Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because I would like to leave this conversation as part of the public records against the business.This is the second time of the water loss occurred in my unit, the first time MrOmar G***, facility manager, advised me the repair should costs about $7000-$and finally came back as $1600, I should realize that Omar G [redacted] has no experience with handling water loss(This was documented with [redacted] Claim # [redacted] With regards to the concern #2: [redacted] from [redacted] also inspected the damage of my unit, he believes the entire process of the repair shouldn't takes more than weeks, when MrG [redacted] also advised me on Sep 10, 2015, that the entire process should takes no longer than one monthWith his statement I should be able to move back by Oct 11, Later on, when MrG [redacted] advised me that if I can approve them to work on the fire stopping work in my unit, with the water damage repair, he promised that WILL NOT delay the process of the repairI am now disappointed that now it came back as the water damage repair has been delayed because of the fire stopping work.With regards to concern #3, Mike H***, Community Association Manager, promised me multiple times that he will give me an update once available, but he never do so since Oct 7, 2015, when MrG [redacted] advised me on Sep 10, 2015, that:"...you don't need to move out as soon as possible, but I want it to be happened in the next two days", that is the time I have moved out over night because two days later (which is Sep 13, 2015) I will be in CaliforniaIt came back as the repair did not start until Sep 29, The most frustrated thing is when I asked MrG [redacted] on Sep 21, 2015, for the reason why it has been delayed so long that I have already moved out per his instruction but they still haven't start any repair yet, he responded that: "...I need to correct my earlier statement, I meant to say 'one month' is the turn around time of the paperwork, and I am unable to give you a timeline nor completion date..." On the same day, MrH [redacted] responded to my inquiry by email that: "...I expect the demolition of your flooring to begin after the adjuster has a chance to review the unit That would definitely necessitate you moving out of the unit.", which means he is in support of MrG***'s decision into asking me to move out right after the incident has been occurred.With regards to concern #4, I did copy & paste the complaint because by given the fact none of the board members, nor the facility manager response to my complaintI have no choice other than copy & paste it to Revdex.com, asking CWD Group to response it in this channel, and leave it as part of the public recordsBased on these factors, I believe Omar G [redacted] did not take in any good faith into the water loss and also, he has lack of experience into this type of incidentWith his lack of experience, and misleading instruction, in results of:(1) Move out DOES NOT need to be happened by Sep 13, 2015, as the insurance paper work didn't get approved until Sep 28, 2015.(2) Fire stopping work DOES delay the water damage repair work, and since it has been delayed, MrG***'s statement was incorrect that the fire stopping work will not delay of the water damage repairIf I would know the fire stopping work will delay the water damage repair, I wouldn't approve this type of work as this would prevent me return back home as early as possible.Sincerely, [redacted] **

Responses to the three questions are below IN CAPS for clarity: Paul DG***, CMCA®, AMS®, PCAM® Director of Education & Client Engagement ***@cwdgroup.com What is the result of the investigation by the consulting company regarding our windows' damage claim? A DETAILED REPORT BY THE CONSULTANT FIRM ENGAGED BY THE ASSOCIATION WAS DEVELOPED SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND PROVIDED BOTH TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE COMPLAINANT THERE HAVE BEEN ON GOING INVESTIGATIONS AT THIS ASSOCIATION AND IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT THE COMPLAINANT WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ON-GOING NATURE OF BUILDING ENVELOPE AND GLASS ISSUES AFFECTING THE BUILDING Why didn't the building follow up with us either with the results of the investigation or scheduled an additional inspection if it was required? IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING FROM EMAILS THAT WERE PROVIDED TO US AND THE BOARD THAT SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT FOLLOW UP WERE INITIATED BUT WERE MET WITH RESISTANCE REQUESTING LARGE LEAD TIMES FOR ACCESS TO THE UNIT TO COMPLETE SUCH FOLLOW UP INSPECTION What is the current status of our windows' damage claim? THERE CONTINUE TO BE MULTIPLE ISSUES THAT THE ASSOCIATION IS INVESTIGATING AND TO OUR KNOWLEDGE OTHER THAN ADVISING THAT THE WINDOW WASHERS DID NOT CAUSE THE ALLEGED DAMAGE, THE CLAIMS OVERALL FOR GLASS ISSUES REMAIN OPEN AND UNDER INVESTIGATION BY THE ASSOCIATION
All complaints made directly to CWD Group and to the [redacted] Board of Directors are fully investigated and responded to by taking appropriate action Since we are being addressed on an interaction that occurred years prior to today, it is difficult to state what had occurred between these two individuals (at that time) Any resident has the ability to contact CWD Group and speak to the Building Community Association Manager about concerns related to on-site staff In conjunction with our policies and procedures regarding disciplinary investigations the situation will be addressed We strongly encourage this individual and any other resident to reach out to us with concerns about past or current behaviorResidents are also welcomed to the monthly Board meeting where they can present concerns directly to the board about building practices The building management team works under the direction and guidance of the Board of DirectorsFor the resident; we can just inform this individual that we can review the information and discuss with the remaining building leaders the situation Jim has already given notice to the building, and the remaining days, we don’t feel requires disciplinary action
Revdex.com, If the text below does not format properly or the entire response does not go through due to a character limit, please correct it manually as in the attached PDF or WORD documentsThank you.June 29th, 2017TO: Revdex.com.RE: Rebuttal of The CWD Group responses to my complaints filed against them.I filed two complaints: one for defamation/retaliation, and one for mismanaging our windows damage claim The business responded incorrectly to both complaints under the windows damage complaint I provide my responses below each of their statements IDEFAMATION/RETALIATION COMPLAINT Business wrote: “CWD Group has inspected the message referenced in the complaint and find nothing defamatory contained within, rather, an advisory to staff to note how to properly enter the unit in question **The notice on the unit account was occasioned by a first anonymous email sent to building staff that was properly responded to at each level of email received from complainant well over three years ago.” FALSE The message was written in retaliation to a valid complaint It is defamatory, malicious and highly offensive to me.The offending message states:“Anonymous emailsThreatening and demanding regarding security concerns”.The message sends a message and is highly offensive to me It servers no other purpose than to retaliate against me for bringing forth security flaws I asked many times to remove it.My messages were neither anonymous nor threatening Evidence was provided The manager had never responded to the questions in my emails He dismissed my complaint at each attempt Business wrote: “The advisory noted is a private, internal building