      Over this past weekend I sent in four to five separate work orders that needed to be put in. I had followed all the instructions to make sure that these were submitted and sent them to the client services email. This email over the past 3 years has historically ignored work orders to my home. Of which a discrimination lawsuit is currently being investigated as I put together a trail of history and neglect. These work orders include light bulbs that are out throughout the community, broken sprinklers that were never turned on the beginning of the Season that has resulted in only my grass being affected, not sure if this was done on purpose but that's going to be placed in my lawsuit, but I don't have sprinklers that are working. The handyman that probably an illegally because he's related to a board member never fixed one of these three sprinklers that are broken correctly and it hasn't been turned on. The building across from me is literally rotting away and my neighbors were ignored regarding that so we have reached out to the county regarding that. I asked client services over the weekend and then again on Monday to send me a copy of all of the work orders that I asked to be submitted over the weekend and I was ignored. My neighbor submitted one today and *************** immediately replied back within 1 hour and 30 minutes. Isn't that interesting. Please also have the handyman or ***************** clean up between the sheds. Kids are playing outside here and there are very dangerous Stones cones that were being thrown around buckets being laid around and here's a photo. There is plenty of room in the shed to put this stuff away and to clean up after at the board members husband is done

      This complaint is aimed at the property management company who I have been sending the work orders to and they have ignored me.

      I am rejecting this response because: this is not a response that warrants a response and a waste of time and money on the communities and my money from an attorney. This is such an easy fix. You guys just can't seem to do your job. We shouldn't have to live like this and my photos show that. This is a safety hazard and something that should be fixed and addressed immediately. We had Kids on the  cinder blocks yesterday. This is not safe. 

      stop wasting our money and sending this to an attorney. The board of directors need to know that I have alerted the county and I have an open complaint with the ****. That is a waste and Ill responsibility of money what they have done to this community and spending our funds frivolously when there are Landscaping problems there are dead grass there is broken sprinkler heads there are lights that are out in the breezeways and we are spending our money on an attorney to respond on something that should be taken care of by you and them.  Irresponsible!!  On both your parts. And it will be brought up at the next board meeting. My next step is a lawsuit

      It is not considered harassment when I don't have working water, there are safety issues, that you are discriminating against my wife and I for. I pay to live here I don't pay to be discriminated against so on Friday I'm going down to the courthouse. You guys have discriminated against me enough you guys have left a wasp nest in my and above my garage, it is not harassment when you guys are expected to do your job. This is misuse of funds. And everybody in the community is going to get copies of what you guys have done to waste our money because you guys won't put in work orders correctly on stuff that I'm entitled to!!

       

      **** has also been contacted and will be performing an investigation on this board. Please provide me all and this is legal and this is owed to me all first and last names of board members so I can name them in the lawsuit. I will be naming Sky the owner of advanced HOA in the lawsuit as well but you need to provide me this information. I have nine outstanding work orders that you guys have not put in just for the record. You are discriminating against us because we are white and conservative. We pay to be here and we pay into a service that you are supposed to provide and you guys are not. And now my grass is dead and the sprinklers are broken and I have lights out in three of the buildings. This is all going to fall on poor management

      The wasp's nest have been addressed as have the lightbulbs.  Work orders for potential broken irrigation lines or valves are being sent to ****** for reapir as recieved.  A majority of the brown spots you are noting are from dog urine.  Per the Board you are invited to attend the board meetings to address any other concerns.  All work order requests are being reviewed by the board for approval for addressing.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      thank you for finally getting back to us. Nobody from your company ever communicated that our work orders were received. That isn't acceptable but we are glad they finally were addressed after over a month of putting them in. My wife is allergic to the wasp nest and could have cost her life because we were ignored. 

      Outside building 9047 dead grass has looked like this 7 plus years. While other buildings for example near ***** a Board member, receive 2 to 3 brand new sheets/slabs of grass.  While ours is the "ugliest in the community "  This absolutely is not signs of dog urine. One spot is, but the pics of patches dead and destroyed are due to poor maintenance and lack of water that was failed to be fixed when brought to your attention.   Also keesen prematurely chopped  2 shrubs in that same area in the fall in preparation for winter. They both are ruined because of their team and now we have the worst grass patch and 2 dead headed shrubs that grew nice and tall in the summer and fall for 13 years. This also needs to be fixed and replaced. 

