ESJ Owners' Restoration Project

The ESJ Owners' Restoration Project was established to provide deeded ESJ owners with reliable information regarding the legal issues currently affecting ESJ Towers and to evaluate potential legal options as additional facts develop.

The information on this page is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Because the legal proceedings involving ESJ Towers continue to evolve, this page will be updated periodically as additional information becomes available.

Who is Erika D. Rodriguez, and why are you involved with ESJ Towers?

I am a Florida attorney and the founder of Rodriguez Law & Advocacy, P.A. In April 2026, I was retained by several deeded ESJ owners to investigate legal issues affecting their ownership interests.Since then, my office has reviewed governing documents, publicly available bankruptcy filings, court records, ownership information, and other available materials to better understand the legal issues affecting deeded owners. I have also worked with Puerto Rico attorneys, colleagues, and local resources as part of that effort.As the investigation progressed, it became clear that many owners were asking the same questions but lacked an independent source of information regarding their rights and the issues affecting ESJ Towers. The ESJ Owners' Restoration Project was established to provide owners with reliable information, facilitate communication, and evaluate potential legal options as additional facts develop.

What is the ESJ Owners' Restoration Project?

The ESJ Owners' Restoration Project is an independent legal initiative created to help deeded ESJ owners better understand the legal proceedings affecting ESJ Towers and evaluate potential legal options that may become available.The project also serves as a central point of communication for owners who wish to stay informed, share information, request a consultation, or explore whether coordinated legal representation may become appropriate.Participation in the project does not require owners to retain our law firm, nor does completing the Owner Interest & Representation Form create an attorney-client relationship. Owners may simply choose to receive updates while determining whether further involvement is appropriate.

Are you representing ESJ Towers, the Board of Directors, or the bankruptcy estate?

No.My office does not represent ESJ Towers, the Board of Directors, the bankruptcy estate, or any party currently administering ESJ Towers.The ESJ Owners' Restoration Project is an independent initiative established on behalf of deeded owners who have requested that I investigate the legal issues affecting their ownership interests. My responsibility is to the clients who retain my office and, if appropriate, to other owners who later choose to engage my firm.

Why did this project begin?

Many owners were asking the same questions:

●      Who currently controls ESJ Towers?

●      How does the bankruptcy affect deeded ownership?

●      What happens to owner voting rights?

●      How are assessments being used?

●      What legal options may be available to deeded owners? Rather than answering these questions one owner at a time, the ESJ Owners’ Restoration Project was established to provide owners with a centralized source of reliable information while legal issues and potential options continue to be evaluated.

Why are you asking owners to complete the Owner Interest & Representation Form?

The form allows our office to verify ownership information, better understand the concerns of deeded owners, communicate directly regarding important developments, evaluate the level of owner participation, and determine whether coordinated legal action may become appropriate.Completing the form is the single most helpful step an owner can take right now. Completing the Owner Interest & Representation Form is the single most important step you can take to stay informed and participate in this initiative.

What legal options are currently being evaluated?

No final decisions have been made regarding any particular legal strategy. Among the issues currently being evaluated are owner participation in the bankruptcy proceedings, condominium governance, owner representation, voting rights, and any other legal remedies that may become appropriate as additional facts develop.

What is the current status of the bankruptcy?

The bankruptcy proceedings remain ongoing. Our office continues to monitor publicly filed pleadings, review developments affecting deeded owners, and evaluate how those proceedings may impact ownership interests. Owners participating in this initiative will receive updates as significant developments occur.

Should I continue paying assessments?

Every owner's circumstances are different.For that reason, we cannot provide generalized legal advice regarding whether any particular owner should continue paying assessments. Owners seeking advice regarding their own circumstances should schedule an ESJ Owner Consultation.

What happens if enough owners participate?

The level of owner participation will help determine what legal avenues are practical and appropriate.If sufficient owner participation develops, coordinated legal representation may become appropriate to pursue one or more available legal remedies. Any decision regarding litigation or representation will be made only after further legal evaluation and consultation with participating owners.

What happens after I complete the Owner Interest & Representation Form?

●      Your ownership information will be reviewed.

●      You will receive future updates regarding the initiative.

●      If you request a consultation, our office will contact you.

●      You may also be asked to provide additional documents relevant to your ownership.

Why is this initiative happening now?

Legal proceedings affecting ESJ Towers continue to move forward.As those proceedings progress, decisions may be made that affect deeded owners and their property interests. Owners who wish to remain informed and participate in evaluating available legal options should join sooner rather than later so they receive future communications and updates.