system that is used by staff only and is not part of the internet’s wider access and in no way is public.” FALSE The "advisory" is written as a warning and is available to all association and building employees, including the concierge, the police and other authorized agencies to review The "advisory" is a warning and serves no other purpose than to retaliate, cause a distress to the homeowner, and to publicly and deliberately smear my character to everyone who reads it It is highly offensive to me I demand that the message is removed Business wrote: “ [redacted] was on the cusp of, and has subsequently completed in the last three years, a security enhancement that had addressed the initial concerns of the complainant and spent approximately $200K to achieve these resultsThe complainant wished security to be enhanced within the building Such as been completed“ FALSE The building let the thefts continue for years I complained about the punch code access system right after we bought our condo years ago The building was not "on the cusp" on changing it They retaliated against me for complaining and waited more years until many more thefts occurred to do exactly what I had suggested The improvements were implemented just year ago, not years ago as the business claims The $200K of CONDO FUNDS that was OVERSPENT is enormous and opens another issues of wasting our money For that amount not much has been done Only the code should have been disabled The key-fob system had already been in place The building replaced the entire system wasting building funds instead of just disabling the punch in codeIIMISMANAGING OUR WINDOWS DAMAGE CLAIM COMPLAINT Business wrote: “A detailed window inspection and reporting process was undertaken to address scratching of unit glass Access to complainant unit was not provided, however similar adjacent units were inspected by a reputable architectural/engineering firm with results provided to the board for any further action, if any Due to the nature of the window issue, association hired counsel to represent building interests and to assist a facilitated conclusion to the event The complainant wishes resolution to a window scratching matter, yet failed to allow access for full inspection by a reputable firm three years ago Full investigation had been completed on the matter.”FALSE The business is doing everything they can to dismiss our damage claim They called it a "concern" instead of "damage" Access to the unit was provided The damage has been very well documented with scratch locations and very detailed pictures All documentation was forwarded to the consulting firmCWD Group defended the contractor, that they hired, when they caused damage to our unit The windows were inspected once CWD Group provided us with zero days’ notice for the second inspection We were not available that day We provided all documentation with detailed images to the consulting group instead and invited them for inspection on a different day The building manager (J.D) sent us an email confirmation that he forwarded it to the consulting firm as well The building project manager (a different person) wrote to us that they would contact us if they need it The [redacted] Management has NEVER followed up Evidence was provided We did not close or authorize anyone to close our damage claimThe building has no right to close it on our behalf without notifying us The CWD GROUP mismanaged our damage claim Business wrote: “In response to the complaints, the building manager completes his tenure at [redacted] this Friday and has elected to take employment elsewhere While his departure was not occasioned by the complaints that were filed, management has taken the time to investigate to be able to appropriately respond to the Revdex.com.” FALSE The business did not resolve any of the two complaints They wrote untrue responses in an attempt to cover up their wrongdoing Business wrote: “The complainant requests a letter of apology No such letter will be forthcoming as there is nothing to apologize for or remove from a needed building asset there for the benefit of all residents.” The CWD GROUP and its employees seem to forget that we, through our condo assessment fees, pay for their services and salaries We expect that they are professional, courteous, and represent our interests Instead, they retaliate against us when we complain, refuse to enact remedies when it is the right thing to do, and ignore us Business wrote: “CWD Group believe we have fully responded in a proper, specific fashion concerning the three complaints brought to your attention CWD Group’s business model is based on a delivery of outstanding customer service which we provide on a daily basis Receiving complaints from well over months ago, wherein the basis for such have no relevance today, result in the responses we have provided above.” FALSE CWD Group did not resolve any of our complaintsThey dismissed all complaints, misrepresented us, and retaliated against us because we complained about their unprofessionalism They maintain websites where they defame, retaliate and offend homeowners.Regards, [redacted] Resident
Per Revdex.com requirement, the company “The CDW Group” is referred to in this document as “The Business”.The Business has not responded to this issue, and our other Revdex.com complaints, in good faith, and has not resolved any of themThe Business has never replied to any of our rebuttals despite our providing them with evidence showing that their statements were either untrue or inaccurate Instead, The Business closed each Revdex.com complaint promptly without further reply We have recently asked the Board of Directors of Bellevue Towers for help and provided them with detailed evidenceThe Board of Directors is currently investigating the situation, at our request, not because The Business voluntarily involved them.The Business states: "this has been the first indications of dissatisfaction from the owner occasioned we believe by the departure of the former building manager"We sent enough emails expressing our dissatisfaction about handling our damage claim in the first months after the damage had occurredThe emails were addressed to the manager, his assistant, the association and other company employees The manager and the project manager assured us that our damage claim was being handled and that they were taking the appropriate steps to resolve it Does The Business think that we should have been sending them emails every week to tell them that we thought that they were lying to us? We waited patiently until it came to our attention that the building manager is quitting his job, leaving our windows damage claim unresolved.The Business states: "Bellevue Towers personnel along with The CWD Group have looked at the circumstances of the claim submission." The Business is referring to the timeline of our Revdex.com complaint submission coinciding with the departure of the building manager and is trying to hold it against us for some unknown reasonThis absolutely makes no senseSince we have begun the complaint process, The Business has been trying to use all sorts of excuses to either blame us for their own mistakes or to divert subjects of our complaints into some other irrelevant matters, such as this one.This is similar to the building manager's response when I raised concerns about building security flaws and his choice to ignore the issueInstead of focusing on the matter that I complained about, he focused on me and retaliated against me with his defamatory note that he posted on the company website with the explicit goal to discredit and tarnish my reputation with all association employees and anyone else who has access to it.The building manager's sudden notice of departure prompted us to seek out more avenues for resolving our complaints We wanted to give The