On October 24, a court denied a motion by CAI (Community Associations Institute) to delay compliance deadlines for community associations facing burdensome requirements under a new act until a full court hearing.

Community associations remain required to file their Beneficial Ownership Information Reports by January 1, 2025 or face potentially hefty fines.

Despite the setback, CAI remains committed to seeking an exemption for all community associations through possible appeals, regulatory lobbying with the U.S. Department of Treasury, and urging Congress to pass legislation to exempt or delay these requirements. CAI also encourages its members to support this cause, though significant developments are unlikely before the upcoming presidential election.

As Chicago residents gear up for winter, the latest forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) suggests that snow shovels and boots might be more necessary than ever. With the 2024-2025 winter outlook predicting a "wetter than normal" season for the Great Lakes region, now is the time for condominium and homeowner associations to ensure their snow removal services are in place.

NOAA has indicated that a slowly developing La Niña event in the Pacific Ocean will play a key role in shaping Chicago’s winter weather this year. Typically, La Niña patterns bring cooler temperatures and increased precipitation to the Midwest, which means the Chicago area could see heavier snowfall as winter progresses. While there’s still uncertainty about whether the moisture will fall as rain or snow, the odds for significant winter storms are rising.

So, what does this mean for your condominium association? If you don’t yet have snow removal services in place, now is the perfect time to act. Waiting until the first storm hits could lead to delays or a scramble for available vendors.

That’s where Condoly comes in. As a marketplace designed specifically for condominium and homeowner associations, Condoly makes it simple to connect with reliable snow removal companies. Condoly allows you to quickly and easily gather bids to find the right vendor to keep your property and your residents safe throughout the season.

With snowstorms potentially just around the corner, don’t wait until it’s too late. Head to Condoly today and line up a snow removal service to ensure your property is ready for whatever winter throws your way.
