Date: Nov 20, 2025 Category: Association Governance / Community Trust Summary: A healthy community requires open dialogue. Recently, however, the primary online forum for Radius at Whisman Station HOA residents in Mountain View CA has been compromised. Alvin Lin , the Admin of the community Facebook group—who also serves professionally as a Vice President of Commercial Strategy for a publicly traded biotech company —has engaged in a pattern of censorship, unsubstantiated accusations of corruption, and documented election interference efforts. This post details the documentary evidence of a campaign driven not by community good, but by a personal vendetta that falls far short of the ethical standards expected of a senior corporate leader. 1. The Accusation of Corruption ("Enrichment") The most serious and damaging accusation made by Group Admin Alvin Lin is that the current Board has committed a crime. The Accusation: In a written public comment, Alvin Lin explicitly sta...

Date: Nov 18, 2025 Category: Association Governance / Fiduciary Duty Summary A fundamental requirement of serving on an HOA Board is the duty to review Association business materials to make informed decisions. During the Open Board Meeting for the Radius at Whisman Station HOA in Mountain View CA on November 10, 2025, it was revealed that the Board Treasurer, Patrick Szeto, was unaware of the details and costs of a major landscaping proposal—despite the fact that the information had been provided to the Board nearly five months prior.

 Date: Dec 31 2024 Category: Association Governance / Financial Transparency Summary To comply with new federal regulations, the Radius at Whisman Station HOA Board in Mountain View CA was required to submit specific documentation by October 31, 2024, to secure a discounted administrative rate. While the majority of the Board complied well in advance, Director Patrick Szeto failed to meet the deadline. Despite a subsequent opportunity on November 1 to rectify the delay and potentially save the Association money, the required action was not taken, resulting in unnecessary additional costs to the HOA. The Federal Requirement: Corporate Transparency Act In September 2024, the HOA management company notified the Board of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) , a federal law requiring Homeowners Associations to report "beneficial ownership" information to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Compliance is mandatory, and non-compliance carries significant civil and criminal penal...

Date:  Dec 31,  2023  Category:  Association Governance / Financial Transparency Summary  Effective HOA governance relies on the timely payment of vendors who maintain our community.  In late 2023,  a significant lapse in financial administration occurred when Radius at Whisman Station HOA in Mountain View CA Board Treasurer  Patrick Szeto  failed to release payments for essential services for over 100 days.  This inaction persisted despite explicit warnings from vendors regarding interest charges and confirmation from management that such delays were a recurring issue causing the Association to incur late fees.  Consequently,  the management company was forced to intervene by revoking Director Patrick Szeto’s invoice-approving authority. The Fiduciary Duty of the Treasurer  Under the Davis-Stirling Act and our governing documents,  Board officers—particularly the Treasurer—have a fiduciary duty to act with the care o...

Date: Dec 31, 2021  Category: Association Governance / Fairness & Equity Summary Fair governance requires that rules apply equally to all residents. A review of Association records reveals instances where specific landscape improvements —introducing plant species not native to the community's original design—were executed via internal Work Orders paid for by the HOA. This bypassed the process and fees that are strictly enforced against other homeowners, raising serious questions about selective enforcement by Radius at Whisman Station HOA in Mountain View CA Board Treasurer Patrick Szeto . The Governing Rules: Maintenance vs. Improvement Our CC&Rs and Information Handbook establish a clear distinction between "maintenance" (replacing items like-for-like) and "improvement" (changing the landscaping design of the Association Maintenance Area). The Standard: Any change to the landscaping plan in the "Association Maintenance Area," requires ...
