I recently contacted about 8 federal, state, and city agencies involving the unethical practices of a non profit property owners, Board of Directors," for the following:

Changing bylaws without shareholder approval

Using city police as an enforcement vehicle to hold illegal board elections in restraining any opposition from shareholders to vote members off the board out of office. For example, the Board of Directors would make a decision as to who are shareholders and who are not shareholders. When that shareholder's fate was decided that they were no long a shareholder, they would receive mailings stating they are not allowed to come to meetings, they had no voting rights, they have no rights to send out flyers to shareholders to have a proper election, etc....
(When this same person, came to a board meeting, the board president held up her arms to prevent him from entering the building; when he lightly pushed through, the police charged him with simple assault and told him to leave. While the police were looking over his paperwork showing that he was a shareholder, I took a picture. The police asked me who I was and I told them I'm a documentary producer. The police then told me they would prefer that I not take pictures. The previous day, this same person, when sending out flyers to promote a fair election, the board had the police come out to stop him from littering, although the board sends out flyers in similar fashion on occasion)

Using money for projects, and misleading shareholders into thinking their board is doing projects for city code compliances like fire lanes for example.

Disallowing shareholders to use certain facilities like renting their club house, but allowing a religious group to do so, when shareholders are required to cover expenses to maintain that facility.

Holding illegal elections, with only a small percentage of shareholders.

This board has a policy that if the board of director's president is sued by a shareholder, that the shareholder will have to cover their legal expenses, and all shareholders will be required to cover the expenses of the president's legal counsel, before any verdict is decided by a judge.

Another shareholder who once openly questioned their election practices at a board meeting was told to leave, and the city police started walking towards them after their comments.

Not allowing shareholders to submit names for board elections.

Giving ballots that do not allow write in names to vote on.

Basically, the agencies I have spoken with have said they don't want to get involved, because there wasn't a major diversion of assets, or a misuse of large amounts of money. Some didn't responds, and other responded by passing the buck to some other agency who would not want to get involved. Some also say to take civil action.

Is there any watchdog group or anyone who would be interested in possibly holding this board of directors accountable for their actions? Recently I had made an award winning documentary about slumlords in Philadelphia and now I'm considering on making a production of this situation.

Any comments or suggestion?

Sincerely,
Rodney Gray
