Condominium Project Questionnaire (Full), draft
SAMPLE - FICTIONAL COMMUNITY
Harborview Commons Condominium, Tampa, FL (84 units)
Draft prepared from association-provided data for the management company's review and signature. The management company is the preparer and signer of record. Informational only: no legal advice, no statutory interpretation. Every package is checked against the agency requirements before delivery.
The questionnaire body is completed exactly as it is on the clean example, from this building’s own documents. What follows is the review it received.
Review
BLOCKED 36 pass, 5 to resolve
Why this one stops here
- COND-01-CRITICAL-REPAIRS: ineligible until remediated: safety/soundness/structural/habitability deficiency; advanced deterioration
- COND-02-EVACUATION: active evacuation order; ineligible until the unsafe condition is remediated
- COND-03-SA-REMEDIATION: (1) Parking structure post-tension repairs (assessment 2026-A): addresses critical repairs and the issue is not yet remediated (collection status irrelevant)
- COND-04-INSPECTION: inspection shows critical repairs needed and not yet remediated; evacuation order outstanding; outstanding regulatory actions or violations
- PROC-01-CPM-STATUS: CPM status Unavailable (checked 2026-08-10): ineligible for delivery under every review path including waived; no lender override exists; the reason lives in the project's CPM Comments section (FAQ Q18), and a Status Review request in CPM is the only path to change it
Every check, all 60 of them, with its result and the rule it comes from
