Brodie Management Inc

I have been thoroughly disappointed with Brodie ever since my building switched over from WPM. One of those instances of you don’t know what you had until it’s gone. Communication is abysmal, and I think my feeling of deep disappointment comes from the fact that I am a homeowner and that for many years as a renter in other buildings, I felt sufficiently informed. Signs go up sometimes just the day before and details are almost non-​existent. Terms like «this project» (which is???) and «It should take about two weeks» (well gee, that’s a long time to consider someone peering in your windows from eight stories up) compose the notification sign. I am constantly left with questions and when I’ve called our liason at Brodie, I don’t ever get the answers I am seeking when I finally do get my return call. I can’t help but feel sorry for myself and other homeowners here or just don’t know where else to turn. If work is to be done on the building and particularly to individual units, I would also like to know when it is complete so perhaps I can keep my window open for fresh air, etc. I also have questioned the quality on mandatory orders (which in themselves are frustrating). I watched a recent single workman perform the required dryer vent cleaning. Unlike any other dryer vent cleaning I’ve seen, he merely vacuumed out the actual lint collection area right inside my dryer door, something I can do myself. Nothing was done on the hose that leads to the outside, and no vacuuming was even done from that external point of ventilation. It is these frustrations that have tipped me over to here in the hopes that some attention and consideration can be had.

This is for the Annapolis branch.
The street lights are out and they haven’t been on since last Friday (¹¹⁄₇). When called the HOA they said it wasn’t their problem so BGE was called and they said the same thing.
BGE said on Friday (¹¹⁄₁₄) they couldn’t get someone out to check the light problem till this week and if something isn’t fixed by Thursday then that means it is our landlord’s problem and to contact them again.
As some residents refer to BGE «they suck sweaty dirty balls»
Will be reporting their lack of communication and competence at the next HOA meeting.
