  I have had repeated problems with my ceiling leaking in my condo due to a bad roof. The *** continues to put a bandaid on something that needs to be more thoroughly replaced and is costing me money in the process. I also have grave concerns about mold possibly growing in the space between my ceiling and roof as well as the walls due their unwillingness to correct the issue. September **************************************************** my condo. I contacted the ***, they sent someone out to look at the roof and fix the issue. After the work was completed, I paid to have my ceiling repaired in the amount of $200. Then in April 2024 the problem happened again. I came home to damage to my ceiling again leaking, carpet soaked. Contacted the *** who once again sent someone out to repair the roof. This time repairs out of my pocket cost me $350. Then again in November 2024 my ceiling started peeling and leaking and eventually opened back up. I contacted my *** yet again. After repeated phone calls Ii finally got in touch with someone. There is no sense or urgency in responding. It is clear whatever the repair people are doing is insufficient as the issue keeps occurring. I keep spending money out of pocket to fix the ceiling only to have the issue keep happening. The *** is responsible for the exterior up keep of the condominium complex and is failing to live up to that responsibility by taking the cheapest route instead of fixing the issue.

  We understand the frustration, and hope that the situation is rectified quickly. In reviewing this matter we found that communication has been had and information has been shared with the complainant.

  We have made the Board aware of the situation and once it is safe to do so, they will have a roofer assess the matter.

  It may help to clarify our role in the community. Oftentimes homeowners believe Sentry Management is the **** We are not. We are also not a Property Management company. Instead, we have the honor of serving associations by assisting their hard working boards with the day-to-day administrative functions of managing their communities. We are not the decision makers and have no authority to resolve some of the challenges homeowners face. We know if can be confusing when the roles are not understood and hope this bit of information helps.

  While this matter is in the Board's hands, we are aware and will monitor for progress.

  I am rejecting this response because there is no indication of what will be done and when it will be done.  When will the board meet?  It is unreasonable not to provide a resolution date when I have been dealing with this issue for two years.   I see roofers working throughout my surrounding community all the time.  There was also no mention of the repairs to my ceiling.  I need specifics on how this matter will be resolved.  A list of the current Board members is also requested.

  The Board has committed to reviewing the roof in the Spring when weather permits.
  The Board will also discuss this matter in an upcoming monthly meeting. 
  We have no authority or further information on this matter, but continue to provide the information to the Board for review.

  Complaint: 22818979
  
  I am rejecting this response because: while I appreciate the response to further review the roof in the spring it fails to address the damage to the ceiling in my unit which still needs to be repaired for the 3rd time as a direct result of the patching instead of properly fixing the roof the first two times.  I want my ceiling fixed at no additional cost to me in addition to the roof being properly fixed.  Weather can be predicted up to 30 days so waiting until the Spring should not be necessary.  I request your immediate consideration and a response on this matter so I can determine next steps.

  All decisions on expenditures by the association are made by the Board. We has presented this information to them for review and have received their response, which we have shared previously. There is nothing further we can do to assist.

  CMA now Sentry managed our subdivision or condo association for approximately three and a half to four years. Initially, we had ***** as our manager, and she did an excellent job of communicating effectively and ensuring that deadlines were met. However, things took a turn for the worse when they decided to switch our association over to another manager.Under the new manager, ***** the property was managed in a state of disrepair. For instance, several of our invoices, including our water bill, were not paid. As a result, our water was shut off, and our ************ bill for the outside lights and garages were also cut off. There were at least four to six unpaid invoices that she claimed were due to mail not arriving, even though she should have been doing check and balances, ensuring all invoices were paid.Furthermore, she neglected the community. She only conducted drive-bys in her SUV of the community, as if she didnt like being in our part of town. This limited her ability to really access the community and see the deficiencies that needed to be repaired.Additionally, several issues remained unaddressed, such as the porch and balcony situations, the siding on our property, and dumpster problems. The property has been neglected and is in a state of disrepair due to the mismanagement of Sentry and our property manager.

  Business Response

  Date: 01/16/2025

  While we are disappointed to read this perception of Sentry, we dispute the allegations made. 
  
  It may help to first clarify our role in communities. Sentry Management is not a property management company, but instead we are hired to assist boards as they manage the community. We help with the day-to-day administrative functions and provide direction to ensure all governing documents and state requirements are met by the association. We are not the decision makers for communities. The elected Board, comprised of volunteers, works hard to make the best decisions for all homeowners. While we do work at the direction of the board, there can be unsurmountable challenges within an association that lead to the challenges described in this complaint. 
  
  In reviewing with the team, we have determined that the manager conducted property visits in compliance with our agreement and with the same level of detail as we do for all communities. 

