BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — A Boca Raton condominium association has filed a civil lawsuit in Palm Beach County Circuit Court seeking to foreclose what it says is a recorded lien for unpaid assessments tied to a unit at Mansfield at Century Village.
The complaint, filed Jan. 20, 2026, is captioned Mansfield at Century Village Condominium Association, Inc. v. Norman Resnick, Geraldine Resnick, Unknown Tenant in Possession #1, Unknown Tenant in Possession #2, Case No. 502026CA000648XXXAMB, in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida. The association is represented by Wasserstein, P.A., according to the filing. No defense counsel is listed in the complaint.
In the lawsuit, the association alleges it is seeking to foreclose a claim of lien against real property in Palm Beach County and also seeks damages. The property identified in the complaint is Unit 436 of Mansfield at Century Village Condominium, with a listed street address of 436 Mansfield K, Boca Raton, Florida 33434. The association alleges the unit is owned by Norman Resnick and Geraldine Resnick.
According to the complaint, the association says it adopted a budget that created periodic maintenance assessments and may also include special assessments under its governing documents. The filing further alleges the governing documents allow the association to charge late fees and interest on delinquent installments.
The association alleges the owners failed to timely pay assessments for the unit and that the account remains delinquent. As part of the steps preceding the lawsuit, the association alleges it mailed a Notice of Intent to File Lien on Sept. 26, 2025, by certified mail and first-class mail to Norman and Geraldine Resnick.
The complaint further alleges that on Nov. 21, 2025, the association mailed a Notice of Intent to Foreclose its claim of lien, along with a copy of the associated claim of lien, again by certified mail and first-class mail.
After the time period described in the notice passed without payment, the association alleges it recorded its Claim of Lien against the property on Dec. 3, 2025. The filing alleges the recorded claim of lien secured the amounts stated in the lien, as well as additional unpaid assessments, interest, late fees, collection costs, and attorney’s fees that may accrue after the lien was recorded.
The lawsuit also names “Unknown Tenant in Possession #1” and “Unknown Tenant in Possession #2.” The association alleges their actual names are unknown and that any right or interest they may claim by occupying the premises or through a lease would be subordinate to the association’s lien.
In Count I, the association asks the court to enter judgment for its claim of lien and related amounts it says are due, including interest, late fees, attorney’s fees, costs, and other allowable expenses. The complaint also seeks a sale of the property if the alleged sums are not paid within the time set by the court, and it requests a deficiency judgment against the owners if sale proceeds are insufficient, according to the filing.
In Count II, the association separately seeks damages against the owners to recover delinquent assessments and related charges, alleging it is entitled to recover unpaid assessments plus interest, late fees, costs, and attorney’s fees incident to collection.
As with all civil complaints, the claims are allegations made by the plaintiff and have not been proven in court.
