ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A St. Petersburg home was found engulfed in flames on Saturday afternoon.
According to St. Petersburg Fire Rescue, the single-family home located in the 800 block of 40th Ave South caught fire around 4:30 p.m.
Crews found the home taken over by the blaze, including the attic.
There were no injuries reported as a result of the fire and all occupants were able to make it out before crews arrived.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