  Because we no longer serve as the association management company for this association, we are unable to assist further.

  We have been paying for a construction *** via Sentry that was supposed to end when the road was complete in the neighborhood. We have inquired about when this would go away and have been met with silence. Further, Sentry is responsible for the contracts within the *** to include snow removal. We have been snowed in our neighborhood for two days because they have failed to clear the roads, or sidewalks. I have reached out to sentry and our *** multiple times and have been met with silence which seems to be their way of conducting business when they dont have an answer as to why they are not fulfilling their requirements. Snow removal is not the only part of Sentry and the *** that has been neglected. They are responsible for the maintenance on the outside of all houses and there is a house that has had a hole in the back of it for over a year.

  Business Response

  Date: 01/16/2025

  In reviewing this matter we found communication with the complainant that helps clarify our role in the community. Sentry is the association management company for the **** and we are adhering to our contractual obligations as such. We understand that the complainant was misinformed regarding multiple associations and also understand the frustration that may have caused.
  
  The role of the association management company is to assist the board in the day-to-day administrative tasks association with managing an association. Additionally, we provide guidance to ensure adherence to the governing documents and state requirements. We are not property managers, nor are we the decision makers for the communities we are privileged to serve.

  The goal for treatment during a snow event is to ensure emergency vehicles can get into the community.  Crews are contracted by the *** to provide snow removal services and will treat multiple communities at the same time. They also return to provide additional services post storm. We apologize if the service was not performed to the complainant's satisfaction and did provide the feedback to the Board for consideration.

  I am rejecting this response because though they have shown their communication, they have failed to show that they acknowledge that they do not know their separate roles and responsibilities yet continue to increase our billing and not following through on those roles. Until this company can specifically outline who is supposed to do what, we should not be paying for services. This has been an ongoing issue for two years.

  Multiple times I have tried to communicate with our property manager. Phone calls and emails. I also go to meetings. I am only getting only lip service.These are services we pay with our condo fees. The work is always paid for even if the work is not supervised or checked by the property manager before it is ******** fence incomplete,Pressure washing,Black mold Leaky pool shower,Uneven and rotting sidewalks.Subcontracted ground maintenance services they employ and pay monthly.They act like the homeowners are more of a nuisance while they are taking our money.

  Business Response

  Date: 01/16/2025

  We are disheartened to learn of this less than positive perception of Sentry Management.
  
  It may help to clearly define our role in the community. Sentry is honored to be the association management company chosen to work with the Board and assist with the day-to-day administrative functions of managing a community. We are not property managers and do not have autonomous decision-making authority in the community.

  In reviewing the matters mentioned in this complaint:

  1. We do understand the frustration caused by waiting on a Board's review of matters and decision on any action taken. Because Associations are comprised of homeowners, a board is elected to streamline the decision-making process a bit. These volunteers (and neighbors) are working hard to make the best decisions for all homeowners and the due diligence can take time.

  2. Sentry does not pay for any services, nor do we hire vendors.This is a function of the Association. We do work with the Board to assist with providing vendors direction, and through a review with the team we found that the fence project is ongoing, and maintenance is regularly scheduled. We will bring these concerns to the Board for review. 

  Sentry's purpose is nurturing communities we are all proud to call home. We value all of the homeowners we are privileged to serve. We are pleased that we are well respected in the community and will continue to provide exceptional service.
  
  We hope that this clarification helps.

  Order placed on 11 December 2024. I was looking for a SPECIFIC form VA F-38 needed for a refinance stating that my community was a 55-plus community. The form could not be found when searching for downloadable documents from their website. I downloaded "community closing documents" hoping the form I needed would be there. IT WAS NOT! I should have been contacted by that department explaining that this document WAS NOT AVAILABLE but was not. Their emails said "a community person would contact me" but none did or as of this writing! The names from these emails are: **** Morata and ***** **** who sent the initial emails from them indicating a "representative would contact me". None has. I spoke with our local community representative after three calls to him, Mr. ***** ****** who confirmed NO such form was available. What they sent me was community meeting information, not even closing documents. Their "moto" is a joke as they DO NOT come close to adhering to it. I requested a refund four times and have not received an email acknowledging the request nor has the refund been made. Let me add the following information concerning this company. Several years ago, I placed a formal complaint against then our community manager with Tallahassee and our current representative has been caught "lying" on several occasions to the community of 90 residents. This company remains a "bad apple" amounts the many other management companies that are available. There is NO reason a refund was not issued as requested since they could not fulfill my document request or should have immediately told me that this form was not available and immediately refunded the payment!!!

  Customer Answer

  Date: 12/27/2024

  Clarification. Amount of refund should be $34.95.