      It does not seem appropriate or fair to not have working water, that was reported many times for addressing that assisted in the rapid decline and destroying of a quarter of the grass patch.   There are three dogs in this cube of homes and only one of the neighbors dogs uses it sometimes. This is a 7 year problem that needs addressing. It's a cheap fix and we have definitely paid for it to be repaired while other board members get sods of new grass?? Seems unreasonable especially when we contacted you before it became a real problem. 

      If we can get keesen to replace the 2 shrubs (the plants that grow very tall in summer and fall) that they ruined that would be appreciated. I have photos that this is not what it looked like prior years and that negligence caused this. 

      A ***************************** realtor was here last month showing a unit across from me, and notated to the young couple pointing out the poor landscaping on the side of 9039, in front of 9039 (has several dead shrubs) the rotting posts, then the grass plot in front of 9047 and she said to the potential client " this could use some better upkeep with their all the dead grass and bushes"  She was right. 

      I look forward to seeing ****** address the broken sprinklers over here- it's been over a month since it was reported to you, and also them replacing the 2 tall shrubs they ruined, and asking the board to do the right thing and look at what awful sad shape the grass has been in 7 years now and see if we can get it to fill in and grow and get water to it. 

      We also have some dead areas near the e. Side of 9039 I reported and the broken sprinkler near the dog p*** station behind the mailboxes nearest 9047. *****'s husband supposedly fixed it then my wife and I were told by ****** that it was not done properly and was not even working. So that too needs to be addressed too please before we lose more grass.

      All the board members have nice full green grass and working sprinklers. When our side doesn't and was ignored when work orders to catch it before it got worse were submitted appropriately.   Please consider doing the the right ethical thing and replace ******* big negligence and repair our grass. Thank you. 


      Sincerely,

      ****** and **************************;

      I can assure you we are addressing this issue on our end, but per state law and the HOA's governing documents, we must follow a specific compliance process regarding the timing of notices being sent to the tenant.  Like you, we are hoping to get this resolved asap.

      Here's the revised version of your message:Advance *** is the company responsible for managing the townhome community where I reside. Last year, I fell behind on my monthly payments. The account was sent to a law firm, and I paid off the amount in January 2024. However, the *** also sent the account to a collection agency, which I was not informed of. The collection agency reported the account as charged off this month, in May. This has resulted in my credit score being damaged, and the *** said they cannot help with anything.However, as a client of the collection agency, the *** should be able to request that the collection agency remove the item. This should not have been reported this month, as I paid the account in January 2024. Additionally, last year, the *** demanded that homeowners pay by the end of the year for an assessment for roof repairs that were to be done. They advised that if payment was not made, the account could be placed in collections or a payment plan with interest could be made. I made the payment for the assessment as requested, but the *** has done a poor job ensuring that the contractor followed through with the work.This *** is horrible, and I am deeply upset that due to their lack of responsibility, they failed to notify the collection agency that there was no money owed. Consequently, my credit report has been negatively impacted.

      Business Response

      *******

      Your account was over 120 days past due for the regular monthly assessment payments.  Per the Associations collections policy, we sent you a statement of delinquincy two times, an intent to lien notice, and then filled the lien.  Because you did not respond to these actions, your account was sent to the collection agency to recover past due assessments.  As noted in our collection efforts, and per state law, an 18 month payment plan would have been offered had you responded to our offices and requested such. The collectoin agency sent you numerous letters via ***** tried to reach you via phone over 20 times, and per policy, reported your unnwillingness to pay to the credit bureaus.  On October 12, 2023, the ***** of ********* voted to send your account to the Associations attorney for collection efforts.  This has nothing to do with the wind/ hail special assessment, as you met those obligations.  There is nothing we can do about your credit report as all efforts to contact you were exhausted but you chose to either ignore them.

      I believe this company has taken over my HOA management. I believe a flyer was left on my door back in March. I called the number on the flyer in March and left a voicemail. I never heard back from them. My last name was spelled wrong on the document pasted, nobody called me back. I honestly threw the paper away has spam/scam. Some context, I own multiple properties and receive engagement letters for property management all the time. The ones that I know, spell my name right and call me back. Anywho, I had another letter posted on my door this evening. It states in the letter it was posted 1 week ago, theyve reached out through a number of channels and my name spelled wrong with intent to file a lien language written.To my knowledge, I dont owe this company anything. So I have two questions:Is this a legitimate business?Do they have someone that can validate that with me?Not looking to dodge payment if I owe them something, but there has not been a legitimate attempt to contact or help, it seems the business wants to pass off those responsibilities to the threat of and handoff to collections agencies.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I talked with *******, she was great.

      i am still disputing this for two line items that remain on the ledger.

      i have proactively reached out to the company for about 60 days to cure any disputes. Havent heard from them this until this report was filed. My contact information was incorrect in their systems and I am being invoiced for their error.

