Are condo buyers, owners and board members vain in Florida?
They just might be if you listen to the assessment of a veteran chief building engineer who has overseen the operations of condo towers, office buildings and retail centers in South Florida for more than 30 years.
Carlos Villanueva, principal of SeeWhyConsultingLLC.com, said many condo buyers, owners and board members often obsess about cosmetic details, such as lobby flower arrangements, air fresheners and staff courtesy.
As important as these measures may be to a condo association’s vibe, they are unlikely to affect the big ticket items that directly impact a tower’s life safety measures and special assessments.
