HOA Community Manager Da Silva Charged by Attorney General

December 2, 2011 by admin.

After over 3 and 1/2 years of unexplained delays, the first of dozens of allegations of illegal acts submitted against (former and current)  Sun City Anthem Community Managers employed by RMI has finally reached the point of a public disciplinary hearing.

The accused person is long-time Del Webb, Pulte and RMI employee, Terri Da Silva.

The Nevada Commission for Common Interest Communities and Condominium Hotels (CICCH) will hear the formal prosecution by the Deputy Attorney General during a session scheduled at 9 AM for December  6-8, 2011.

This hearing/trial for alleged law violations in 2008 follows by only a few weeks the previously scheduled prosecution against certain 2008 SCA Directors (led by 2007 and 2008 Board Presidents Mike Dixon and Roz Berman) where the individuals were excused from trial due to a surprise technical error in the State’s paperwork. 

But, because the facts of the previous case were never heard by the Commission, AnthemVOICE hears that the State is considering resubmitting revised charges in 2012. 

That case was reported on in the previous AnthemVOICE and LV Review Journal articles at these links:

Coming so soon after the IRS issued its 2011 audit findings against the 2007-2008 SCA Boards claiming SCA owed $1.3 Million in back taxes and penalties, 2012 looks like it could be a hard year for some former SCA board members, auditor, attorneys and collaborating community managers.  Link to one of the reports on IRS Audit:

Finally, since there have been dozens of extremely well-documented State Law violation complaints filed by SCA members against SCA Boards and RMI Community Managers since 2008, perhaps there could be some distant hope for homeowner justice, after all?  

At this point, we have only seen the tip of the iceberg of potential State prosecutions against the SCA Boards and contractors.  Meanwhile, the FBI criminal cases of HOA fraud, abuse and racketeering are reaching an ever-wider group of involved board members, community management company employees, and public officials.
