Common Interest Community Board; enforcement power over continuing violations of common interest community associations. Allows the Office of the Common Interest Community Ombudsman, upon receiving any notice of a final adverse decision issued by a common interest community association, to either (i) refer such final adverse decision to the Common Interest Community Board for further review of whether such decision is in conflict with relevant laws or Board regulations or (ii) make a determination of whether such final adverse decision conflicts with relevant laws or Board regulations. If the Office determines that such final adverse decision conflicts with relevant laws or Board regulations, the bill requires the Office to promptly notify the governing board, and if applicable the common interest community manager, of the association of such determination. If the Common Interest Community Ombudsman receives a subsequent notice of final adverse decision for the same violation within one year of such determination, the Office shall refer the matter to the Board. The bill also requires the Office to maintain data on referrals made to the Board.
Finally, the bill provides that if, within one year of issuing a determination that an adverse decision issued by a common interest community association is in conflict with relevant laws or Board regulations, the Director of the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation receives a subsequent notice of final adverse decision for the same violation, the Director must refer the repeat violation to the Board. This bill is identical to SB 1042.