Business the opportunity to investigate and question the building manager before his departureThe building manager delayed the resolution of our damage claim for almost three years until he terminated his employment and the matter became no longer his concern We wanted to ensure that The Business was able to crosscheck our statements with the departing manager regarding the windows damage claim and the defamation/retaliation complaintsThe Business and its executives cannot be excused from followiand following-through with the ongoing issues (that they already know about), simply because the building manager that they hired no longer works for them or because a long time has passed since the claim was first reportedThe damage claim is still in effect, the damage still exists and nothing has changedThe Business is liable for both the damage to our windows, mismanaging the claim and the defamation/retaliation matter.In this Revdex.com complaint, we asked The Business to provide answers to specific questionsThe Business continues to refuse to respondWe, the condo owners have paid The Business over $in assessment fees over a period of yearsWe continue to pay them over $every monthThe Business does not do their job that we pay them to doThey not only mismanaged our damage claim but also defamed me when I raised concerns about their job performance.The purpose of this complaint was to obtain a response to questions in our email that we sent to the building manager, the project manager and the company executivesWe are awaiting answers to these specific questions from The BusinessWe asked The Business directly to provide a written response to these questionsAny separate investigations by the Board of Directors cannot be used by The Business as an excuse for not replying to our questions This Revdex.com complaint is not resolved until the answers are provided.The questions asked were:Given that the building manager had sent our detailed documentation and pictures of the damage to the consulting company and the project manager and had said that he would follow up with us, if needed, please respond to the following:What is the result of the investigation by the consulting company regarding our windows' damage claim? Why didn't the building follow up with us either with the results of the investigation or scheduled an additional inspection if it was required? What is the current status of our windows' damage claim?Regards, Bellevue Towers ResidentSouth Tower
In response to the complaint received, below are the facts concerning the issue with the complainant - these have been provided through the community manager, MrH*** Here are the facts: [redacted] settled theirconstruction defect lawsuits and the building-wide remediation work is startingthis week [redacted] is doing that work and they are startingon the top floor (13) and working their way down The project is expectedto take a year Every unit will need some demolition and repairs (especiallyto repair the fire-stopping) This is what I am talking about when I saw“remediation” instead of “repairs.” Back in September,there was a water loss (drain back-up) that affected [redacted] anda couple units below The flooring in [redacted] and some of the partywall would need to come out [redacted] responded to the loss byinstalling fans and dehumidifiers in the units We opted to hold off onflooring removal until we got repair bids A claim was filed on themaster policy and we had two contractors bid the repair work The Boardapproved [redacted] to proceed with the repairs and requested we askthe owners if they wished to proceed with the remediation work now instead oflater Unit [redacted] agreed and [redacted] (remediation liaison) wasnotified The remediation work is expected to be done by Wednesday ofthis week Once that is done, [redacted] “insurance crew” will be able tocomplete the water loss repairs, which are and have been underway [redacted] estimates that the repairs will be done by the end of October(flooring, drywall, cabinets, painting, clean-up), as early as 10/ Ijust spoke with [redacted] from [redacted] and he has been in contactwith [redacted] about the schedulea There was a miscommunication between the [redacted] remediation and repair crews one day thatresulted in the repair crews being turned away, which was resolved that sameday (according to [redacted] ***) The remediation work was alreadyunderway and demanding that they stop would only delay the project Bothcrews are now and have been working in tandem [redacted] did file apersonal insurance claim to cover the move-out of his personal items and hotelstay He did move-out of the unit prior to the flooring removal and heclaims that the Facility Manager asked him to move out sooner than what mayhave been necessary I have not investigated that claim, though I suspectOmar simply told him that he would need to move out due to the loss and theowner may have misinterpreted the urgency I plan to have a conversationwith the Facility Manager about this during our weekly meeting on Thursday Regarding the complaint about not allowing the owner with access to his unit, [redacted] sent anote to the Board with a copy-and-paste of the Revdex.com complaint on 10/ Ispoke with the Facility Manager about it and here is what he said, in summary:a The owner arrived in the evening to check on hisunit and use the bathroomThe water had been shut-off to the unit by [redacted] as they completed the remediation work He went down to the desk and toldthem his toilet was not working The staff phoned the FM and he told themto say that he cannot touch the plumbing until [redacted] said it was safe to doso (since we didn’t know why [redacted] had shut off the water) He said totell [redacted] that he could use the common area restrooms in the meantimeThestaff relayed that message, but it is possible it was misinterpreted to meanthat he was not allowed to use his unit.b The Facility Manager wrote the owner on 10/9:“It appears that there was a miscommunication that occurred last night that I’dlike to clear upYes, you have access to your condo during the construction.That said; you may not turn the water back on or use the plumbing unless [redacted] deems it safe to do so ” The owner responded: “Themessage I got last night from ***, as one of the concierge that: "...Ihave called [redacted] about that, he told me that because you are not allow to getinto the construction site, but he said you are more than welcome to use thecommon area of the building" If I interpret it correctly, that meansI am not suppose to be in my home, right?” To which the FM responded:“Again; you have access to your condo but may not turn the water back on or usethe plumbing unless [redacted] deems it safe to do so.”As of today these are all the facts concerning this situation The manager, Facility Manager and the board have been most forthright given the situation and we are addressing as swiftly and appropriately as possible Please contact me directly should additional information be required Thank you very much.Paul [redacted] G***Director of Education and Client EngagementCWD Group, Inc
