| - Re: Rachel M.'s comments. This is a condominium community. It was built in 2003 as an upscale property with some things lacking. The family that built it has been in legal trouble all over the country, the father now in Federal prison. Since becoming a condominium, the Association has constantly upgraded the property. The unfortunate water issues were a result of the connections to to city water outside the buildings that were corroding due to the inferior materials used in construction. The water shutoffs and burst pipes were while replacing them all with high quality piping and valves outside. It is completed. The water issue you referenced in the clubhouse the day you moved in was caused by the resident living above the fitness center over stuffing her washer with too many towels and mats. All owners were also required to replace all water fittings and hoses in condos to be metal ones to be more secure.
Being in Arizona, ths complex has so few bug issues it is eerie. Any issue needs to be adamantly addressed with the owner of the condo. Burns Pest Control will come out to any condo on Fridays for only $20 and the owner of the condo needs to pay for it. I own 5 condos here and live on the property, I had 1 small issue in a tenants apartment and it was taken care of 3 years ago. The complex also has Burns come regularly to spray the property in and around the buildings.
As for the floors, it sounds like the owner above installed wood floors on the sly without a unit modification form as required by the association, and installed them without using the proper underpadding. That she should have complained to the management office and the owner above (one can find them on the county Assessor site).
The property has undergone massive expensive upgrades, all 3 pools and the hot tub spa were dug out and redone with new pebbletec finishes, the concrete decks and pavers are all new. The hall trims are all repainted, we are getting new carpet this year. 58 security cameras are almost completely installed adding to the secure feeling here. The landscaping is redone and updated. We are in the process of installing entrance gates to access the property.
Yes, this property, like most others in Arizona, many condos were foreclosed and re bought by owners and investors. The investors here are a different breed. Many of them or their agents are here daily , all are very attentive to tenants needs, many of the condos are upgrades with tile, granite, crown moldings, new appliances and other items. It is a very appealing place to live, I own investment units, liked it so much, I actually moved in one myself.
