"A frustrated London homeowner made a post on a popular anti-HOA subreddit that has gained hundreds of upvotes for the absurd action taken by their HOA. The post has ignited debate in the comment section around constant HOA overreach after OP revealed that their HOA installed massive digital advertising billboards inside their residential building. According to OP, the HOA allowed a third-party advertising company called "30 Seconds" to install more than six-foot-tall digital screens in the building's lobby."
"The screens show ads, notices, and weather updates. But the worst part about it all: OP found that these screens are outfitted with cameras that record residents as they come and go without their consent. "I wasn't consulted on this," OP explained in their long, detailed Reddit post. "All the residents hate them, and RMG won't even tell me the costs.""
An HOA installed multiple more-than-six-foot digital advertising screens with cameras in a residential building lobby without resident consultation. Residents report that the screens display ads, notices, and weather updates while also recording people entering and exiting without consent. Residents are paying installation and operating costs while a third-party advertising company receives the ad revenue. Reported ads included alcohol, gambling, and a failed NFT project. The installation prompted criticism about HOA overreach and raised related concerns about restrictions on homeowner improvements like solar panels and native landscaping, and about protecting homeowner rights under HOA bylaws.
