Remote HOA Management in Massachusetts
Serving Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Cambridge
APM delivers professional HOA and condo management to Massachusetts boards entirely online — software, financials, and board support for communities in Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Cambridge, and beyond.
HOA and condominium boards in Massachusetts — whether in Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Cambridge or smaller communities across the state — face the same core challenges: keeping financials accurate and transparent, enforcing community standards consistently, managing vendors accountably, and running compliant board meetings. Remote management through APM means your board gets professional support for all of these functions without the cost and overhead of a traditional local management company.
APM's remote management platform, HOA Alchemy, is the operating layer of your community. Board members get a live dashboard showing bank balances, reserve fund status, open violations, vendor work orders, and meeting history — updated in real time. Homeowners pay dues online, submit requests through the portal, and receive notices digitally. The whole community runs more efficiently, and your board spends less time on administrative overhead.
Massachusetts community associations are governed by Massachusetts Condominium Act (M.G.L. c. 183A) and Master Deed framework. Compliance with state law matters — incorrect election procedures, missing annual disclosures, or improperly documented enforcement actions expose boards to homeowner challenges and legal liability. APM's remote management team provides compliance guidance and documentation support to keep your Massachusetts association running correctly, even without an in-state office.
Massachusetts HOA & Condo Law Changes 2021–2025
Massachusetts has passed significant HOA and condominium law updates in recent legislative sessions. Here is a bill-by-bill summary of what changed — and what your board must do to stay compliant.
2021 Legislative Session
Amended M.G.L. c. 183A to permanently authorize Massachusetts condominium associations to conduct board meetings and trustee elections by electronic means, including video conference and telephone conference. Remote participation counts toward quorum. Electronic voting for owner votes is authorized with adoption of a written policy complying with M.G.L. c. 183A § 10.
Enacted M.G.L. c. 183A § 19A, prohibiting Massachusetts condominium associations from unreasonably restricting the installation of EV charging equipment in a unit owner's assigned parking space. Associations may require compliance with applicable electrical codes, licensed installation, and owner-maintained liability insurance for the charging equipment.
2022 Legislative Session
In response to the 2021 Surfside Condominium collapse, Massachusetts enacted requirements for structural integrity inspections of condominium buildings over 5 stories or over 40 years old. Inspections must be conducted by a licensed structural engineer. A first inspection was required within 5 years of the act's effective date, with reinspection every 5 years thereafter. Findings must be disclosed to all unit owners.
Amended M.G.L. c. 183A to require all Massachusetts condominium associations with more than 10 units to conduct a reserve study within 3 years of the act's effective date and update the study every 5 years. The study must be performed by a qualified reserve analyst or engineer. Annual budget disclosures must identify reserve fund status relative to the study recommendations.
2024 Legislative Session
Expanded Massachusetts' solar energy rights to apply expressly to condominium associations, prohibiting restrictions on rooftop solar installation on limited common elements assigned to individual units. Community solar arrangements on common elements — with net metering credits allocated pro rata to unit owners — are now expressly authorized under M.G.L. c. 183A.
Extended Massachusetts' accessory dwelling unit (ADU) rights legislation to apply to condominiums and planned communities. Associations may not prohibit an owner from constructing an ADU within a unit or on a unit's exclusive use area where permitted by local zoning, provided the owner obtains board review and applicable building permits.