The business continues to not answer our questions In their response, the business made numerous and misleading statements that portray us, the complainant, as not credible in front of Revdex.com, the board of directors, and the association employees, openian entirely new issue of defamation We demand that the business provides evidence to support their claims Absent of such evidence, the business is required to correct their statements with every party they misinformed and write us a letter of apology.Our reply is provided under each business' response:Question WE ASKED: What is the result of the investigation by the consulting company regarding our windows' damage claim? BUSINESS: “A detailed report by the consultant firm engaged by the association was developed several years ago and provided both to the board of directors and the complainant.”OUR REPLY: We have never received this report as the business FALSELY claimsWe asked for it in this complaintWe asked for the report the building manager, building project manager, the executives of the business and those who respond to this complaintThe business continues to refuse to provide us with the report We would not be demanding to see it if we had it We demand to see the evidence that the building has already provided us with this report We ask that the business sends us a copy of the consultant's report regarding our windows.BUSINESS: “There have been on going investigations at this association and it is our understanding that the complainant was made aware of the on-going nature of building envelope and glass issues affecting the building“ OUR REPLY: We have never been made aware of any "glass related issues" affecting the buildingQuestion WE ASKED: Why didn't the building follow up with us either with the results of the investigation or scheduled an additional inspection if it was required? BUSINESS: “It is our understanding from emails that were provided to us and the board that several attempts at follow up were initiated but were met with resistance requesting large lead times for access to the unit to complete such follow up inspection“OUR REPLY: This is ENTIRELY FALSE No follow up attempts were made to contact us for another inspection after their original failed attempt due to their unreasonably short notice, after weeks of silence on the issue The building HAD NEVER MADE ANY ATTEMPT TO FOLLOW UP OR CONTACT US ANY FURTHER regarding our windows damage claim WE HAD NEVER REQUESTED FOR ANY SPECIFIC LEAD TIMES TO ACCESS OUR UNITExpecting us to be suddenly available with one business day notice for a non-emergency access is unreasonable We are a private residence, not an office or a commercial entity with office hours We demand to see the evidence that the building attempted to contact us for a follow up inspection and the evidence that we resisted such attempts by requesting “large lead times” for access after their first failed attempt We want to see the evidence that the building attempted to contact us AT ALL regarding our windows damage claim after their promise to follmade by the project manager in his email sent on: 2014-12- We demand to see the emails that the business claims it has that indicate that the building made follow up attempts.The consulting company has been visiting the building on numerous occasions investigating construction faults under the warranty claim against the developer The management had a lot of opportunity to ask them to inspect our windows at another date, should that have been necessary As previously mentioned, we provided our documentation and detailed pictures of the damage to the consulting company, independent of any physical inspection that was or was not requestedWe are the ones who have struggled and continue to struggle through a great “resistance” from the business to move our damage claim forward We had to file numerous Revdex.com complaints to get the business to respond and complained to the Board of Directors about the business.Question WE ASKED: What is the current status of our windows' damage claim? BUSINESS: “There continue to be multiple issues that the association is investigating ” OUR REPLY: The business creates multiple issues in order to sidetrack, confuse and obstruct filing of our damage claim The business had nearly three years to investigate and file our damage claim against the contractorThree years was more than enough time.BUSINESS: “and to our knowledge other than advising that the window washers did not cause the alleged damage..” OUR REPLY: We conducted an independent investigation and have a determination letter from an expert with years of experience in the window glass industry stating that the scratch damage was caused by the window washers We have provided this determination letter to the Board of Directors I witnessed the windows being physically scratched with my own eyes as the window washers cleaned the windows and I immediately emailed the building manager reporting the damageThey came to inspect the windows the next day The building manager and his assistant were defending the contractor without any investigations or research, in a breach of their fiduciary duty to represent the best interest of the homeowner The business is determined to defend their window washing contractor and assign the blame to the developer under warranty claim for construction defects regardless of what we had witnessed During the immediate inspection, the building manager argued with me and claimed that the window washers replace their dirty water with hard dirt particles as they descend to lower levels That is not true They never replace their dirty water which contains hard particles that get trapped in their sponge and drag across the glass scratching glass The window washers are also responsible for following the glass manufacturer guidelines during their initial window washing in order to prevent any glass manufacturing debris from attaching to their tools and scratching the glass All scratches old and new on the exterior window surface are their responsibility Due to the location of our unit on a high floor, only the window washers had access to itThe building and the association had almost three years to file the claim and recover damages that are owed to us Thus far, there has been no progress other than an effort to find ways to make our claim invalid or expired such as scheduling unreasonably short notice for an inspection, never following up as promised or by making make statements that we resisted further attempts for follow up inspections as evidenced above.BUSINESS: “..the claims overall for glass issues remain open and under investigation by the association“OUR REPLY: The business refers to the general warranty claim against the developer for "glass issues" as remaining open, but refuses to respond about the status of OUR windows' damage claim Our question about the status of our damage claim remains unanswered.We paid the business in the past years in assessment fees They refuse to do their job and do not perform their fiduciary duty which requires the property manager to always act in the best interests of the homeowner The business responds in bad faith with statements This sidetracks, distracts and confuses every party involved Bellevue Towers ResidentSouth Tower
Complaint: [redacted] The current manager has not left the company yetHe is still at his office and is paid by our assessment fee duesI am asking the business to contact the current manager to resolve thisI have all email communications with the manager retained as evidenceThe fact that his defamatory note has remained in the company system for three years makes it even worse as it has been seen by many people during that timeThe manager has entered his defamatory and retaliatory note secretly and the existence of it has not been known to me until recently Evidence of email interactions is available and none of it is lost or expired as the business suggestsThere were no off-the-record communications with the manager via phone or in person
Revdex.com: One final update, unless there is another response from the business that warrants a reply The construction work that was basis for opening this complaint has been completedIf you wouldn't mind changing the status from 'needs resolution' to a 'share with others' type of status, I would appreciate itor, let me know if I should do anything elseThanks for your assistance, you have been most responsive ***
Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: Attached is the correspondence between Jeff D [redacted] of CWD Group Incand [redacted] concerning the removal of the HVAC to continue construction Jeff D [redacted] used the bylaws and declarations in his response He also highlights and uses the bylaws and declaration The construction bid is completely separate from any of the bylaws etc Sincerely, [redacted] ***
Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because I would like to leave this conversation as part of the public records against the business.This is the second time of the water loss occurred in my unit, the first time MrOmar G***, facility manager, advised me the repair should costs about $7000-$and finally came back as $1600, I should realize that Omar G [redacted] has no experience with handling water loss(This was documented with [redacted] Claim # [redacted] With regards to the concern #2: [redacted] from [redacted] also inspected the damage of my unit, he believes the entire process of the repair shouldn't takes more than weeks, when MrG [redacted] also advised me on Sep 10, 2015, that the entire process should takes no longer than one monthWith his statement I should be able to move back by Oct 11, Later on, when MrG [redacted] advised me that if I can approve them to work on the fire stopping work in my unit, with the water damage repair, he promised that WILL NOT delay the process of the repairI am now disappointed that now it came back as the water damage repair has been delayed because of the fire stopping work.With regards to concern #3, Mike H***, Community Association Manager, promised me multiple times that he will give me an update once available, but he never do so since Oct 7, 2015, when MrG [redacted] advised me on Sep 10, 2015, that:"...you don't need to move out as soon as possible, but I want it to be happened in the next two days", that is the time I have moved out over night because two days later (which is Sep 13, 2015) I will be in CaliforniaIt came back as the repair did not start until Sep 29, The most frustrated thing is when I asked MrG [redacted] on Sep 21, 2015, for the reason why it has been delayed so long that I have already moved out per his instruction but they still haven't start any repair yet, he responded that: "...I need to correct my earlier statement, I meant to say 'one month' is the turn around time of the paperwork, and I am unable to give you a timeline nor completion date..." On the same day, MrH [redacted] responded to my inquiry by email that: "...I expect the demolition of your flooring to begin after the adjuster has a chance to review the unit That would definitely necessitate you moving out of the unit.", which means he is in support of MrG***'s decision into asking me to move out right after the incident has been occurred.With regards to concern #4, I did copy & paste the complaint because by given the fact none of the board members, nor the facility manager response to my complaintI have no choice other than copy & paste it to Revdex.com, asking CWD Group to response it in this channel, and leave it as part of the public recordsBased on these factors, I believe Omar G [redacted] did not take in any good faith into the water loss and also, he has lack of experience into this type of incidentWith his lack of experience, and misleading instruction, in results of:(1) Move out DOES NOT need to be happened by Sep 13, 2015, as the insurance paper work didn't get approved until Sep 28, 2015.(2) Fire stopping work DOES delay the water damage repair work, and since it has been delayed, MrG***'s statement was incorrect that the fire stopping work will not delay of the water damage repairIf I would know the fire stopping work will delay the water damage repair, I wouldn't approve this type of work as this would prevent me return back home as early as possible.Sincerely, [redacted] **

Responses to the three questions are below IN CAPS for clarity: Paul DG***, CMCA®, AMS®, PCAM® Director of Education & Client Engagement ***@cwdgroup.com What is the result of the investigation by the consulting company regarding our windows' damage claim? A DETAILED REPORT BY THE CONSULTANT FIRM ENGAGED BY THE ASSOCIATION WAS DEVELOPED SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND PROVIDED BOTH TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE COMPLAINANT THERE HAVE BEEN ON GOING INVESTIGATIONS AT THIS ASSOCIATION AND IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT THE COMPLAINANT WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ON-GOING NATURE OF BUILDING ENVELOPE AND GLASS ISSUES AFFECTING THE BUILDING Why didn't the building follow up with us either with the results of the investigation or scheduled an additional inspection if it was required? IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING FROM EMAILS THAT WERE PROVIDED TO US AND THE BOARD THAT SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT FOLLOW UP WERE INITIATED BUT WERE MET WITH RESISTANCE REQUESTING LARGE LEAD TIMES FOR ACCESS TO THE UNIT TO COMPLETE SUCH FOLLOW UP INSPECTION What is the current status of our windows' damage claim? THERE CONTINUE TO BE MULTIPLE ISSUES THAT THE ASSOCIATION IS INVESTIGATING AND TO OUR KNOWLEDGE OTHER THAN ADVISING THAT THE WINDOW WASHERS DID NOT CAUSE THE ALLEGED DAMAGE, THE CLAIMS OVERALL FOR GLASS ISSUES REMAIN OPEN AND UNDER INVESTIGATION BY THE ASSOCIATION
All complaints made directly to CWD Group and to the [redacted] Board of Directors are fully investigated and responded to by taking appropriate action Since we are being addressed on an interaction that occurred years prior to today, it is difficult to state what had occurred between these two individuals (at that time) Any resident has the ability to contact CWD Group and speak to the Building Community Association Manager about concerns related to on-site staff In conjunction with our policies and procedures regarding disciplinary investigations the situation will be addressed We strongly encourage this individual and any other resident to reach out to us with concerns about past or current behaviorResidents are also welcomed to the monthly Board meeting where they can present concerns directly to the board about building practices The building management team works under the direction and guidance of the Board of DirectorsFor the resident; we can just inform this individual that we can review the information and discuss with the remaining building leaders the situation Jim has already given notice to the building, and the remaining days, we don’t feel requires disciplinary action

you.June 29th, 2017TO: Revdex.com.RE: Rebuttal of The CWD Group responses to my complaints filed against them.I filed two complaints: one for defamation/retaliation, and one for mismanaging our windows damage claim The business responded incorrectly to both complaints under the windows damage complaint I provide my responses below each of their statements IDEFAMATION/RETALIATION COMPLAINT Business wrote: “CWD Group has inspected the message referenced in the complaint and find nothing defamatory contained within, rather, an advisory to staff to note how to properly enter the unit in question **The notice on the unit account was occasioned by a first anonymous email sent to building staff that was properly responded to at each level of email received from complainant well over three years ago.” FALSE The message was written in retaliation to a valid complaint It is defamatory, malicious and highly offensive to me.The offending message states:“Anonymous emailsThreatening and demanding regarding security concerns”.The message sends a message and is highly offensive to me It servers no other purpose than to retaliate against me for bringing forth security flaws I asked many times to remove it.My messages were neither anonymous nor threatening Evidence was provided The manager had never responded to the questions in my