可以告 HOA 的 manager 吗？

有个HOA的manager，不知道为什么就跟我们过不去，或者是因为我说过她的一个照片不对，或者因为我们是中国人，或者因为我是出租房，或者房客跟她过不去，不知道，反正她利用手中的权利，频频给我和房客发罚款单。 一些罚款单是无中生有，一些是明显错误，故意找茬，当然，一些是真的。但是，我发现她特别的关照我的房子，几乎每两个星期就去巡视一下，看看能不能罚款。

这个星期很不容易申请到一个hearing at board meeting 的机会。我准备了一下，大意就是把什么的意思写下来，告诉Board of directors, 大伙认为她会疯狂反扑吗？以后更加给我找茬？

我这次申诉有赢的胜算吗？

下面是我申诉信的片段：

However, things are getting worse after I mentioned to HOA manager(Meredith) that a picture on April 1. violation letter was wrong, because that picture didn’t belong to my house. Since that day,  the more I called Meredith to get clarification or explain the situation, the more violations are coming. There are 9 violations during the last 4 months, Since April 21, we have received $450 fines from HOA, that is outrage!!! Please take a look at the pictures I took, it is beautiful on the front yard, We need to understand why we received so many violations with such high fine.

Further, we would like to know why suddenly there is a big jump of the violations and fine after I mentioned the picture was wrong. And if a picture was wrong, how can we believe that those violations without picture are correct?

How can the same tenants be fined for $450 in the last 4 months but “0” fine in the first 9 months? What was the change then? Only the HOA manager has been changed, and I mentioned to Meredith that a picture was wrong. Considering that the situation in front yard is getting better, is this a revenge?

......

As a summary, there is only one notice with picture that is correct, but the tenants were in the middle of moving stuff to the container!  All other violations are either with wrong pictures(the weeds), missing pictures, or picture with wrong explanation(the debris in front porch)!

Given above situation & behavior pattern,  it seems that my house is under Meredith's special focus and attention. I know that HOA and Meredith have the power, but can you treat all houses in an equal and fair manner?

Another thing I need to mention is, I have been requesting a second review with the board of director,   But Meredith said no more review, and said she had talked to all directors, and majority said they have heard what I wanted to say, so no more review. I can’t comment if Meredith had really talked to all of you about my intention of a 2^nd review?  Until I registered into HOA website, and found out all BOD’s names, then Meredith said that BOD can hear my voice one more time, why is there a change after I registered and after I got BOD’s name from the HOA website?

When I asked for email or phone number of BOD, Meredith also said all communications with BOD should be through her because she is hired by BOD, is that true?
