BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2023 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Homeowners in the Boca Raton community of L’Ambiance are suing the Homeowner’s Association and its board of directors, claiming that the HOA is taking money and not providing required services and maintenance. The suit was just filed in Palm Beach County Circuit Court.

According to the complaint obtained by BocaNewsNow.com, Amanda Beraglia and Daniel Weinstein purchased a home in December of 2020 and — while taking title — received documentation confirming that the HOA is responsible for “exterior walls” in the community of townhomes and villas. But despite that written guarantee, the HOA allegedly let the walls of the home deteriorate. The deterioration was allegedly so pronounced that water permeated the home and mold spread throughout.

“On or about June 10, 2022, Defendant (The L’Ambiance HOA), breached its duty to Plaintiffs by failing to maintain, at the Association’s expense, exterior walls of the Plaintiff’s property. On or about June 10, 2022, as a consequence of the Defendant’s breach of Maintenance Duty, the Plaintiff’s Property suffered from water intrusion and mold damage, resulting in damage to Plaintiffs.”

Alleges the complaint: “The Plaintiff’s property was damaged by water intrusion which originated from a source that the Defendant was obligated to maintain, repair, and replace: the exterior walls.”

The suit seeks in excess of the statutory minimum for filing in Palm Beach County Circuit Court — $50,000. L’Ambiance did not immediately file a response to the suit. Read the complete complaint, below.