emails He dismissed my complaint at each attempt Business wrote: “The advisory noted is a private, internal building system that is used by staff only and is not part of the internet’s wider access and in no way is public.” FALSE The "advisory" is written as a warning and is available to all association and building employees, including the concierge, the police and other authorized agencies to review The "advisory" is a warning and serves no other purpose than to retaliate, cause a distress to the homeowner, and to publicly and deliberately smear my character to everyone who reads it It is highly offensive to me I demand that the message is removed Business wrote: “ [redacted] was on the cusp of, and has subsequently completed in the last three years, a security enhancement that had addressed the initial concerns of the complainant and spent approximately $200K to achieve these resultsThe complainant wished security to be enhanced within the building Such as been completed“ FALSE The building let the thefts continue for years I complained about the punch code access system right after we bought our condo years ago The building was not "on the cusp" on changing it They retaliated against me for complaining and waited more years until many more thefts occurred to do exactly what I had suggested The improvements were implemented just year ago, not years ago as the business claims The $200K of CONDO FUNDS that was OVERSPENT is enormous and opens another issues of wasting our money For that amount not much has been done Only the code should have been disabled The key-fob system had already been in place The building replaced the entire system wasting building funds instead of just disabling the punch in codeIIMISMANAGING OUR WINDOWS DAMAGE CLAIM COMPLAINT Business wrote: “A detailed window inspection and reporting process was undertaken to address scratching of unit glass Access to complainant unit was not provided, however similar adjacent units were inspected by a reputable architectural/engineering firm with results provided to the board for any further action, if any Due to the nature of the window issue, association hired counsel to represent building interests and to assist a facilitated conclusion to the event The complainant wishes resolution to a window scratching matter, yet failed to allow access for full inspection by a reputable firm three years ago Full investigation had been completed on the matter.”FALSE The business is doing everything they can to dismiss our damage claim They called it a "concern" instead of "damage" Access to the unit was provided The damage has been very well documented with scratch locations and very detailed pictures All documentation was forwarded to the consulting firmCWD Group defended the contractor, that they hired, when they caused damage to our unit The windows were inspected once CWD Group provided us with zero days’ notice for the second inspection We were not available that day We provided all documentation with detailed images to the consulting group instead and invited them for inspection on a different day The building manager (J.D) sent us an email confirmation that he forwarded it to the consulting firm as well The building project manager (a different person) wrote to us that they would contact us if they need it The [redacted] Management has NEVER followed up Evidence was provided We did not close or authorize anyone to close our damage claimThe building has no right to close it on our behalf without notifying us The CWD GROUP mismanaged our damage claim Business wrote: “In response to the complaints, the building manager completes his tenure at [redacted] this Friday and has elected to take employment elsewhere While his departure was not occasioned by the complaints that were filed, management has taken the time to investigate to be able to appropriately respond to the Revdex.com.” FALSE The business did not resolve any of the two complaints They wrote untrue responses in an attempt to cover up their wrongdoing Business wrote: “The complainant requests a letter of apology No such letter will be forthcoming as there is nothing to apologize for or remove from a needed building asset there for the benefit of all residents.” The CWD GROUP and its employees seem to forget that we, through our condo assessment fees, pay for their services and salaries We expect that they are professional, courteous, and represent our interests Instead, they retaliate against us when we complain, refuse to enact remedies when it is the right thing to do, and ignore us Business wrote: “CWD Group believe we have fully responded in a proper, specific fashion concerning the three complaints brought to your attention CWD Group’s business model is based on a delivery of outstanding customer service which we provide on a daily basis Receiving complaints from well over months ago, wherein the basis for such have no relevance today, result in the responses we have provided above.” FALSE CWD Group did not resolve any of our complaintsThey dismissed all complaints, misrepresented us, and retaliated against us because we complained about their unprofessionalism They maintain websites where they defame, retaliate and offend homeowners.Regards, [redacted] Resident
Per Revdex.com requirement, the company “The CDW Group” is referred to in this document as “The Business”.The Business has not responded to this issue, and our other Revdex.com complaints, in good faith, and has not resolved any of themThe Business has never replied to any of our rebuttals despite our providing them with evidence showing that their statements were either untrue or inaccurate Instead, The Business closed each Revdex.com complaint promptly without further reply We have recently asked the Board of Directors of Bellevue Towers for help and provided them with detailed evidenceThe Board of Directors is currently investigating the situation, at our request, not because The Business voluntarily involved them.The Business states: "this has been the first indications of dissatisfaction from the owner occasioned we believe by the departure of the former building manager"We sent enough emails expressing our dissatisfaction about handling our damage claim in the first months after the damage had occurredThe emails were addressed to the manager, his assistant, the association and other company employees The manager and the project manager assured us that our damage claim was being handled and that they were taking the appropriate steps to resolve it Does The Business think that we should have been sending them emails every week to tell them that we thought that they were lying to us? We waited patiently until it came to our attention that the building manager is quitting his job, leaving our windows damage claim unresolved.The Business states: "Bellevue Towers personnel along with The CWD Group have looked at the circumstances of the claim submission." The Business is referring to the timeline of our Revdex.com complaint submission coinciding with the departure of the building manager and is trying to hold it against us for some unknown reasonThis absolutely makes no senseSince we have begun the complaint process, The Business has been trying to use all sorts of excuses to either blame us for their own mistakes or to divert subjects of our complaints into some other irrelevant matters, such as this one.This is similar to the building manager's response when I raised concerns about building security flaws and his choice to ignore the issueInstead of focusing on the matter that I complained about, he focused on me and retaliated against me with his defamatory note that he posted on the company website with the explicit goal to discredit and tarnish my reputation with all association employees and anyone else who has access to it.The building manager's sudden