My experiences with a condo boards probably aligns with many others here and it has not been positive.  The typical condo board member is a nosy know it all that seems to go out of their way to be petty.
I received fines for having dog poop in my section of the common grounds even though i didn't own a dog. eventually that was cleared up but not without some fighting of the fine. I was told my blinds were too beige after i had bought them and installed them.  although my neighbors didn't have the same issue with even darker window dressings.  I was fined for not shoveling my driveway fast enough when i was out of town on vacation....the list goes on and on.

Like politics, "boards" of any sort seems to bring out the worst of human nature and childish behavior.