  Date of incident: 10 December 2024

  receipt of my email shows a return email confirmation as a reply from ***** **** and several others at Sentry Management: "We appreciate your email and the opportunity to assist. Your request has been referred to a Sentry Specialist who will contact you by phone or email"! This appeared on several return emails where I requested a refund. As of this date 27 December 2024, no such contact via email, or call has been received.

  I received a very brief email on 2 January 2025 requesting my refund information/account to refund to. However, no refund has been noted as of this date. The email was from a ******* ***** and I do not know what department he/she represents. Thank you!

  Date: 01/16/2025

  We understand the frustration this situation caused and while we disagree on the details of the chain of events and dispute the allegations made, we have submitted a refund request in the hopes of showing good faith. We are also reviewing the process in the hopes of identifying ways to improve.
  Our purpose is to nurture communities we are all proud to call home and our goal is to have satisfied homeowners. We look forward to moving forward on a positive note.

  I agreed to the refund as indicated however, as of this date 30 January 2025 no refund has been received by this company. Considering the timeline of this request, the acceptance, an email from Sentry requesting my refund information, I find this company is grossly ignoring fulfilling the obligation to refund this small amount. I again, request BBB for assistance in retrieving this refund from this company who does not seem to care about its presence on the marketplace. A negative response will be left on the web indicating the lack of caring, doing and fulfilling its obligations!!!

  If necessary, please reactivate this complain. Thank you.

  Yes, I finally received the refund check. It only took more than a month to get it. NOW. a new issue has surfaced. I got a charge of $25.00 thru ClickPay. I have contacted ******** and they could not respond what it was for. The copy attached was sent to them for research. This "fee" does not appear on the **************** does not appear on local management journals and I have NEVER used ClickPay to pay any outstanding bill. I have instructed ClickPay who handles Sentry's payments to either prove to me that this was a legitimate charge, who authorized it, description of what it was for and reverse it.

  They "act" as if they "really represent" the HOA's.COA that have their service

  1. Call backs when they do not call back

  2. Act as if they care about the people they represent - but don't

  3. Now finding money charged against my account without explanation, reason, and no journal entries showing the reason for a charge.

  4. I find them more vengeful then friendly. Contact with them is impossible as they have more "gate keepers" than trying to contact our president in **********!

  There website is erroneous, does not apply to the public as a company who care about having or wanting their business. This company is a sham on so many levels!!!

  *** at ************************* (Building 8)Over the past year, the care of this property has completely gone downhill. The only thing that is barely being done is the grass getting cut. The "landscapers" that got hired only cut the grass and nothing else. Does not manage the leaf pickup and will cut over the debris and trash that continues to accumulate around the property. Previously, we had landscapers who took pride in their work: like picking up trash, trimming the trees (taking over the views), and spraying/treating the areas when they were done. That has all completely stopped... which has led to more pests, roaches, and various snakes crawling all over the property. I have taken videos and photos of everything I've come in contact with and it's not enjoyable to walk around anymore. There are old pine needles (which attract roaches and snakes) that honestly needed to be removed and be replaced with something that doesn't allow things to nest. Mold is visibly growing onto the sidewalks near the stairway areas, leaving a foul odor where tenants have to enter our homes, which never get power washed but could certainly use it. There is pet waste and trash all over and not all of it is being blown from the dumpster. If this is not in the *** fee budget, it might be a great idea to start fining tenants for not cleaning up after themselves and their pets. To help utilize the cost of these concerns. Because getting tenants to just "volunteer" and clean up after adults is not a realistic approach when the property isn't being managed like it should.

  Business Response

  Date: 12/17/2024

  We understand the frustration and hope that some clarification of the role we play in the community may help. Sentry Management is not a property management company. We were privileged to have been hired by the board to assist them with the day-to-day administrative tasks association with managing a community. The Board of Directors is a group of hard-working volunteers who make the best decisions for all homeowners. We work at the direction of the Board and adhere to the agreement we have in place.

  In reviewing this year's history, we find that there was a transition in landscaping companies, but the Board, local Sentry team and the landscape vendor have worked diligently to identify and plan out projects to improve and beautify the community.

  We are aware of an issue with abandoned cars, which is addressed frequently.

  Power washing buildings is on schedule, 

  The trash and dumpster are a very serious issue that the Sentry team is working with the Board to address. Having rental units may contribute, as tenants may not take the time to properly dispose of their trash when vacating. There is also an issue with folks throwing tree limbs in places they werent supposed to be. There is no room to place a second garbage disposal, however, Sentry's maintenance department makes several extra trips a month at the direction of the board, to remove these bulky items around the garbage bins. 

  The annual meeting in October was poorly attended. We can see that this homeowner cares about the community and we encourage all homeowners to attend meeting and get involved.

