They have been asked by the township and by the neighbors to do minimal upkeep of mowing the grass at the curb, keeping trash picked up, clearing debris, fixing a decrepit sidewalk and fixing a fence. After 5 years of requests, neighbors got the township involved and that led to the fence being fixed and a letter telling us that their intention was to continue to "naturalize" the property and, rather than fix the sidewalk, they requested permission to "naturalize" it by allowing the grass to continue to grow through the cracks until the sidewalk could no longer be seen. Grass at the curb grows knee high before neighbors mow, weeds on the interior of the property are now shoulder high and trash mounts - neighbor and Township official appeals to Camco and Jordan Estates are given lip service but are rarely acted upon. They have a maintenance truck passing the properties in question at least once week as they take care of other property nearby and have obviously made a conscious decision for neglect and abandonment. Professional property managers at a company of this size surely know the difference between abandonment/neglect and naturalizing. In fact the adjacent property owned by another neighbor is naturalized and it's lovely. Camco managed property is slum property in a nice neighborhood. Their stonewalling response that they intended to continue "naturalizing" to Township requests to clean up property they've barely touched once a year for 5 years is indicative of a business that has no integrity.
Description of Work: Camco manages properties next to and behind mine for a McMansion development called the Jordan Estates. They are paid by Jordan Estate Homeowners Association which owns the properties, but services are not rendered at all on the properties in question. It has cost me in the devaluation of my property because of overgrowth, no shoveling, raking or mowing and years of debris and trash as well as decrepit sidewalk and curb. It also costs me as a taxpayer because the township has paid for increased police protection due to abandonment issues attracting beer parties, for township personnel to stay on them and to entertain appeals for allowance for neglect, and for official visits to determine that the property is still abandoned despite Township and neighbor appeals. Our volunteer elected representative has also spent time - a precious taxpayer resource squandered by a spineless company looking for an out from doing their job. So, despite making a hefty monthly maintenance fee from the homeowners association, and despite ongoing appeals by neighbors and Township officials, no services are performed, rendering the properties under their care neglected and abandoned.

Terrible.
Description of Work: This company manages a condo I own. I do not like this particular company, and if I could I would get another management company to manage the property. They are supposed to make sure that the property is running smoothly but they have had 3 managers in 3 years. In addition to mis-managed managers, they hire companies which charge high fees but do not do their job. There have been numerous repairs and the cost of condo fees continue to sky rise.
