A cooperative opens on the Intracoastal
Golden Bay Towers — twin six-story towers, 89 units, private boat docks, architect Harold Wiecer. Sixty years later it is still self-managed: a volunteer board, no management company.
We run a 1962 waterfront cooperative on this software every day. The ledger, the minute book, the compliance calendar, and the resident asking about guest parking at eleven at night — one record, and every answer names the document it came from.

See the live property websiteMost of what goes wrong in a self-managed building is not a missing feature. It is two people holding two versions of the same rule, and no way to settle which one governs.
Ask about guest parking and you get the rule, the document it lives in, and the date that document was last revised. Ask something the approved record does not cover and the concierge says so rather than producing something plausible.
A file sits in the library until somebody with authority marks it approved for the concierge and sets who may see it. Uploading a document does not make it answerable.
Bank feeds, receivables, payables, budgets, and reserves post to one general ledger with protected control accounts. Nobody adjusts accounts receivable by typing into the ledger.
A resident, a treasurer, and a managing agent open the same building and see three different buildings. Every view is scoped to the property and the role, and every action leaves a timestamped trail.
Ask about approved property documents, policies, and facts. Each supported answer identifies its source and follows the audience permissions set by the property.
The packet, the motion, the vote, and the assignment that came out of it stay attached to each other. When an owner asks why the roof contract went where it went, you can show them rather than remember.
Explore GovernanceRequests arrive with a unit number attached instead of in four inboxes. Every document has a version, an audience, and a person who approved it. The routine questions stop reaching you at all.
Explore ManagementAsk the question at eleven at night and get the house rule, not a voicemail. Report a leak, see who picked it up, and stop wondering whether the message went anywhere.
Explore Experience
Eighty-nine units, opened in 1962, on a private drive off the A1A extension where the Intracoastal curves past Golden Beach. It was the first property to run the whole platform and it is still the one that finds the problems first, because the people who file the complaints are the people who live here.
A co-op board handed a condominium manual is being quietly misinformed about elections, records, and share transfers. We keep them separate because the statutes are.
Chapter 718: milestone inspections, structural integrity reserve studies, and the reserve funding rules that came with them.
Chapter 719: share transfers, proprietary leases, and an approval process a condominium never has to run. This is the one we live in.
Chapter 720: covenants, architectural review, and the assessment and fining procedures that get challenged most often.
A front-desk system is not a general ledger. Here is the scope comparison, side by side, with no invented pricing.
Florida's structural inspection deadline is rolling — a new group of buildings comes due every December 31. Enter your building's facts and get the date, the rule that sets it, and what happens next. No email required to see your answer.
Software companies usually find a market and then learn the domain. This went the other way round, and the sequence is checkable.

Golden Bay Towers — twin six-story towers, 89 units, private boat docks, architect Harold Wiecer. Sixty years later it is still self-managed: a volunteer board, no management company.
Then
Anthony Clemenza, who founded this company, presides over that board today. He inherited what most self-managed boards inherit — a filing cabinet, a shared inbox, and a spreadsheet only one person understands.

Now
LRI Connect runs the association the handbook describes. The building, the book, and the platform are the same story — which is not a claim any other vendor in this category can make.
Bring the declaration or proprietary lease, the bylaws, the house rules, and the last three sets of minutes. We tell you what is missing before you have signed anything.
Chart of accounts, opening balances and historical ledger, bank connections, the owner roster, the document library with its approvals, and a compliance calendar dated to your building’s real milestone and reserve-study deadlines.
We train the board and whoever keeps the books, then hand across the keys. You are self-managed. The point is that you stay that way without us in the room.
Two associations of the same size do not have the same chart of accounts, the same approval thresholds, or the same fiscal year. We set it up from what your governing documents actually say, and show you where they are silent.
