Property Management Co doing nothing!

Get your county Permitting Dept involved and the county developement and the county commissioners or anyone who will listen to you. The developer has Bonds in place with them. Failure to follow the original plans that were approved by the county, doesn't fly well with the government agencies who are responsible for the growth of your area. Keep calling and writting until you find a responsible person within the local government who responds with help. There are "sheister developers " who want to make a fast buck but haven't got the funds to back themselves up. Then they gradually renig on their responsibilities and the homeowners are left holding the repair bills. And most importantly--DO NOT ACCEPT A TURNOVER UNTIL THE OWNERS ARE SATISFIED WITH THE CONDITION OF THE COMMUNITY.

You are welcome. Our Developer on the Platt plans, had agreed with our County, to install "Grade 1" Oak trees along our parkways(street side strips).This was over 400 trees. A year after turnover, the trees were all looking very bad and very diseased. It took me 11 months of having arborists and so called tree experts, come and examine them. The opinion was that the trees were all of a poor grade #3 and were not in compliance with the original approval. No help there. Then I remembered that the County Engineering Dept. and the Urban Environmental had signed off on the original platt. It took some pleading but guess what. The trees were addressed and all was taken care of to our satisfaction. Moral of the story is to get someone who is devoted to work on this and keep going after them. It is hard work but it puts a huge smile on your face with getting satisfaction

In addition go to your city folks and start in on them they write the permits and do the inspections. They have the tree police and all the other silly things we pay taxes to support. Find a city commisioner up for election or reelection and make nice with her or him. get them on your side wine em dine help get them into the public trough but never eevr let them forget who put them there. It works for us it beats the hell out of massive attys fees in your budget!!
