| Though I haven’t published anything to this site since last year, I felt that I needed to do so at this point in time, for the expressed purpose of keeping a record of recent happenings and discussions with property management personnel. Though there have been several times I have gone to the office to complain about problems I have not done much other than mention them to Christina, the only office staff person left since the last site manager was fired nearly three months ago. Having complained several times about kids riding their bike all over the place and other activities that were a violation of the property policies at the tennis court, I was told by Kristin to take pictures of the offenders, and she would see that the proper tenants were spoken to. I drafted a letter concerning these issues and attached pictures and took it to the office on 12 June when we renewed our lease. At the time we renewed our lease, on 12 June, We also expressed several things that we were not happy with concerning the pool area. As many of these problems persisted, I later followed this conversation up with a letter on 20 June. Also on 20 June I called the police at 3:00am in the morning due to a “ruckus” at the pool. I found out that these same kids came back a couple of nights later and that some tenants in Building 2 called the police again, and that 4 kids were arrested. On the 22 of June I received a phone call from District Manager, Debbie Pinto. She was very rude to me on the phone stating from the beginning of the call that we were not owners here and really had no rights, that she had looked over files pertaining to me and noted that all I did was complain and that if I was so unhappy, why don’t I just move, that she would be glad to let me out of my lease; in fact she didn’t know why they even let me renew. She said that I was rude to her personnel, to the point that I had apologized to Kristin, that they were short handed and doing the best they could. Three times she noted that she would release me from my lease and suggested that I should leave. All This was before I even got the opportunity to say a word in response. I spent the next 10 minutes correcting her misconceptions and explaining some of the specific issues that I had complained about. On 26 June I spoke with Jerry, the maintenance supervisor while at the pool and asked why he continually throws the debris from the pool onto the apron and the grassed areas surrounding the pool. He noted that he only takes it to a trash receptacle if he has time, besides the “yard” people clean it up. I pointed out stuff that the “yard” people did not clean up and that they were just here yesterday. He then said, well that’s not a problem because you clean it up when you come to the pool everyday. I then asked him if he just did it to be an asshole and to show a lack of respect for me. He walked away without answering. On 28 June I sent an email to Kristin concerning the problem that was being experience with rats roaming the property. I attached pictures that were sent to me from Marc, my next door neighbor. |

Issues Reported During June 2009
Friday
Registering Complaints or Problems
11/19/2008 - Today I received emails from three tenants concerning recent activity or problems that has concerned them, each indicating extreme displeasure and the possibility of moving out if things don't seem to improve. Though I really appreciate you emailing me with your concerns and comments so we can track things, I need to point out that each of you needs to report your concerns directly to the management office.
I have been told by Amanda, on more than one occasion, that nobody else has complained about some of these issues, implying that I am the only one. In a meeting with Amanda yesterday, I was told that she will no longer take or register complaints from other tenants through me. Therefore if you don't personally register your own concerns or complaints of persons breaking property rules or policies, nothing will get done to resolve them.

Wednesday
SWAT on Property
11/19/2008 - I had a couple of tenants ask me what this was all about. Jim Freed sent me an email making me aware of the situation. In talking with others and the office, this is what I have been able to piece together.
Late Wednesday, sometime between 3-pm and 5-pm, what appeared to be a local SWAT team, consisting of seven to eight persons, deployed on property around unit 311 in building three. Seems that they were here for nearly two hours. When Jim opened his door, he was told to go back inside his appartment and stay there. They also had an extra guard posted out in front of his porch. Jim said that they finally breached the apartment and went in, though he wasn't sure if anyone was home and didn't know whether any arrests were made or if they just missed
timed their raid. As to the "why" I do not know all details, however from what I've been told, it appears that our nighttime security person wrote up a report concerning the occupants of this unit that was forwarded to the police. The police then came and "evicted" the occupants from the property.

Drag Racing in Parking Lot
11/17/2008 - The residents of Unit #323 reported to me via email that they had just been involved in a very frightening incident. On Monday, at approximately 3:30 pm, they were attempting to back out from their parking space in front of Building three, when they heard a loud noise that sounded like an engine revving. They had just put the car into gear (reverse), when out of the blue, two cars, hidden from view because of the dumpster, raced side by side up the driveway towards the dumpster in front of Building 5. They reported that it was a miracle that they nor any other cars got hit. Because it happened so fast, and the fact that they were so upset, they did not even write down the plates &/or description of the cars.

Five Police Cars on Property @ 4:15am
11/15/2008 - Friday night (actually 4:15 am Sat morning) when I came home, I was nearly side-swipped in front of the mail box area by a white SUV, that entered the property and passed me doing at least 40 mph. I was so startled, I just sat there until he was out of site. I then followed after him and found a police car stopped between buildings #22 and 23, with the roof lights on (no lights were on when he went by me earlier). An officer was out of the car walking around with a flashlight.
I was later informed by Marc Resnick (#2322) that when he came in at just before 5:00 am, there was a police car on Green Valley Pkwy blocking the exit to the property, and four or five cars in the area of buildings 22 and 23, preventing him from parking his car in his assigned parking space. Anytime there is something that requires five or six police cars on property, I get very concerned.
When I got up I went to the office and asked Kristen is she was aware of the incident. She said she knew nothing about it, but would call the police and find out. On Monday, I emailed Amanda about this asking her if they had found anything out. I talked with her a couple of days later, and she told me that she knew nothing and if I wanted to know what it was about, that I should call the police department.
