We feel this Seabreeze Property Mangament company is incompetent and the company has caused serious issues in the community that we live in and have lived in for years.
In my opinion, the worst problem since they have come on is that our crime has increased because they are simply letting people enter though the gated community unauthorized. My neighbors on a small street have been robbed multiple times by individuals who have just driven into the gated and security guarded neighborhood.
We have done a test where we have friends go to the gate and give a name and say we are picking someone up and they just let us right in without even checking who they are or what house they are going to. Our previous company did an excellent job with friendly and efficient employees that performed their job well.
I am a busy individual, so for me to take the time to write this means this company delivers very poor service and should be terminated. I would NOT recommend Seabreeze Management Company to anyone, they are ineficient, incompotent and the management just passes you off if you try to call to let them know that you have been burglarized or that you keep getting text messages that they are letting people in who you never authorized to your private home in a gated community.
This company is the WORST! Let me count the ways...Our property has been under the dirty stronghold of nefarious management for years. Back when I bought my condo, it was the most beautiful place. But, it has become a roach motel ever since. Why? Because that’s when they took over. There are years of dried up dog feces in the stairwell. And we were assessed close to $2,000 for repairs, which were highly ineffective. Nothing’s been updated, and the things that have, are total zeroes when it comes to style and continuity. And the front lobby is an embarrassment, to say the least. It’s just nasty.
The walls are also dirty. And there are cheap signs posted that contain incorrect information. This company breaches its responsibility of its fiduciary duties on a regular basis. And the VP himself said this to me, and I quote: “We work only for the board. That’s the way it’s always been done”. And I say this to you, you and the board are causing our properties to be diminished in value by about $15 to $25K LOWER than any comps around.
The building has become a travesty. And without question, Sea Breeze Property Management is a “take the money and run” operation. And they should be ashamed of the havoc they’ve caused to hard working homeowners’ lives. In fact, I think that every Sea Breeze employee should have to be subjected to the same trash, pet feces, roach infestations, and the harassment that I and many others have dealt with over the years.
And THE BUILDING’S CURRENT BOARD PRESIDENT IS ALSO A FRAUD. Posting on Yelp that the company “terminated” the problem employee who was the real "issue." Not true. That employee RESIGNED!!!! The only employees who were fired were a security guard who was used to obtain private information that was then leaked by members of the current regime, as part of a successful attempt to bring down the previous incumbents, via anonymous letters that were a critical component of a smear campaign to rig the election!!!! Then, the board president conveniently got rid of him once he no longer served his purpose. They also relieved a former property manager that had to spend countless hour wasting our money looking through video footage for a resident doing push ups! When that employee was ultimately canned for questioning “indiscretions” he discovered in various documents and bills, that he felt, painted the current regime in an unscrupulous manner.
Now, an example of what got leaked brings us back to LISA DALE; (the owner of Sea Breeze). Because, one of the things that was uncovered, was that the prior governing board had removed Sea Breeze because, as I’ve mentioned, their work was unbelievably substandard. However, in order to effectuate that (due to an egregious contractual arrangement) it cost us $25,000. Oh, and it gets better. See, once the new board took over, Lisa then hustled and muscled us again, by creating yet another ridiculous arrangement with the newly elected board, to use her position of power of having just fleeced us for 25 grand, by agreeing to rework her deal, in order to get a new one.
So, what are we left with? A management company whose service is atrocious, and an ethically challenged governing board with incentives to continue providing us with minor league performance. Bottom line: they win. The residents lose. In every possible way. Which, in my opinion, is white collar crime. And it’s despicable.
Here is a list of what you CANNOT get with Sea Breeze Management.
1. Professionalism. Rather, it's the appearance of, or the lack of proper knowledge, that the employees do not just work for the board. They are supposed to attend to the entire association. They do not.
2. Proper Emergency Contact Numbers. The phone numbers are posted incorrectly.
3. Diligence. For example: getting a plumber when you're having a leak. In my case, I was simply 'passed off' to Sue in order for Sea Breeze to contact the house plumber. Completely and totally ineffective. Not to mention: useless.