      I did not have this problem with the previous entity. At this point, I have paid what I owed and agreed to pay as part of living in this community.

      invoicing owners for poor acquisition planning and integration of systems is poor form, and should reasonably be accounted for when taking over an account. The fees they invoice the community have increased four fold, you would think having correct contact information would be part of the elevated fees. I have had no problems with this process the last 4 years, until one variable changed, the company managing.

      Again the only method of communication that I have received from the company I quickly and urgently responded to, what can only be considered commercially reasonable efforts.

      As ******* noted, our records were provided to us from the prior managment company, and what they provided to us was a past due amount.  From what I understand,  you agreed to reach out to prior management to address this issue and to have them provide us a corrected ledger.  As far as AHOA is concerned, you are current with your payments to your HOA.  The other option would be to ask the ***** of ********* to waive any prior late fees and interest as this is not a decision that we can make.

      Complaint: 21738680

      I am rejecting this response because:

      This is confusing. **** wants to cite a past due balance from the previous *** management team, but not accept that all of my contact information was incorrect. That's not the core of the issue here.

      Here is the problem:

      I never received any communication, notice or other outreach from A*** through standard means. No phone call, snail mail with mis-spelled names, no emails. I paid the previous *** quarterly over the phone, we moved in of March. So the last month covered was November of 2023 (Your payment systems are much better now that I have been able to login). I received a letter on my door on March 25th 2024. I called Advance ***, left a VM notating that I was traveling out of the country for about a month or so and inquired how i settle any outstanding payments.

      I never heard back from you.

      I then received a second letter on the door, post-marked 5/13/2024 but it actually was posted on the door 5/20/2024. I called that evening, left another voicemail. Still no call back. To be clear the verbiage in the letter is 'intent to lien', significant stuff. So, I wait for business hours to call and talk to *****. She was super helpful in getting my into the payment center and how to navigate. I then open this complaint. I got an immediate response from you and a call from *******. ******* waived any of the late charges + interest, thank you! I got all the payments up to date.

      But there are still invoiced items, 'physical posting fee' and 'intent to lien' ******* stated she couldn't remove and referred me to the *** governing documents. I called her back and said i read through the documents and there is no recourse stated in the *** documents for a commercially reasonable attempt by an owner to reach the *** management company and cure any past due payments without additional follow up from the *** management company. She stated that there is nobody we can ask and she asked internally and there was nothing she could do. Additionally i went through the documents, resident/owner contact information should be pulled from the Deed. My information is correct at the deed level.

      Not until i explicitly asked to take this to the board, was this taken to the board.

      So, this business complaint is now two-fold:

      - Failure to respond to a commercially reasonable attempt to cure payments owed, resulting in erroneous invoices that the owner attempted to prevent.

      - Ambiguously stating there is no recourse for an owner of the association as if A*** is the end all be all.

      The board decision is an entirely separate matter. I can only hope that A*** provides the facts that I have provided in this thread and in email to A*** appropriately to the *** board. However, both of these complaints stand alone and are solely attributable to A*** in any *** management position they hold.

      It comes down to this, why was I not called back in March to settle anything owed? Why was I told there was no recourse for these fees?

      Mail sent to the wrong person, misspelled name. Emails sent to an incorrect email address. The only communication that got to us was posted on our door, in which we promptly responded to.

      The method of payment changed, without contact to the resident. It's a completely different url, login, authentication, payment processor and physical point of contact. You say its on me, to reasonably reach out and cure any issues.

      I have called the phone number on the letter posted to my door. I have left multiple voicemails. Not sure how someone shows up on the queue. I have provided screenshots of the outbound dial and duration of call in the past. Your ***, won't allow the call duration to persist if you don't leave a voicemail. I called again last week and left a voicemail, left a voicemail with the client services team as i did back in March. I have a recording I can attach if that's helpful.

      I didn't call you and leave a voicemail to try and find a gap in your operational system. I called because that is the most prompt way to get things done. I am not on a witch **** to call out your business, I have no BBB complaints.

      Bottom line, you inherited a new account. You didn't have correct contact details for my residence. It states clearly in the bylaws, the deed is where contact information should be collected from, when in doubt. That didn't happen. 