  We appreciate the clarification.

  After reviewing this matter we found that the information provided to this homeowner has not changed.
  
  We presented information to the Board for reimbursement consideration. The Board determined that the complainant was not eligible for reimbursement. In a good faith effort, the Sentry team reached out to the towing company with an inquiry about reimbursement. They have not responded to our communication.

  We are not the decision makers for associations we are privileged to serve, and have made every effort to assist in this matter. If we do receive communication from the towing company we will reach out to the complainant, but are unable to assist further.

  Complaint: 22686656
  
  I am rejecting this response because: The property management company is responsible and acts on behalf of the association. The property management company authorized the towing and recovery company to operate on the property. The property management company is responsible for authorized contractors and to make sure they operate lawfully. State law requires appropriate signage be posted prior to towing any vehicle from private property. The property management blocked the required signage with Fall decorations. So Sentry blocked the required **** and authorized the towing company to operate. Therefore you illegally towed my rented vehicle. I am being reasonable in asking for a reimbursement. State law will provide more than the towing fees if a legal route is explored.

  On 8/25/24 part of the mailboxes fell off and hit the postal worker on their foot so they would not deliver our mail. **** had it repaired which lasted 2 days so the whole unit needed to be replaced. We had to pick up our mail at the post office. The post office gave us a letter stating as of 11/5 they would not hold our mail but return to sender. The.board approved a new unit in October and we were told it would take 2-3 weeks. On Monday it will 6 weeks and still nothing. There are 30 mailboxes that cannot receive mail.

  The mailboxes have been ordered at the direction of the Board. This did take some time, as determining the best contractor for the custom box proved difficult.

  This matter is not within our control, as we are not a property management company. Our role in the community lies more in the administrative management of the community. We assist the board as they work hard to make the best decisions for the homeowners.

  Both the Board and the local Sentry team appreciate the patience of all of the homeowners as this matter is resolved.

  30 residents in this condo complex has not received mail for over 60 days. The attachment I sent stated no one wants to do business with us because they are afraid of not getting paid. We have had to have our mail forwarded since Nov. 5 as the post office will no longer hold our mail for pick up. Is there some law that states that **** has to deliver our mail. Can we put mailboxes outside our doors or can Sentry be fined/punished for not providing mail boxes for 30 of their residents.

  Unfortunately, Sentry no longer serves your community as the Association Management Company, and we are unable to assist further.

  I am the Vice President of the *** for the ***************************** within the *********, ** area. We have had several issues with our property management and management team within the ***************** of Sentry Management, formally known as *** throughout the course of the year. They were in breach of contract for several different articles within our current contract. When we approached them about it, there was no sense of urgency to meet with us. As a matter of fact, they asked us to meet with them at their *************** rather than suggest a virtual meeting. An example of these breaches: They weren't doing property walks, which they're supposed to do on a monthly. They were driving the property for compliance one time per month, opposed to two. Our property manager was not getting 3 vendor quotes when needed. Our property manager was not submitting action item lists immediately following the meeting. We weren't receiving any at all. We purposely did not sign their updated Sentry contract, due to these exact issues. We sent them a request to terminate on Dec 3, 2024 which was more than enough time for them to allow us out of our contract. Articles 7.1 clearly state a 30-day notice is required to terminate. And our contract is until Jan 31, 2025. Article 7: Termination 7.1 On or before thirty (30) days prior ot the expiration of the initial term of AGREEMENT, either party shall notify the other ni writing that ti elects ot terminate this AGREEMENT, ni which case the AGREEMENT shall be terminated at the end of said ********* I'm not understanding how this company can tell us No, We're not allowed to cancel with them and we're now being contracted until Jan 31, 2026. Or why they'd want to keep us in contract if we're clearly not happy with them. We would just like to terminate our contract with them now without any fees or penalties. This way we can move forward with another company that may be better suited for our community.

  We will not address contract disputes in an online forum and are hopeful that this matter has been resolved by following the steps laid out in the agreement, or through Management within the local Sentry team.

  I am rejecting this response. We requested to cancel two times prior to submitting this complaint. We were told no both times. However, neither time did they make it a priority to reach out to us to find why we were wanting to cancel and how they could improve on their service for us. Yet, suddenly a complaint is submitted here and we get a call from them to the President only asking for a phone call. He didn't accept the phone call invite, since he wanted things to be tracked in black and white or within a zoom call. It's been almost 4 weeks since the original complaint was submitted and are now meeting with them this Friday. This complaint could have been better handled had they felt our original requests to cancel warrranted a phone call or meeting. But apparently they didn't. This is a pattern with them being non-responsive and showing that they don't really care about the consumers and the community of which they are supposed to be managing.
  
  Sincerely,
