DENVER – The Stapleton HOA that blocked a homeowner from installing a radon mitigation system is now coming under fire.

“I actually was trying to be the good guy, and I’m just in shock,” said Melissa Crowder, a Stapleton homeowner, who isn’t the only one in shock about the decision her Homeowners Association made to deny the installation of a radon mitigation system.

“Ultimately, it should have been approved,” said David Firmin, a spokesman with the Community Associations Institute and attorney who specializes in HOA law. “We highly recommend that the association do everything possible to accommodate these type of requests.”