notice of departure prompted us to seek out more avenues for resolving our complaints We wanted to give The Business the opportunity to investigate and question the building manager before his departureThe building manager delayed the resolution of our damage claim for almost three years until he terminated his employment and the matter became no longer his concern We wanted to ensure that The Business was able to crosscheck our statements with the departing manager regarding the windows damage claim and the defamation/retaliation complaintsThe Business and its executives cannot be excused from followiand following-through with the ongoing issues (that they already know about), simply because the building manager that they hired no longer works for them or because a long time has passed since the claim was first reportedThe damage claim is still in effect, the damage still exists and nothing has changedThe Business is liable for both the damage to our windows, mismanaging the claim and the defamation/retaliation matter.In this Revdex.com complaint, we asked The Business to provide answers to specific questionsThe Business continues to refuse to respondWe, the condo owners have paid The Business over $in assessment fees over a period of yearsWe continue to pay them over $every monthThe Business does not do their job that we pay them to doThey not only mismanaged our damage claim but also defamed me when I raised concerns about their job performance.The purpose of this complaint was to obtain a response to questions in our email that we sent to the building manager, the project manager and the company executivesWe are awaiting answers to these specific questions from The BusinessWe asked The Business directly to provide a written response to these questionsAny separate investigations by the Board of Directors cannot be used by The Business as an excuse for not replying to our questions This Revdex.com complaint is not resolved until the answers are provided.The questions asked were:Given that the building manager had sent our detailed documentation and pictures of the damage to the consulting company and the project manager and had said that he would follow up with us, if needed, please respond to the following:What is the result of the investigation by the consulting company regarding our windows' damage claim? Why didn't the building follow up with us either with the results of the investigation or scheduled an additional inspection if it was required? What is the current status of our windows' damage claim?Regards, Bellevue Towers ResidentSouth Tower
In response to the complaint received, below are the facts concerning the issue with the complainant - these have been provided through the community manager, MrH*** Here are the facts: [redacted] settled theirconstruction defect lawsuits and the building-wide remediation work is startingthis week [redacted] is doing that work and they are startingon the top floor (13) and working their way down The project is expectedto take a year Every unit will need some demolition and repairs (especiallyto repair the fire-stopping) This is what I am talking about when I saw“remediation” instead of “repairs.” Back in September,there was a water loss (drain back-up) that affected [redacted] anda couple units below The flooring in [redacted] and some of the partywall would need to come out [redacted] responded to the loss byinstalling fans and dehumidifiers in the units We opted to hold off onflooring removal until we got repair bids A claim was filed on themaster policy and we had two contractors bid the repair work The Boardapproved [redacted] to proceed with the repairs and requested we askthe owners if they wished to proceed with the remediation work now instead oflater Unit [redacted] agreed and [redacted] (remediation liaison) wasnotified The remediation work is expected to be done by Wednesday ofthis week Once that is done, [redacted] “insurance crew” will be able tocomplete the water loss repairs, which are and have been underway [redacted] estimates that the repairs will be done by the end of October(flooring, drywall, cabinets, painting, clean-up), as early as 10/ Ijust spoke with [redacted] from [redacted] and he has been in contactwith [redacted] about the schedulea There was a miscommunication between the [redacted] remediation and repair crews one day thatresulted in the repair crews being turned away, which was resolved that sameday (according to [redacted] ***) The remediation work was alreadyunderway and demanding that they stop would only delay the project Bothcrews are now and have been working in tandem [redacted] did file apersonal insurance claim to cover the move-out of his personal items and hotelstay He did move-out of the unit prior to the flooring removal and heclaims that the Facility Manager asked him to move out sooner than what mayhave been necessary I have not investigated that claim, though I suspectOmar simply told him that he would need to move out due to the loss and theowner may have misinterpreted the urgency I plan to have a conversationwith the Facility Manager about this during our weekly meeting on Thursday Regarding the complaint about not allowing the owner with access to his unit, [redacted] sent anote to the Board with a copy-and-paste of the Revdex.com complaint on 10/ Ispoke with the Facility Manager about it and here is what he said, in summary:a The owner arrived in the evening to check on hisunit and use the bathroomThe water had been shut-off to the unit by [redacted] as they completed the remediation work He went down to the desk and toldthem his toilet was not working The staff phoned the FM and he told themto say that he cannot touch the plumbing until [redacted] said it was safe to doso (since we didn’t know why [redacted] had shut off the water) He said totell [redacted] that he could use the common area restrooms in the meantimeThestaff relayed that message, but it is possible it was misinterpreted to meanthat he was not allowed to use his unit.b The Facility Manager wrote the owner on 10/9:“It appears that there was a miscommunication that occurred last night that I’dlike to clear upYes, you have access to your condo during the construction.That said; you may not turn the water back on or use the plumbing unless [redacted] deems it safe to do so ” The owner responded: “Themessage I got last night from ***, as one of the concierge that: "...Ihave called [redacted] about that, he told me that because you are not allow to getinto the construction site, but he said you are more than welcome to use thecommon area of the building" If I interpret it correctly, that meansI am not suppose to be in my home, right?” To which the FM responded:“Again; you have access to your condo but may not turn the water back on or usethe plumbing unless [redacted] deems it safe to do so.”As of today these are all the facts concerning this situation The manager, Facility Manager and the board have been most forthright given the situation and we are addressing as swiftly and appropriately as possible Please contact me directly should additional information be required Thank you very much.Paul [redacted] G***Director of Education and Client EngagementCWD Group, Inc
