Attorney Justin Buchel of Schneider-Buchel who stated at the homeowner's meeting -why was he even there when 2 board members are attorneys- that most off the information on the Residents Club website is not True, was caught over billing Estates ll in the tune of $10,000.
Over billing by a law firm represents a grave ethical breach. It erodes client trust and can lead to severe legal and disciplinary actions against the firm. Such misconduct not only damages the firm's reputation but also highlights the critical need for strict adherence to ethical billing standards.
TRUE or FALSE
True or False: In the last election, the board used an outdated voter log and doctored the first page to make it look like a current 2024 voter log. The decision to utilize a 2021 voter log, which had not been updated to reflect all current homeowners in Estates II, appears a deliberate attempt to undermine the integrity of the voting process. During the counting process, Cindy Davidowitz stood guard outside the closed door of the manager's office; a resident asked Cindy if they could watch the vote count and was told "No."

True or False: All long-standing traditions at Estates II—like open board meetings, sharing full board minutes, easy access to condo info., resident phone directory, meetings that did not require the attendance & expense of outside counsel and the formation of committees—ALL ended six years ago. And on election night the votes were counted out in the public. Sunlight has been replaced with darkness.
Alan Rothenberg President and Cindy Davidowitz V.P.
ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CREATION OF THE RESIDENTS CLUB WEB SITE.
Alan and Cindy started it all when they denied residents access to board meetings they were accustomed to attending, while simultaneously refusing to allow residents to review the minutes from those meetings—documents they traditionally received in their mailboxes each month. They are responsible for dismantling the landscaping committee, security committee, future planning committee and other committees that encouraged resident involvement in Estates II. Additionally, they demand that board members keep information secret from residents (Code of Conduct). As a result of all this, the Residents Club was created. It was a lot more fun in Estates ll before Alan and Cindy.

OCTOBER 2023 ADA BATHROOM WAS REMOVED FROM THE CONFIDENTIALMarch 2023 RENOVATION SCOPE & BUDGET
ADA BATHROOM: MORE LIES
The yellow paper below was distributed to residents during the clubhouse renovation meeting in October 2023. It states that the only cost for the bathroom is $250 for toilet seat covers. In contrast, the confidential paper for board use indicates that in March 2023, the board allocated $48,000 for an ADA-compliant bathroom. It looks like the board cut the ADA bathroom out of the budget so they could spend an obscene amount on fees & commissions for their vanity project. It appears the board neglected their responsibility to provide a safe, ADA-compliant public space in favor of creating a lavish, country club-style clubhouse.
The board later blamed the building inspector for insisting that the bathroom be made ADA compliant, using this as a reason to assess the residents and delay the public opening. In reality, the board was aware that the bathroom should have been modified to meet ADA standards, as reflected in the original scope and budget in March 2023.

AUGUST 28, 2025 Bluebird Hill Dr.
True or False: For the first time in Estates II history, a port-a-potty has been placed on the property of a home under renovation. Over the years, many residents have renovated their homes without resorting to such an eyesore, demonstrating a standard of decency and respect for the neighborhood. What makes this situation even more unacceptable is that the port-a-potty belongs to board member and builder Stephen Fanuka. How is this permissible? This unsightly structure should be hidden from view, as it reflects poorly on the resident responsible. Subjecting neighbors to such a low-class sight is unacceptable.
It is believed that this property will serve as the new residence of board member Fanuka, who was able to acquire it after the previous owner passed away, before anyone else was aware of its availability. Could his position on the board have provided him with privileged information that the rest of the community was not privy to?
