and looking around the property as you walk through it can alert you to issues that may be developing.  Periodic reminders to residents are also a good practice to help make sure this doesn’t happen in your complex.
