I doubt we missed any front entrance rot.The upper back deck walls are hard to see from ground level-that's why we ask all owners to review their own unit every spring.Most just decide to leave it to us and then b**** if we **** something. Anyway, let me know what you find.On Jul 10, 2024, at 6:52PM, *********************** wrote: **** I have read your recent email about rot that was missed.I was the maintenance tech that did walk thru with BOD members. I will review next week and see about getting repairs completed.Not sure why they did not make list. I will get back to you with update. Thx you for your kind words about our staff.We are very happy with their work on the property.Thx you ***** CarterGreatNorth Maintenance Technician Initial email from me: Hi ************ wanted to reach out to let you know the guys who worked on our condo did an incredible job.I did want to point out a few items still needing attention that never made the list you sent.The rotting hole pictured is on the wall on the bottom of the upstairs outside balcony. This has been here since the giant hole in the beam.The entire front porch is rotted as well. Theres been a piece of wood that cracked over the Winter due to the rot.Weve put in requests for these to be repaired. ************ and a Great Property North guy was on site fairly recently after I sent my initial email to Great North to begin condo repair assessments. I was out there when the Great Property North guy stepped and pushed on the front porch and stated this is all rotted. The guys who worked here obviously didnt know these needed repair because theyre not on the list you sent.What is the time frame for these items to be repaired?Lastly, the guys worked HARD and did incredible work. Impeccable to say.We provided water and a pizza for them as they worked very hard and again, did a beautiful job!

I’m one of the owners at **** ******* ** ** ******, MA where Great or should I say NOT So Great North is the management company. We’ve been having all sorts of issues: heating, water leaks, overflowing trash bins, and most importantly financial. GN is ignoring ALL of them - especially the financial ones: no financial transparency whatsoever. All our requests, calls, and emails are ignored. Building managers are changing constantly, but problems remain the same- building is neglected along with its people. If you are looking for a new management company do yourself a favor avoid GN at all costs!

Hello, We have been residing at ** ****** ******* **, since 11/2016. We have never been late w/rent, we keep the place clean and do not put nails in walls. We do not bother anyone, and we do have friends that can vouch for us in regard to this. Not only that, but we feel that we are being targeted or harassed. We both are Seniors in our 60s. The Manager never answers her phone when I have called, except text or email or leave her a voicemail message. I have read the reviews and complaints about Great North Properties, and it's overwhelming! Please, someone call us so that we can defend ourselves. The last letter we received mentioned smoking, noise, moving the picnic table, which we did not. We went outside w/a tape measure and the table is 30' from the building and 35'from the other building. We are being accused of the table being closer than 25' which it is not. Furthermore, we both are tired of the accusations and being targeted, as I mentioned in this email. Sincerely, S & M

I'm an owner. 6 months after I move in they raise my dues 40 to 50 percent. I've called over 100x to ask why , emailed etc. They are hard to get ahold of over the phone and often will give no information, just a bunch of excuses such as : "I don't know, I'm not at my desk, I'll email you" etc. The emails never come. They will almost never put anything in writing so emailing is pretty useless. And they say the office is "closed to public". So basically the response is we will charge as much as we want. shut up and pay pleb! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! My questions are very basic. Like what are fees 2 thru 5 for and how are they determined, who is on the condo association board, where are the meetings held, etc. I am an owner and it has been a year. I had to stop paying just to get a breakdown of the fees because they wouldn't tell me over the phone. I have a lawyer who sent them a letter and I'm still in the dark. It's been 6 months at least of this. It's sickening. I told them I am willing to pay just explain where the money is going. They are a very shady company. I've never seen anything like it. And reading reviews online about this company, I am not alone. It seems like a big scam. They hire people who are hacks to maintain the property and they dont do anything to resolve any issues with the property maintenance. I almost got clotheslined by and extension cord coming around a corner during the roofing project. My wife got a flat tire from all the nails left from the construction workers and the landscapers who weed whack inches in front of our cars which damages our cars and kicks whatever nails and screws from the roofing job into the parking spaces. I told them for weeks I cant pick them all up, emailed pics/ videos, they dont care. Laundry machine isnt fixed a year later. There's no pool, no main living area. I don't understand why dues are 280 dollars for a 572 sq ft condo bascially a parking spot with a couple shrubs our front.

After re-reading the website their two statements, “your family to us & a difference you can trust,” does not hold true. We received a lot of lip service from the sales guy who was good at telling you what you want to hear. Once transitioned over to them, things of course over time changed. They do not treat us like family, we are just $$ to them. The company gives property managers to many sites to oversee, if there is an emergency there is no urgency to help the community. We found that the board did most of the work except the financial piece! Don’t get me started on this! All I can say is that an association who has enough money in reserves should have late fees for bills! When managing on site projects they get up to 6% of the cost to do the project yet the manager does not show up to make sure the actual company doing the work shows up! This company over promises and under delivers! Don’t let them fool you with video references etc. if your a small to medium association your just peanuts to them and last on the list to better your community. We were fooled don’t you be!
