For starters, paint should NEVER be applied when the temp is going to drop below 50 degrees while it is curing. It alters the curing process and the paint does not adhere as it should, leading to more work for "tim" in a year or two. I would advise the members of the association to either take them to small claims court to stop the orders, complete with pictures and job estimates from painters stating that the homes do not need painting, or gather all the evidence and go AS A GROUP to the local authorities, again, complete with pictures and job estimates from other painters.

As for the association hiring the president to do maintenance work for the association (essentially hiring himself) this would CLEARLY be against ethics laws, and would probably be a prosecutable offense.
