IS THIS BLOG SITE OPEN OR CLOSED?

A word from the blog site owner: 

In blogosphere terms this is a relatively old blog. All the fireworks are over and there will be no new updates unless something 'newsworthy' about this issue comes up.

The material is good historically as just about everything I could find on the issue was copied and posted here. So if you are interested in the topic it is all awaiting your review.


Note:  In mid-Jan 2013 I sold my condo at NCC for $93,000, this was about 8% over the going rate for 3/2 condos.  The offer from the developer to repurchase the unit was made 2 weeks after my filing to run for the Board of Directors with the sole platform of bouncing Concord Management out of NCC.

The condo was consistently mis-managed and all but the very last Board were worthless rubber stamps for the Developer and Concord.  I am pleased to be gone from NCC.

Press Release by S.O.

From 7/22/08 you might recall the below incident here at NCC, it was in the local papers, subject to a press release by the BCSO and reported further down on this blog at: http://nautiluscondosrules.blogspot.com/2008/08/developers-will-rent-to-just-anyone-to.html



Meth Lab Dismantled

"The Bay County Sheriffs Office Special Investigations Division dismantled a Methamphetamine Lab in Bay County yesterday afternoon, July 22, 2008.

Narcotics officers developed information that led to a search warrant on a residence at 1502 Lighthouse Road, Panama City Beach. Investigators discovered five children living within the home and an active methamphetamine lab in the cooking process in the closet and bathroom adjoining the master bedroom."

The developer got his unit back after filing some paperwork and you might be wondering what happened to the 2 adults. Both remain in custody with the next appearance set for a 4/28/2009 Pretrial Conference for Dunkley and one for Hammock on 5/26/2009. If you have the time or interest you can pull up their information at the below click on links:

In theory, NCC condos when rented out by the management firm, require background checks on applicants. Private rentals by owners and their real estate agents do not require such checks, hopefully the realtors fronting for the owners will do so on their own initative but it isn't so far a requirement. It should be!
The potential for additional criminal enterprise here at NCC is great with such a very high ratio of renters to owners (3 to 1).

At the time of the rental to Dunkley and Hammock even the most minor internet check of county records would have revealed their criminal pasts plus Dunkley had been evicted from another rental complex the prior year.

Currently potential renters of Concord managed units at NCC are required to undergo credit and background checks so as to avoid situations as described here.
Tenant Lisa Dunkley had prior convictions and an eviction at another property a year before applying here. Her boyfriend Daniel Hammock had over 20 arrests just in Bay County at that time. Under the old Seagrove management company they were approved for a unit here, under Concord they would not have been approved to rent here.
Unfortunately this backgrounding is not required of owners who rent out their units either via Realtors or by their own efforts. The owners and BOD need to address this loophole and make sure that everyone who rents a unit at Nautilus Cove is subject to both a credit and background check.

"Narcotics officers developed information that led to a search warrant on a residence at 1502 Lighthouse Road, Panama City Beach. Investigators discovered five children living within the home and an active methamphetamine lab in the cooking process in the closet and bathroom adjoining the master bedroom." July 23, 2008

=================================
The date for the AGM is Dec 19th and the notice about the meeting is posted below FYI.

With all the problems in the housing market quite a lot of owners are not residing on the property and either have their units on the market or are renting them out. My guess is that there will be little interest in the AGM.

Problems With Renters at Nautilus Cove


Here are 7 pages of court files from the 2 renters in unit 1502, Daniel Hammock and Lisa Dunkley who made headlines with a Bay County Sheriffs Press Release titled: "Meth Lab Dismantled".


They remain in jail pending the outcome of their various charges from this July 22nd arrest. The information is presented here FYI and in the hopes that the owners in this complex will demand that better screening is done with regard to the approx 40% of the units that are rented out here at Nautilus Cove.
