Strata Garbage leads to Jail Time

I sometimes wonder how to balance by-law or rule enforcement in strata schemes with common-sense as it’s very very hard to do.

On the one hand, it’s important to enforce by-law and rules so that the things that matter to owners lifestyles and the necessary compromises of strata living are supported by everyone rather than ignored.

But on the other hand it is difficult because it needs on the spot and constant attention, it requires owners, resident and executive support and the rules cannot always be applied strictly against every person in every situation.

Getting it right is, therefore, always a challenge and we can get it more right or wrong every time.

But, what I do know is that Ronald Castellano in Florida went too far when after a dispute about his neighbour putting his garbage bin out too early he threatened to grab his gun and show them "who's boss".
