[NJ] [TH] - Snow Plowing for $31,000?
Hello! Our small townhome community is getting hit with an Emergency Common Expense Assessment that we are to split. The HOA is telling us that snow plowing for this winter cost $31,000. While it was a snowier winter than usual in NJ, I cannot fathom how they spent 31 grand on snow plowing. They were here no more than 5 times this winter. I WFH and know they were not here that often, or for that long. Do we homeowners have right to see the statements? And am I crazy for thinking there is something shady with that amount?
Edit to add more context- Driveways are not included, and neither are sidewalks. Only corner/end areas of sidewalks that are considered common area are included (and they actually weren't even done this year.) I found out the township actually does the streets, which makes the $31k even harder to swallow. So now all we're talking is two small parking lots (about 15 and 10 spots each) and a few corner sidewalk areas.