4. Honesty. Sea Breeze hides all legal issues they're involved in re: lack of service.
5. Peace. I get daily letters from Sea Breeze harrassing me for little or no reason.
6.. A Proper HOA Bill. It's rarely on time and the reports lack accuracy..
7. Style Continuity. The building is a hodgepodge of colors. The elevator is this putrid green that clashes badly with the grey marble flooring. Black -- YES -- black paint on the outside of the building with patchy grey and faded brown. And the hallways are brown and contrasted with some other kind of dismal grey. Doors are neglected and chipping away...And don't even get me started on the pool!
In any event, after a call to Sea Breeze about a botched paint job (illustrated by splatters and areas that were completely ommitted) the issues were never addressed! All I got was a letter and a fine for a cardboard box that the house plumber left that had nothing to do with that.
And in yet another instance (there were severaI) I was put out of my home for a year because Sea Breeze failed to fulfill their responsibilities, by repairing the plumbing infrastructure in between my unit and the one above; nor did they efficiently rectify corresponding areas that had been severely damaged by airborne mold. In fact, I'm surprised there haven't been more related tenant illnesses or even deaths, for that matter. Because, if you ask me, It's a hazard zone.
8. Consistent Personnel. The turnover is like nothing I have ever seen. Call and ask for someone you spoke with one day, and the next, they might not be there AT ALL. RED FLAG. So, the comments of the employees being so helpful DO NOT MATTER when they could be leaving very soon, I promise you.
9. The Feeling Of Being Ripped Off. I assure you, the dues go up and your quality of life goes down.
10. A Pleasant Experience. ANYTIME you deal with this company, they treat you as if YOU are the problem. And I've simply come to the conclusion that it's because the real professonial workers of this industry work ELSEWHERE. Leaving Sea Breeze to have to quickly train first time employees. And they're miserable; blaming you when basic needs are requested, that they're just too green to comprehend. Resorting to backlash and personal attacks, instead of getting anything accomplished.
11. Cleanliness. Enough said, the place is fithy. And this even includes the lobby where the Sea Breeze employees sit. From crooked photos to cheap taped up signs to dried up dog feces in the stairwell. It resembles a broken down Junior High in every way. And this is the first experience someone would have when entering the building, and it is gross. Low rate, all the way. Get some class!
12. Poor Landscaping. My building has areas for mulch that now only contain dirt and various forms of debris -- including garbage. We've also got bamboo wires hanging down from broken lights. Begging the immediate question, "Where are you putting our money?" You raise our dues, and still the property looks horrible. And in regards to the repairs your "oversaw" on the roof, the pool still leaks after a $2000 assessment, and yet, the dues were still increased. Not to mention shoddy furniture in the lobby, a callbox that doesn't work, broken exercise equipment, etc. I mean, really, where is our money going? Because it's certainly not being spent on those things. FYI: this is how a building becomes a slum. And by the looks of things, Sea Breeze is doing a very good job posing as a slum lord.
13. Morals. Be glad if you're a security vendor that you do not work at my building, because you'd no longer have a job. After, of course, you were blatantly used to help cheat on a board election. Then, you'd be subjected to a nasty rumor that you and a tenant were having an "affair" and you'd be terminated, and even worse: end up living in a seedy gym similar to ours. Or, like another professional who told everyone in the industry how he crossed his T's and dotted his I's to keep his job as our Property Manager, only to get canned nonetheless, after a board member decided he didn't like him and told the owner of Sea Breeze to fire him, or they'd lose the account. And that only scratches the surface of this cheap and tawdry little tale. And trust me, these are all facts!
Bottom Line:
Take a pass! Nothing is overstated or made up as a joke. I understand why someone said they sold because they couldn't get outta here fast enough. Our building board and management team should be ashamed to cause such distress and ruin to peoples' lives with their disgusting behavior. Instead of giving hard working homeowners what they deserve, and what they've paid for. They should quit covering it up and being thieves, and get some dignity. It's a madhouse! To be avoided at all costs.
