DELRAY BEACH, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2025) — Chateau Wood Homeowners Association, Inc. has filed a civil lawsuit against homeowner Mark S. Allen, his unknown spouse, and the Green Corridor Property Assessment Clean Energy District, alleging unpaid assessments and seeking to foreclose on a claim of lien tied to Allen’s property in Palm Beach County.
The case, Chateau Wood Homeowners Association, Inc. v. Mark S. Allen, et al., Case No. 502025CA012412XXXAMB, was filed on November 27, 2025 in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court in and for Palm Beach County. The lawsuit was submitted electronically to the clerk at 1:15 a.m., according to the court’s filing stamp.
The association, represented by Ryan M. Aboud, Esq. of Ryan M. Aboud, P.A., alleges that Allen failed to pay required homeowners’ association assessments, leading to the recording of a lien and the initiation of foreclosure proceedings. The complaint states that Chateau Wood is a Florida not-for-profit corporation operating under Chapter 720 of the Florida Statutes. It further notes that Allen is a fee simple owner of the property identified in the lien and is a member of the association.
According to the filing, the association is authorized to levy assessments for common expenses and alleges that Allen did not pay those assessments as they became due. A claim of lien was recorded in Palm Beach County’s public records, attached to the lawsuit as Exhibit A. The lien lists assessments, attorney fees, late charges, and costs totaling $3,030.64 outstanding as of August 12, 2025, according to the notarized documentation included in the exhibit.
The property subject to the lien is described as Lot D, Block 23, Le Village De Provence Plat II, recorded in Plat Book 60, Pages 65 and 66, of the Palm Beach County public records. The lien document identifies Allen as the current owner.
The lawsuit asserts that the association’s claim of lien “secures all unpaid assessments that are due and that may accrue subsequent to the recording of the claim of lien and before entry of a certificate of title,” including interest, late charges, attorney fees, and collection costs. It also states that the lien is superior to any interest claimed by the Green Corridor Property Assessment Clean Energy District, which holds two previously recorded liens dated October 11 and October 25, 2019.
The complaint includes two counts.
Count One seeks foreclosure of the lien pursuant to section 720.3085 of the Florida Statutes. The association asks the court to determine the amounts owed, declare the lien valid and superior to other interests, authorize the sale of the property by the Clerk of Court, and enter a deficiency judgment if the sale does not cover the full balance.
Count Two seeks a monetary judgment for unpaid assessments, interest, late fees, costs, and attorney fees. The association states it is entitled to collect these amounts independently of the foreclosure action.
The complaint also notes that all conditions precedent to filing suit have been met.
Attorney Ryan M. Aboud signed the filing on November 25, 2025, with contact information listing his Boca Raton office at 980 N. Federal Highway, Suite 110.
