Frequently Asked Questions

General information about the independent ESJ Owners’ Restoration Project, the owner fact-finding now underway, and recent developments affecting ESJ Towers.

What is the ESJ Owners’ Restoration Project?

It is an independent owner-focused legal initiative gathering information about governance, voting, financial transparency, property conditions, amenities, ownership rights, and other concerns reported by ESJ owners. It is not operated by ESJ Towers, its Board, the bankruptcy estate, Fortaleza ESJ, LLC, or the parties administering the property.

Does this matter if my unit is not listed in the bankruptcy documents?

Yes. The bankruptcy documents are only one source of information. Questions about governance, voting, financial records, repairs, the pool, amenities, maintenance charges, and owner benefits may matter regardless of whether a particular unit or interval appears on an exhibit. Inclusion or exclusion from an exhibit does not, by itself, determine whether an owner has an individual legal claim.

What information is the Project gathering?

The Project wants to understand what owners want, why it matters to them, their experience with voting and governance, whether they have received the units, amenities, and benefits they expected, what they have paid, and what property conditions they have observed. The Project is also gathering deeds, interval information, Registry records, and bankruptcy documents needed to evaluate how particular units or ownership interests may be affected.

What concerns have owners reported?

Owners have raised concerns involving the pool, deferred repairs, unavailable or substituted units, mold or water intrusion, maintenance charges, voting, notice, access to records, and confidence in property administration. The Project is fact-checking and comparing these reports; their appearance here does not mean that every report has been independently verified.

Why consider a coordinated owner group?

Owners may share overlapping factual and legal questions. A coordinated group can compare information, identify recurring concerns, evaluate common issues efficiently, and determine whether collective representation would be more practical than separate individual efforts.

What happened in the bankruptcy proceeding?

On July 15, 2026, the Bankruptcy Court entered a supplementary order directing the Puerto Rico Property Registrar to record 1,255 intervals identified in the order in favor of Fortaleza ESJ, LLC. The Clerk issued the corresponding writ on July 23. The court describes the identified interests as “deeded and unsold intervals” owned by ESJ Towers.

Does the order mean that my privately owned unit or interval is being transferred?

Not necessarily. The filed documents do not determine, owner by owner, the status of every privately claimed interest. Any potential effect on a particular owner must be evaluated using that owner’s deed or agreement, interval information, Registry records, the court documents, and the owner’s individual circumstances.

What documents should I locate?

If available, locate your deed or ownership agreement, Registry certification, unit and interval or week information, maintenance or assessment records, voting or assembly notices, correspondence about repairs or amenities, photographs, and communications concerning unavailable or substituted units. Do not send original documents.

Should I continue paying assessments or maintenance charges?

Every owner’s circumstances are different, so the Project cannot give generalized advice about whether a particular owner should pay, withhold, or dispute a charge. Owners seeking advice about their individual circumstances should request a consultation.

How can I participate?

Complete the Owner Interest Form and describe what you have experienced and what outcome you want. There is no cost or obligation to provide information. Submitting the form does not create an attorney-client relationship; any representation requires a written engagement agreement.
