2 Different Driveways Marked For Replacement In Very Good Condition

Look at your driveway, then go to 107 Dove Hill and look at that already pristine driveway? This is what board favoritism looks like.

3 Different Driveways NOT Marked For Replacement That Look Worse in Person

For the first time in Estates II history, a port-a-potty has been placed on the property of a home under renovation. Over the years, many residents have renovated their homes without resorting to such an eyesore, demonstrating a standard of decency and respect for the neighborhood. What makes this situation even more unacceptable is that the port-a-potty belongs to board member and builder Stephen Fanuka. How is this permissible? This unsightly structure should be hidden from view, as it reflects poorly on the resident responsible. Subjecting neighbors to such a low-class sight is unacceptable. Take it away now!

COBBLESTONE FINALLY REPAIRED

The wait is over. After sitting for two years in disrepair and as a result of the Residents Club's unrelenting documentation, someone finally decided to do their job and fix the broken cobblestone.

MORE DOUBLE STANDARDS

Stephanie Michele recently told a new resident they can't have sod. This picture of a front yard was taken May 16 and the picture of a truck filled with sod taken May 17, 2024.

Beautiful new sod
Residents are being fed misinformation by board member Stephanie Michele who is in charge of landscaping. Stephanie, known for her nasty demeanor towards residents, is incorrectly telling residents that dead trees in the common areas will be removed, but not replaced, and if a resident wants another tree planted they would have to pay for it. This is a clear violation of the bylaws. Original plantings on common area must be maintained and/or replaced by the Condo.

The Residents Club has also discovered that the board's actions are not consistent with their own policies. For example, Cindy Davidowitz (home pictured above), the VP of the board, was able to have trees replaced in her yard, and Rick Saccullo, the president of our condo, has beautiful new trees in his backyard. The Residents Club would like to hear the board's defense for these inconsistencies.

Furthermore, Stephanie Michele and the board has been perpetuating falsehoods regarding sod. Stephanie told the resident sod is not allowed even if the resident pays for it. However, it appears that this rule does not apply to board members, as Cindy Davidowitz was able to have sod installed in her yard at the condo's expense. Edited 5.17.24 It now appears some residents are given approval for sod as noted in the pictures above. The residents club has learned the resident who was denied the request for sod is furious over this double standard.

Additionally, the board has been telling residents that if a previous homeowner installed a sprinkler system at their own cost in the common area the new homeowner is responsible for its maintenance. This is not true according to the bylaws. A new homeowner was forced to pay hundreds of dollars to the condo's sprinkler contractor and an electrician. This resident should be reimbursed for these expenses. Stephanie Michele must educate herself on Estates ll bylaws and stop spreading misinformation.

Page 34 of Bylaws: If homeowner gets permission at their own expense to install a sprinkler system in their irrevocable common area, they can at their own expense. Subsequent repair and maintenance of the sprinkler shall remain the responsibility of the board of managers.

August 10, 2025

Clubhouse has been open 3 weeks, and management hasn't bothered to remove the yellow tape from the light poles.

They don't lift a finger here. "Pathetic" is the only word to describe their complete lack of care & effort. Residents see it all and constantly point out issues that need urgent attention—cleaning, repairs, safety hazards—yet those in charge ignore them. Instead of taking action, they walk past problems as if they don’t exist, displaying a shocking disregard for their duty to maintain a safe and livable environment.

The most recent example is the remaining yellow tape around the light poles at the clubhouse—something they see every single day! Just like the pot hole. How hard is it to take the tape off? This is not just neglect; it’s a blatant demonstration of their total lack of due care and professionalism. Their indifference puts residents at risk and devalues our community. Management, maintenance and the board should be ashamed.

The images below are what brings down property values. The documentation is the only hope resident have of having their siding cleaned. The board should hire a professional company to clean the entire development because the entire development has filthy siding.

July 2024, The cobble stone has sat in need of repair since before JULY 2022, even though this property is a couple of doors down from board member VP Cindy Davidowitz. Don't let the board tell you they do anything for Estates ll. When Cindy had a dead tree she made sure the condo re landscaped her entire front yard but she can't be bothered to have someone put these cobble stones back in place. A resident club member tried to stand the cobble stones upright but they are too heavy.
July 14, 2024 cobblestone has been repaired.

Condo is responsible to power wash original concrete. Resident had to hire outside help to get their concrete clean. If the condo could use a TCM vendor and pay for the service the concrete would have been cleaned immediately. When TCM can't bill Estates the services go "into the weeds." Just like Rick Saccullo's information updates.

When a board member violates the bylaws, by defacing the common areas surounding their home, it's a signal to the residents they can do the same. Zaken is the first resident in Estates ll history to mount lighting on the trellis. Now other residents have followed. Clearly a resident saw this on Zaken's trellis and thought it was ok to do. It appears Ely Zaken will not stop until he has completely destroyed the beauty of the conformity of Estates ll.
