No one on the board will talk about it, so we’ve only heard his side and don’t know if he’s telling the truth. I’m worried that no one will want to buy his condo because of the lien. How will they know that everyone else paid the assessment and all the work was done years ago? If there really is a lien, a new owner may think there’s a current problem.
