      Status:
      Resolved
      We owned a condo in the ********************** in *******, ******** which was managed by ***. We sold the condo on July 25, 2023. We had already paid the association fees for August and assumed we would get a refund. In October we received an invoice for September, which included a late fee. I called and explained the situation and was told that we would be sent a refund for the August payment. No check arrived, so we called back in December and left a voice message. No one returned our calls, so I started to call daily in January. I can reach the receptionist, but she sends my call to the same person in accounting who never answers the phone, so I leave a voice mail. I have asked to be connected to a real person, but am always told that ****** is the person I need to speak with. The receptionists are rude and tell me ****** is very busy and always on the phone. They refuse to send my call to anyone else.

      We had a roof leak. Contacted them and sent EMT out here. Found out it was from bad flashing on the roof around the pipe. He came back after contacting **** several times to get him out cause we wanted to paint and wanted the leak to be taken care of on the roof which that leak cause a leak on our ceiling. We ourselves fixed the ceiling after we think he fixed the roof. We were kind enough when he checked the pipe in the attic to have him use our extended ladder. He was up there approx if this much 15 minutes came down and said your all set. Then I get a bill from the board for some bogas charges that he fixed the our ceiling. That was settle after calls to EMT which the board banded them from coming out to make sure the work on the roof was done in June 2023. The bill came to us about a month ago. Talked to EMT they adjusted it cause we repaired the ceiling. Now they are charging me cause he went up in the attic and said he insulated the pipe. I went up there and took pictures The insulation is laying on the attic floor and I should not be able to see the sky if the flashing was done correctly. Now since the ceiling leak was from the flashing on the roof where the pipe was, there should be no charge to me cause the association takes care of the roof. But getting charged$78,00 cause he was up there about 15 minutes to put the insulation on the floor??? It came from the roof and that pipe did not have to be insulated cause it never was and it is a Double Wall Pipe.. I had Hud do a inspection here when refinancing,, no leaks anywhere.. We have a new Association now. Better we hope. We reached out to the old association many times about this and never heard anything back until the bill came. Dated July 2023. EMT is backed in a corner cause the association did not pay bills. Now being charged for having him look at the pipe, that the leak came FROM THE FLASHING ON THE ***** I would not ever live in a condo again. Rules they put out never followed up on any complaints.

      Hi *** - As you know, you had spoken with **** several times about this matter. She put you in direct contact with the maintenance technician. The ***** of ********* of your Association made the decision to not have EMT work on the property in the future. It was also the ***** of *********' decision to bill back all interior work to the homeowner. We take direction from your ***** of ********* and have mentioned that you should contact them directly about their decisions or attend a meeting. We no longer manage your Association and advise that you contact your new firm and ask that they address your concerns with the *****.
