Exposing Serrano HOA's Dark Secrets: A Deceptive Memo to Keep the Scheme Going

At the heart of this scandal are individuals like current HOA President Chris Nicholson, whose recent social media post desperately attempts to deny any wrongdoing. But what’s really happening behind the scenes?

Get ready for the shocking truth. A Public Records Act request reveals the first version of Serrano’s CC&Rs—the one the HOA seemingly relies on. However, the final version quietly eliminated one key detail: “phased” commencement of assessments.

Even worse, in 2020, the HOA pulled a fast one on its general membership, lying through their teeth about annexed parcels not having voting rights—blatantly violating new California state law. The HOA continues to conceal undeveloped Class A property in order to overcharge the general membership.

This explosive exposé will unravel the lies, expose the hidden Class A members, and reveal the disturbing lengths this HOA has gone to in order to keep their multi-million-dollar mis-assessment scheme alive—all while thumbing their noses at state laws.
