Carport Detritus

Our parking areas are supposed to be leaf blown on a regular basis. At one point, we were told every two weeks, though I have never found that to be the case. Apparently, even once a month is too much to ask. Between December 2010 and February 2011, the carports were not cleaned at all. To compound matters, that time of year is the time when leaf accumulation is the worst. By the time the carports were cleaned in February, there were piles of leaves several inches deep in some areas.

This photo was taken in March of 2011, about a week after the carports were cleaned. As you can see, this area is already in need of attention. This is at least partly due to the less than thorough job that was done in February of removing several months worth of debris. One more service our residents were promised that was not delivered. And when it was delivered, the workmanship was unacceptable.

Frostbitten

These bushes were frost damaged in December 2010. This picture was taken in March 2011. SVEHOA had over two months to tend to frost damaged shrubs around the property and chose not to. Once again, they failed to render the services they were paid for by the residents of the community they manage.

Stucco


This stucco wall was patched and painted in late 2009. By Thanksgiving 2010, that patch had deteriorated and fallen away. This picture was taken in March 2011. Our management had more than three months to address this issue and chose not to despite having raised our maintenance fees during those three months.

Not only are we provided with low quality maintenance work in exchange for our hard earned money, but we can't even count on having that shoddy workmanship corrected when it falls apart.
