A documented pattern of financial mismanagement, ignored safety hazards, and refusal to cooperate with Pennsylvania state authorities has affected our entire community. It is time to act together.
These are not opinions or rumors. Every item below is supported by official court records, HOA financial statements, state agency correspondence, and documented communications.
HOA fees increased from $95 to $130/month — a 37% rise in three years, nearly double the rate of inflation over the same period. For comparison, another Collegeville community with a swimming pool charges only $150/month and maintains excellent roads. West Birchwood has no pool. No meaningful new amenities. No explanation for where this money is going.
350+ days of systematic refusal to provide homeowner records, in direct violation of Pennsylvania law (68 Pa.C.S. § 5313), which gives every homeowner the right to inspect HOA financial records. Requests were stonewalled, delayed, and ignored.
820% understatement of snow removal costs in official HOA budget documents. A $22,200 Special Assessment was collected from homeowners despite $61,502 already sitting in reserves. The math does not add up — and we were never given an explanation.
A homeowner's bank account was wrongfully frozen for $7,800 — a bank levy later reversed as improper. This action was taken by HOA attorney Glenn M. Ross (PA Bar #44537) despite the homeowner's documented good-faith compliance and payment history.
Children were injured on community property due to a known, unaddressed hazard. The HOA Board admitted in writing they were "very aware" of the dangerous condition — and took no corrective action for over six months. Medical records from CHOP document the injuries.
Vendor contracts appear significantly inflated. The actual lawn care contractor servicing our community quoted $30,000 per year for the work — yet the official HOA budget lists the same annual service at $50,000. That is a $20,000 annual discrepancy on a single contract. Combined with similar irregularities in snow removal and trash collection billing, this raises serious questions about where homeowner money is actually going — and who is benefiting from the difference every single year.
A 17-month complete non-response to certified mail from a homeowner — a deliberate pattern of ignoring residents who raise legitimate concerns.
In early 2026, a formal complaint was filed with the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection documenting these violations. The AG's office contacted Reese Management Company to begin voluntary mediation.
Reese Management refused to cooperate with the Pennsylvania Attorney General.
"A person with nothing to hide has no problem answering questions from a state authority. Their refusal to engage speaks for itself."The Pennsylvania AG officially closed the case in April 2026 — not because there was no merit, but because Reese Management reached an "impasse" with investigators. The AG's office formally recommended pursuing this matter through private legal action.
That recommendation is exactly what we are doing.
Fighting a management company and their attorney alone is an uphill battle. Fighting them as a unified community is a different matter entirely. Here is what collective action makes possible:
A class action against Reese Management and Glenn M. Ross for violations of the Pennsylvania Uniform Planned Community Act (UPCA). More plaintiffs means stronger standing.
A joint complaint to the PA Attorney General and PA Bar Association signed by multiple homeowners carries significantly more weight than any individual filing.
Under Pennsylvania law, if we prevail, Reese Management and their attorney may be required to pay our legal costs. Justice should not require personal financial sacrifice.
The ultimate goal: remove Reese Management and restore proper, transparent, accountable community governance — for all 111 households.
We are preparing a formal complaint to the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office and the PA Attorney General's Criminal Law Division documenting a pattern of potential financial fraud — misrepresented budgets, improper assessments, and wrongful bank levies. These are not accounting errors. This is a pattern.
Notice of Criminal Referral
This is no longer just a civil matter. Financial discrepancies of this scale — misrepresented budgets, improper special assessments collected despite existing reserves, and wrongful bank levies — may constitute criminal fraud under Pennsylvania law. We are bringing this to the attention of the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office and the PA Attorney General's Criminal Law Division. Every homeowner who signs below becomes part of that record.
You do not need to have experienced every issue listed above. If you have ever been denied records, received unexplained fee increases, or felt your concerns were ignored — your voice matters here.
All information is kept strictly confidential and used solely for the purpose of organizing collective legal action.
We will be in touch as collective legal action moves forward. Together, we are stronger.