      The communication I did successfully receive, i responded to asking how to cure the issue. I have left multiple voicemails. This business did not reply.

      Subsequently, there are emails on this topic and I haven't heard anything since this was taken to the board a month ago. Frankly, I have no idea if it was taken to the board in the most recent board meeting.

      If you don't have record of voicemails, please say so. If you need the recording to track that down let me know. If voicemail isn't a viable way of communicating with you the *** needs to be updated and voicemail option taken away.

      Additionally, i did dial into the client services queue. I talked to '*****' i believe, i can go back through my notes (i referenced her somewhere in this thread). She helped me get a login, created a password for me and helped me on auto-pay. I would imagine that record should be in the client service call logs, or queues. I'm not sure i was ever placed on hold so if that is requirement when gathering queue data, perhaps that's why I'm not showing up.

      Please, remove the invoice line items that I reasonably tried to cure.

      Ill reach out to the account receivable team at Advance HOA.

      Please resolve your voicemail issues. I made commercially reasonable attempts to cure this issue with Advance HOA, I received no response from Advance HOA.

      Hello I would like an update on what's going on with the landscape plan. The last three moves that we have had the grass is horrible. It is uneven everywhere. It is a sloppy sloppy job and I have 11 photos that I can upload. Is this how every MO is going to look because if the board just looks outside they will see that everything is uneven on Apache plume drive. Also I want to make sure that there is a plan to take out the dead bushes and shrubs throughout the entire Community not just a board members yards and make sure that they are replanted. What are also we going to do with the dead grass and the dog stains? When will those be replanted and looking again properly? We pay a h*** of a lot to live here and we just reject up $100 more so if we need to get a different bid from a landscaper to come and beautify this place we might as well enjoy it and have nice landscape because there's dead shrubs and dead grass all over this community on both streets. When is the Landscaping walk with the vendor perhaps myself and my wife and a couple other homeowners that are concerned can attend. Also the rock beds need to be raked. We have lived here 14 years and not once have the rock beds been raked. This is something that *****'s husband can do because the rocks are falling into the grades and parking spots because they never had the properly raked and now piping is exposed. Raking needs be done every 2 years to make sure that everything is even of the rocks. Also the sprinkler that was ruined by the building 9047 handicap spot, if you want to go look at how poorly the landscapers installed it it is half installed the grass patch is not put in properly and it looks atrocious. You should see how they fixed their problem. It looks terrible. I look forward to hearing back from you on what the Landscaping plan is and when we can start seeing plants planted the dead ones removed and the grass fixed in all the areas. Please fix the sprinkler area & look outside on the ***** mow.

      We went through the proper channels to make sure that this was addressed. And of course received no response. This is Habitual from Advance HOA and in particularly the lack of service that ************************* provides. ******************* doesn't seem to give her coach and counsel or discipline or follow up. We have as a community sentenced several complaints that he is aware of. Please make sure that these items in the photos are addressed and sent to the property manager. Since we did not receive contact from her and followed the rules that we were asked to and were ignored we had to address it with the Better Business Bureau and the ********** of ******** Affairs.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      you have not notified the board of these spots. It is actually female urine that causes these spots. In my general area where my family lives it has looked like this for years. It's time to pay attention to the places in this community that have been neglected. Will you also let the board know there are two or three dead plants at the entrance at the center median. We sent this in as well as my neighbors and of course we were ignored by our manager.

      ThoseThose need to be taken out and replaced. I have notified the state of Colorado EEOC **** Department and have reported this board for investigation.

       The board also needs to know that there are stuff that is over the counter that you can buy to put on the spots to help them grow. It is an over-the-counter cheap item and this is something that *****'s husband who is probably not allowed to be hired by us, but that's just something that he can do. We pay a lot for him and he doesn't do much quality work but this is something that he could be taking care of throughout the community. Go to ****** they have it and you treat each spot with it. This isn't difficult and until he is fired or let go because I have put in an investigation on conflict of interest, then this is something that he could do. Please recommend that to the board and if they need the name of the product we would be happy to send it over for their review. I think this is owed to the homeowners to not look this bad. This year the grass and Landscaping does not look as good as it did last year. We all are noticing

The *** management company has assessed a late fee as well as interest.I never received notification of the "missing" payment.

