Cannery Village Residents File Complaint With Delaware AG

MILTON, DE — A group of Cannery Village residents has filed complaints with the Attorney General’s Office claiming they are being wrongfully charged for maintenance in the community.

Concerned Citizens of Cannery Village, more than 150 residents, about 57 percent of all residents, have donated to the cause or signed documents in favor of the complaint.

Jason Miller, spokesman for the Attorney General’s Office, confirmed complaints have been received, but he could not comment further because an investigation is ongoing.

The Consumer Protections Unit in the Attorney General’s Fraud and Consumer Protection Division will review the complaint to determine if there is anything to take action on, he said.

In the complaint, the residents claim the developer, Chestnut Properties LLC, is charging them for unnecessary costs, while not contributing its portion. They also claim that because the community lies inside Milton town limits, they are being charged twice for snow removal and the cost of street lighting through taxes and additional charges from the developer.

not all residents are unhappy. All developers are struggling to some extent right now. We do need accountability from our HOA companies, both old and new, and since the sale of phase 3 we need to realign ourselves so we are not paying for ponds,etc, that are no longer in our community. Milton is a wonderful town and great place to live. All new HOA communities have issues that are usually resolved over time.