The business continues to not answer our questions In their response, the business made numerous and misleading statements that portray us, the complainant, as not credible in front of Revdex.com, the board of directors, and the association employees, openian entirely new issue of defamation We demand that the business provides evidence to support their claims Absent of such evidence, the business is required to correct their statements with every party they misinformed and write us a letter of apology.Our reply is provided under each business' response:Question WE ASKED: What is the result of the investigation by the consulting company regarding our windows' damage claim? BUSINESS: “A detailed report by the consultant firm engaged by the association was developed several years ago and provided both to the board of directors and the complainant.”OUR REPLY: We have never received this report as the business FALSELY claimsWe asked for it in this complaintWe asked for the report the building manager, building project manager, the executives of the business and those who respond to this complaintThe business continues to refuse to provide us with the report We would not be demanding to see it if we had it We demand to see the evidence that the building has already provided us with this report We ask that the business sends us a copy of the consultant's report regarding our windows.BUSINESS: “There have been on going investigations at this association and it is our understanding that the complainant was made aware of the on-going nature of building envelope and glass issues affecting the building“ OUR REPLY: We have never been made aware of any "glass related issues" affecting the buildingQuestion WE ASKED: Why didn't the building follow up with us either with the results of the investigation or scheduled an additional inspection if it was required? BUSINESS: “It is our understanding from emails that were provided to us and the board that several attempts at follow up were initiated but were met with resistance requesting large lead times for access to the unit to complete such follow up inspection“OUR REPLY: This is ENTIRELY FALSE No follow up attempts were made to contact us for another inspection after their original failed attempt due to their unreasonably short notice, after weeks of silence on the issue The building HAD NEVER MADE ANY ATTEMPT TO FOLLOW UP OR CONTACT US ANY FURTHER regarding our windows damage claim WE HAD NEVER REQUESTED FOR ANY SPECIFIC LEAD TIMES TO ACCESS OUR UNITExpecting us to be suddenly available with one business day notice for a non-emergency access is unreasonable We are a private residence, not an office or a commercial entity with office hours We demand to see the evidence that the building attempted to contact us for a follow up inspection and the evidence that we resisted such attempts by requesting “large lead times” for access after their first failed attempt We want to see the evidence that the building attempted to contact us AT ALL regarding our windows damage claim after their promise to follmade by the project manager in his email sent on: 2014-12- We demand to see the emails that the business claims it has that indicate that the building made follow up attempts.The consulting company has been visiting the building on numerous occasions investigating construction faults under the warranty claim against the developer The management had a lot of opportunity to ask them to inspect our windows at another date, should that have been necessary As previously mentioned, we provided our documentation and detailed pictures of the damage to the consulting company, independent of any physical inspection that was or was not requestedWe are the ones who have struggled and continue to struggle through a great “resistance” from the business to move our damage claim forward We had to file numerous Revdex.com complaints to get the business to respond and complained to the Board of Directors about the business.Question WE ASKED: What is the current status of our windows' damage claim? BUSINESS: “There continue to be multiple issues that the association is investigating ” OUR REPLY: The business creates multiple issues in order to sidetrack, confuse and obstruct filing of our damage claim The business had nearly three years to investigate and file our damage claim against the contractorThree years was more than enough time.BUSINESS: “and to our knowledge other than advising that the window washers did not cause the alleged damage..” OUR REPLY: We conducted an independent investigation and have a determination letter from an expert with years of experience in the window glass industry stating that the scratch damage was caused by the window washers We have provided this determination letter to the Board of Directors I witnessed the windows being physically scratched with my own eyes as the window washers cleaned the windows and I immediately emailed the building manager reporting the damageThey came to inspect the windows the next day The building manager and his assistant were defending the contractor without any investigations or research, in a breach of their fiduciary duty to represent the best interest of the homeowner The business is determined to defend their window washing contractor and assign the blame to the developer under warranty claim for construction defects regardless of what we had witnessed During the immediate inspection, the building manager argued with me and claimed that the window washers replace their dirty water with hard dirt particles as they descend to lower levels That is not true They never replace their dirty water which contains hard particles that get trapped in their sponge and drag across the glass scratching glass The window washers are also responsible for following the glass manufacturer guidelines during their initial window washing in order to prevent any glass manufacturing debris from attaching to their tools and scratching the glass All scratches old and new on the exterior window surface are their responsibility Due to the location of our unit on a high floor, only the window washers had access to itThe building and the association had almost three years to file the claim and recover damages that are owed to us Thus far, there has been no progress other than an effort to find ways to make our claim invalid or expired such as scheduling unreasonably short notice for an inspection, never following up as promised or by making make statements that we resisted further attempts for follow up inspections as evidenced above.BUSINESS: “..the claims overall for glass issues remain open and under investigation by the association“OUR REPLY: The business refers to the general warranty claim against the developer for "glass issues" as remaining open, but refuses to respond about the status of OUR windows' damage claim Our question about the status of our damage claim remains unanswered.We paid the business in the past years in assessment fees They refuse to do their job and do not perform their fiduciary duty which requires the property manager to always act in the best interests of the homeowner The business responds in bad faith with statements This sidetracks, distracts and confuses every party involved Bellevue Towers ResidentSouth Tower
Complaint: [redacted] The current manager has not left the company yetHe is still at his office and is paid by our assessment fee duesI am asking the business to contact the current manager to resolve thisI have all email communications with the manager retained as evidenceThe fact that his defamatory note has remained in the company system for three years makes it even worse as it has been seen by many people during that timeThe manager has entered his defamatory and retaliatory note secretly and the existence of it has not been known to me until recently Evidence of email interactions is available and none of it is lost or expired as the business suggestsThere were no off-the-record communications with the manager via phone or in person
Revdex.com: One final update, unless there is another response from the business that warrants a reply The construction work that was basis for opening this complaint has been completedIf you wouldn't mind changing the status from 'needs resolution' to a 'share with others' type of status, I would appreciate itor, let me know if I should do anything elseThanks for your assistance, you have been most responsive ***