      This business has shown a pattern of being non responsive to request and inquiries from customers. Additionally, I have had several issues with them sending my personal information to an unauthorized recipient. The home ownership was amended and the *** was provided a copy of the quit claim deed and was asked to remove the previous co-owner from the mailing list. It took 2 years to resolve this and resulted in late fees and interest on *************** since notices were being sent to the incorrect address.

      The current situation is similar in that I have yet to receive any notification of a missing payment. I only discovered it by chance after logging into the businesses website. I asked the business about this and they have not provided an answer as to why I wasn't notified of a missing/late payment.

      Generally, the business is unresponsive to customers until a negative review is left on ****** or a BBB complaint is filed. They are failing at the most basic customer service requirements. I should not have to file a complaint with BBB or leave a negative review to get a response to an inquiry.

      In the response to my complaint, *** blames the **** and says "they are not responsible," implying that I am. I have used the same bill pay process for 8 years and for multiple bills and never had an issue. At a minimum, they should be responsible for alerting customers of missing payments. Especially if they are charging interest for late or missing payments.

      It has been close to (not yet) a year since the hail storm that completely destroyed and shredded the screens on our windows. Not only to our unit, but to many others. We have been extremely patient and have not been communicated with as to when the screens will be replaced. Per the *** documents- window screens are included and, in our insurance, claim. One building seems to have been done, but we do not put it passed this Board and this *** company to discriminated against our building as they have factually done to my home and my wife. We have been singled out and discriminated again because of our faith, color and our political beliefs and have been denied several services. We want to make sure that we are safe and protected for when the winds and rain, snow come- our windows have NO protection. It should not take 8 months to get screens replaced. Especially when the "handyman" who is related to one of our Board members, who has now his own parking spot that has been used 2 times in 6 months for 26 min total, this is something they could be doing. Please provide my family and my building an upate on these damages and when they will be replaced. This has gone on long enough without protection to our homes.

      What is the conflict of interest policy of the community-since I have not been sent the rules and regulations documents that I have asked for over five times and still don't have our documents? Homeownership has not been told in a public forum or voted on by the homeowners that a board member's husband can be employed by us and we were not told a that he is the husband of a board member and be that we even had a handyman and what his roles and schedule are then he was given a parking spot why would he need a parking spot for the golf cart that has been there one maybe two times not even 20 minutes in the last year especially when he lives two buildings away.  I have pictures and videos of him going into his own garage grabbing tools and materials to and I use this term loosely fix things. Those tools and equipment are not insured by the community so if you were to get hurt on equipment that is his own personal;  this is a problem.  This particular position Was not Transparent And was not told to us That he was related to a board member And that We even had a handyman I have gone to 13 homes and spoke to these particular families in the community in person And started a list And out of the 13 homes that I personally visited with not Mention that we were notified And did not know that we even had a handyman and definitely did not know that he is a husband of a board member so I want to know what the policy is and if this is legal in the documents To do this and to not Notify the community And Be transparent about who he is what his schedule is what he is being paid and who he's related to.  Very shady and dishonest and I can't find in the meeting minutes where this was approved so if that is in there can you send it to me and show me where it was also approved that it was okay to hire a board members husband at our expense. And is this person allowed to use their own personal tools from their own personal garage?  Huge liability here dishonesty and transparency.  Could potentially be a conflict of interest issue in the bylaws and rules and regulations so I want to make sure that I have copies of all of that and see if this indeed was approved and doesn't go against our conflict of interest policies. 

       

      we also need to have a light bulb repair at Apache plume and Cottonwood at the Prairie ******* sign. One of them is currently burnt out and has for 2 months now.

      The community and ***** of ********* have been negotiating with the insurance carriers adjuster for nearly one year now.  The adjuster was negotiating in bad faith regarding the damages to the property so the ***** od ********* decided to hire a PA to assist with the claim.  Numerous updates as well as Q and A have happened at the monthly board meetings since the start of the year.  In fact, the selected roofer, the PA, and representatives from the Project Management firm were at last months board meeting to update all that attended.  The final settlement is expected by the end of the Month and hopefully the work, too include window screens, can get started by the middle of the summer.  This is the process with large wind/ hail claims, and yes, this one has taken longer than normal per the above.  If you choose to replace the window screens at your unit, document before and after pictures and submit the receipt for insurance reimbursement.  Of note, the insurance reimbursement generally does not meet the pricing you will receive from a vendor and you can assume a financial loss due to the exactamate pricing used in the insurance claim world vs the private sector. The notice of special assessment to the owners is forthcoming once the claim is settled.

