Exposing the Incompetence and Self-Interest of Alan Rothenberg: The Condo President Who Fails His Residents

In the ongoing saga of mismanagement and favoritism that plagues Estates II, one name stands out as a symbol of incompetence and self-serving conduct: Alan Rothenberg, the president of the condo board. His leadership has been nothing short of a scandal, revealing a pattern of neglect, dishonesty, and blatant favoritism that continues to degrade the quality of life for residents.

The most glaring example of Rothenberg’s failure is the recent snow plowing debacle. Alan Rothenberg has two perfectly cleared guest parking spots right in front of his condo, while the rest of Estates ll is left with little to no guest parking spots. Is this a coincidence? Of course not. It’s a clear case of special treatment—an abuse of power that benefits him at the expense of the entire community. Meanwhile, residents are left to navigate streets piled high with snow, obstructing visibility and creating dangerous conditions. Why aren’t the maintenance personnel out every day, clearing the neighborhood? Why aren't the snow plows taking away the piled high snow and moving it to places in the condo where it won't be an obstruction? (Nightingale Ct. and Bluebird are two cul-de-sacs that have open dead space that can house the excess snow) The answer is simple: Rothenberg fired the maintenance staff, leaving residents to suffer the consequences of his reckless decision. Higher maintenance fees. Less maintenance. It’s a scandal. Alan Rothenberg’s decision to fire the entire maintenance team without cause was reckless and has jeopardized the condo’s stability. His impulsive actions show a lack of leadership and professionalism, putting personal whims above the community’s best interests. He is neither a capable leader nor an effective manager.

The state of the condo is a reflection of Rothenberg’s leadership—or lack thereof. Two weeks after a major snowstorm, the grounds are still a mess. The common areas are unkempt. What exactly are residents paying for? It’s painfully clear that this board president has no interest in maintaining the community he is supposed to serve. Instead, he reaps the rewards of his position, all the while neglecting the very responsibilities that come with it.

Rothenberg’s misconduct extends beyond maintenance issues. His favoritism is evident in how he treats the tennis courts, where he enforces draconian rules—no children allowed, because he apparently doesn’t want to see kids playing -The Residents Club put an end to those rules. He has been seen yelling at small children outside the clubhouse -during his first term on the board, frightening them and creating a hostile environment. His use of the landscaping company is similarly biased; since becoming president, the common area in front of Alan Rothenberg's condo has been transformed into an oasis.

Moreover, Rothenberg’s conduct as a leader is deeply troubling. He refuses to be transparent with residents, hiding condo information and blocking residents from attending board meetings. His recent budget meeting was a farce—he presented a bogus budget, allowed both treasurers to skip the meeting, and then failed to answer any serious questions from concerned residents. Residents were openly furious. Once resident stated “how can we have a budget meeting with no budget and both treasures are missing?”  This is not leadership; this is deception and avoidance designed to hide the truth.

Rothenberg’s dishonesty extends to his personal history. He lied during his campaign, claiming to support open board meetings, only to revert to secrecy once re-elected. Alan was the person who implemented closed board meetings during his first term on the board. Alan is anti-resident. Alan Rothenberg falsified his resume by omitting his second term as vice president of Estates II. He deceptively ran for a third term, disguising it as a second. These actions are indicative of a leader untrustworthy and unfit to serve.

For new residents of Estates II, it is imperative to understand who Alan Rothenberg truly is. His lack of transparency, favoritism, and dishonesty threaten the integrity of our community. We will continue to chronicle his actions to ensure everyone is informed, especially since he remains inaccessible and unwilling to face his responsibilities publicly.

The residents deserve a president who leads with integrity, accountability, and genuine concern for the community’s well-being—not one who uses his position for personal gain and shirks the hard work that leadership demands. It’s time for accountability. It’s time for change.

Concerns Over Selective Snow Plowing: Alan Rothenberg and the Board's Neglect of Estates II Residents

Who Did Cardinelli Sprinkler Sub Out the Snow Contract To? 

Once again, there has been a significant failure in snow removal at Estates II. The snow plows have left without clearing residents’ driveways, despite the contract explicitly stating that the vendor is responsible for keeping the entire condo, including driveways, free of snow. This contract does not limit their responsibilities to just plowing the roads; it requires them to ensure that residents’ driveways are cleared as well.

