Join us on August 29th at the Irvine Marriott for our CAI-OC Symposium & Expo and check out this session on “Landslide and Earthquake Risk”

Landslides and slope failures seem to be a common occurrence these days. The recent events of Rancho PV landslides and the Surfside collapse in Florida have raised concerns about the structural stability of existing residential buildings and land. Dr. Khatri, PhD, SE has worked with Association clients for several decades and is a Structural Engineer with experience in all aspects of building design and construction. Dr. Khatri will present recent examples of structural investigations and practical solutions for repair and renovation. Attorney David Wankel will explain the Association’s duties and responsibilities, and Insurance Expert Michael Berg will help figure out how to pay for the mess that landslides and slope failures make.

We hope to see you there!

Join us on August 29th at the Irvine Marriott for our CAI-OC Symposium & Expo and check out this session on “The Power of Preventative Maintenance: Navigating Changing Lending Insurance & Reserve Requirements.”

In this presentation, we address the evolving landscape of lending, insurance, and reserve study requirements impacting HOAs. We emphasize the crucial role of preventive maintenance in mitigating rising premiums and ensuring adequate coverage. By implementing preventive maintenance strategies, HOA boards can extend component lifespans thus reducing reserves, demonstrate active community upkeep to insurers, preserve eligibility for mortgage loans from lenders. Our focus is on offering practical strategies for HOAs to adapt to these changes while boosting property values.

We hope to see you there!