      I submitted an emergency maintenance request for roof repair on 6/24/23 for exterior damage that caused a leak, resulting in interior damage. There was no confirmation of repair for 3 months, as the first time we saw something in writing regarding a repair was on was September 18th. In that writing, it was stated that silicone sealant was applied, but will ultimately need to be replaced. We have cited Rule 14.B of the ******************* ********* declaration, which states the following: 14. "Access to Units for Maintenance, Repair and Emergencies:"B: "Damage to the interior or any part of a unit, resulting from the maintenance, repair, emergency repair or replacement of any of the general common elements or as a result of emergency repairs within another unit shall be a common expense of all of the owners; provided, however, that if such damage is caused by negligent or tortious act of a unit owner, members of his family, his agent, employee, invitee, licensee or tenant, then such unit owner shall be responsible and liable for all of such damage. All damaged improvements shall be restored substantially to the same condition in which they existed prior to the damage." We have asked several times why the *** is stating this rule does not apply as they steadfast in their position that this interior damage will not be covered by the ***. Any interior repair we complete will require the exterior damage to addressed properly first. A summation of the issue is that a repair has taken months since an initial emergency repair request was made, which was negligent of the issue. *** has stated that they will only cover damage in the case of negligence, but refuse to acknlowdege this as a case of negligence. They have admitted to a delay from the contractor, which is the ***'s responsibility as they chose to hire that contractor for the repairs that fall within their responsibilities.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I submitted an initial emergency maintenance request for this issue back in June when it occurred. Since then, I have been in contact with *************************** (Community Manager) and *************************** (Community HOA President) regarding this issue. I attached a screenshot of my personal inbox to show the history of emails with the dates reflected on the right-hand side. In several of those emails, I have cited a rule from our community HOA declaration (attached), ******************* Declaration rule 14.B, which states the following: 

      14.  "Access to Units for Maintenance, Repair and Emergencies:"

      B: "Damage to the interior or any part of a unit, resulting from the maintenance, repair, emergency repair or replacement of any of the general common elements or as a result of emergency repairs within another unit shall be a common expense of all of the owners; provided, however, that if such damage is caused by negligent or tortious act of a unit owner, members of his family, his agent, employee, invitee, licensee or tenant, then such unit owner shall be responsible and liable for all of such damage. All damaged improvements shall be restored substantially to the same condition in which they existed prior to the damage." 

      **** has remained steadfast in her responses that interior repairs would only be covered due to negligence, which in this circumstance can be applied since the emergency request was made on 6/24/23, and confirmation of sealant being applied as a temporary solution was not received until 10/27/23, according to emails. *************************** also approached us for roofer recommendations when the contractor was engaged in delays, and this conversation occurred months after the initial emergency request was made.

      I also have not received an explanation as to why the rule above does not apply, since the exterior condition of the roof (maintenance/repair of a common element) directly resulted in the water damage to the interior ceiling. 

      I have not brought my personal issue to any board meetings, since I try to be respectful of the community's needs and this matter is very specific.

This vehicle has been chalked on their tires by a neighborhood watch, volunteers put together and we have time stamped dated pictures. The vehicle has not been towed as Management is supposed to do, They never do their job especially when pertaining to parking violations. This vehicle needs to be addressed and towed or we will assume we in the building re being discriminated against. We have received NO reply, and 2 other homeowners have also reported the same vehicle.We have yellow holes in our yards in front of **** f and D. We were promised by ***** that it would be fixed this summer- we have emails from her, this never happened and other Boards yards look wonderful coincidentally, but our continues on 10+ neglect. Pattern much?We also have a light build out, to the left of Unit Fs garage. We suspect based off the history of this Board and unprofessional and disgusting behavior of the Management company that we will never get ours replaced. We do need it replaced and have gone through the channels to make sure we are not neglected fo our safety when outside. The governing docs state in our assessments exterior lighting is converered. We have a handyman who is not supposed to be working on site here and has no insurance and who is also related to a Board member- this has been recorded at the county level, for investigation, but this conflict of interest handyman could be changing the lightbulbs that are out. We need it replaced.

      ******

      I have sent your request to **** regarding the lightbulb replacement as this should be an easy timely fix.  I am unaware of the parking rules or contract the *** has with a monitoring company but this is handled at the *****'s discretion, not the management company.  I am also unaware of any promises by the ***** to replace or repair the sod in your complex but assume the yellow spots are from pet urine.  Again, this item needs to be approved by the ***** of ********* and the decision implented by the manager.
