The buildings have keyless entry systems and fire sprinklers. As with most older buildings (and newer ones) you will have problems. The building have flat roofs with a roof drainage system. If you know anything about flat roofs you will know that a leak is very difficult to locate in order to fix. Believe me Doug has been on top of the roof issue for a while and not just sitting idle collecting rent.<br />I can assure you that when a tenant has an issue Doug does his best to make it right. Sensational journalism just seems to get more attention rather than addressing the issues in a normal fashion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-46490630318147666362011-12-08T12:59:22.303-05:002011-12-08T12:59:22.303-05:008:51AM -

Go ahead and pick apart a rental property, but how about you start with the ones with REAL issues first.<br /><br />Notice how Joe didn't even respond to Anon 8:51's comment.

But reading here, it sounds like he's got connections.<br /><br />If this was Joe Albero, he'd get a ticket. If it's Tim Spies, he'd get a ticket.

His FEW properties (which are exactly 5 residential units and 2 commercial units)are among the nicest is Salisbury unlike those of other real slumlords in this City. A broken common entry door and apparently a leaky roof doesn't constitute a slumlord. Did the door lock to the actual unit not work?? Why wasn't that locked? Roof leaks are a PITA too. I personally had a roof leak at my own home that took several attempts over two months to fix. A lot of times it is extremely hard to find out where the water is coming from.<br /><br />On another note, THIS IS WHY DOWNTOWN WILL NEVER SUCCEED! The people investing money in that area are constantly under the microscope. Joe, I have a lot of respect for you, but your opinions and slanted views can certainly hinder progress. Unfortunately, a lot of the readers here are simply lemmings and will believe, whole heartedly, EVERYTHING you say whether it be right or wrong. Not to mention that half the comments left are lies from vindictive people.<br /><br />So tell me, do you want the Downtown Area to thrive or not? Or do you want to continue to blow out a story that you don't even have all the facts on? And trust me, you're missing a few. Doug is by far one of the top investors in the downtown area over the past decade and he did it at fair market value, not by robbing the City.<br /><br />Back off and dig a little deeper for the true storyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-75545429867027133022011-12-08T08:25:47.735-05:002011-12-08T08:25:47.735-05:00Joe, did you read the DT article on this today?

The first week I was there it rained and leaked. When I told Doug he said that once the stucco guy finished it should be ok. About a month later, the stucco guy finally came and finished and as soon as it rained the leak was just as bad..it took a couple of weeks to get the roofers out to "re-access" the problem. That was about a month ago and nothing has been done. Meanwhile everytime it rains I am left to clean up puddles in 4 areas of my apt where it is leaking. I was informed today that the roofers are supposed to be out tomorrow to make repairs. My refrigerator is leaking internally from the ice maker line I believe and after 3 months nothing has been done about that either. I am frusterated to say the least and pay too much money to have these types of problems.