Currently, the only driveways that have been plowed are those belonging to President Alan Rothenberg and the residents on Aire Ct., where he and several board members reside. This selective approach is highly concerning, especially given that many residents—including elderly individuals and medical professionals—have explicitly requested priority for driveway clearance for safety and medical reasons. The sprinkler vendor, overwhelmed with multiple condominium complexes, has diverted their plow trucks elsewhere, leaving Estates II neglected and residents waiting in unsafe conditions. It is unacceptable that Alan Rothenberg and the board condone such substandard service, which compromises the safety and well-being of the entire community.

The decision to rely on the sprinkler vendor to handle snow removal has proven to be a mistake. They do not have the staff or equipment necessary for effective snow and ice management. Instead of hiring a dedicated snow removal contractor, the board assigned the task to Cardinelli Sprinklers. Today, only three men from Cardinelli were sent to clear the snow, which is grossly insufficient for the scope of the job.

Additionally, Cardinelli should have been dispatched yesterday to salt the roads and driveways before the blizzard hit, but that was not done. Despite paying top dollar for snow and ice management services, the quality and scope of work provided are far below expectations. This ongoing failure reflects poorly on the board’s decision-making and oversight.

Is President Alan Rothenberg Fostering Fair Management or Causing Harm?

The recent wave of terminations among the condo's maintenance staff has raised serious questions about the management and motives behind these actions. All three maintenance men—Henry, Ramone, and Pasquale—were dismissed after taking time away from their duties due to injuries or personal leave, highlighting a troubling pattern.

Henry was injured on the job, prompting the condo board to request residents’ contributions to his recovery fund. Despite his injury, Henry returned to work after recuperating but was fired just two weeks later. Ramone also sustained an injury while working and was dismissed while still in recovery. Pasquale, meanwhile, was fired for taking time off, without any indication of misconduct.

What is the condo president, Alan Rothenberg, doing amidst these dismissals? What is his end goal? The pattern suggests a possible attempt to eliminate staff who are temporarily unavailable or who have been injured, which raises concerns about the fairness and legality of such actions.

Furthermore, both Henry and Pasquale engaged in private work for residents, and both were reportedly told they may never set foot on the condo grounds again. This raises questions about the legality and enforceability of such bans, especially if residents wish to hire these workers for private projects at their own properties.

Given this pattern of dismissals and the restrictions being imposed, questions arise about Alan Rothenberg’s ability to effectively manage the condo without causing harm. Is his leadership fostering a fair, lawful, and supportive environment, or is it damaging the community and undermining trust? The situation warrants closer scrutiny to ensure that management practices align with legal standards and the best interests of residents and staff alike.

Crisis at Estates II: Is The Board Losing its Grip?

There is a troubling issue unfolding within Estates II: Alan Rothenberg, Cindi Davidowitz and the board of managers appears to be facing a fundamental problem in their management approach. Over the past two months, the entire maintenance staff has been fired—three skilled and well-liked workers who were highly valued by residents. One worker has been employed at Estates ll for over fourteen years. The question that arises is: what could three competent employees do within such a short timeframe to justify their sudden and collective termination?

Did these employees truly commit an offense serious enough to warrant termination, or could their actions have been addressed with a warning to allow the condo to continue operating smoothly? Is Alan Rothenberg a measured and responsible President, or does he act impulsively? Such impulsiveness is a detrimental trait for any organization and raises questions about the leadership guiding Estates II.

This abrupt upheaval leaves Estates II with no seasoned maintenance personnel—a critical gap, especially considering that only one very new employee remains, who will undoubtedly need guidance from experienced staff to learn the intricacies of the property’s operations. Estates II has specific needs that can only be properly addressed by someone with prior experience in similar roles. Without this knowledge, the maintenance department will fall into disarray, potentially compromising the quality of upkeep and resident satisfaction.

Despite these concerns, residents remain largely in the dark about the internal issues within the maintenance department. This lack of transparency obscures the reasons behind such a rapid turnover. What is clear is that three individuals—each equally dedicated and skilled—have been abruptly dismissed, risking their livelihoods in the process. The question that must be asked is: Are these firings morally justifiable? Given their contributions and the lack of transparency surrounding these decisions, it is essential to scrutinize whether such actions are ethical or represent a grave injustice.

However, it is very clear that Alan Rothenberg and the board of managers lack the finesse and expertise necessary for effective condominium management. Proper oversight, experience, and strategic decision-making are essential to maintaining the stability and quality of life within Estates II—and right now, those elements seem to be missing.

This situation at Estates II underscores a pressing need for more experienced leadership and transparent communication. Without these, the community risks further deterioration of its maintenance services and overall management stability.
