Assessments have NOT gone up for two years. Evidently, they should have because now, instead of spreading the expense which should have been anticipated over time we will be paying it in one lump sum. And while an average of $550 each is not that much, (Yes, I know that not all of the #550 is for the inspection) it's still aggravating to have to pay for something we thought we were paying for all along. I certainly hope that the reserves have been more closely studied now and it has been determined that we are indeed putting enough away. Otherwise, once the next usual expected expenses occur (roof, next critical inspection, painting, whatever) we will be paying another "special", which is, by definition, supposed to be assessesed for UNEXPECTED expenses.
Also, compared to buildings with doormen, pools, work-out facilities, we have a very low assessment. A condo in Skybridge the size of mine has an assessment of $720/month which is twice mine.

As for the spec assess. issue, I agree with Mary for the most part, our
assessments went up this year and I have to respectfully disagree w/ you
Jim, what 'Low Assessments'? I pay 336.00 a month and I for the life of me
can't understand what I get for that money considering I have already paid
almost 10K into the last special assessment.
