Good afternoon,
I am an owner of a condo unit at Maryland Farms in Beltsville Maryland. I voiced my concerns about my neighbor and how I was concerned regarding his wellbeing to the Maryland Farms Management Office February 8th. The management office directed the maintenance staff to remove the newspaper from in front of my neighbor’s door. I never received a follow up call or communication regarding my concern. I came home on February 12th to find out my neighbor was deceased in his home and by speaking to the police he had been deceased for about a week. After speaking with another neighbor in the building, I learned the management office was contacted two weeks prior regarding a leak in a unit that was coming from my neighbor’s unit. That inquiry also went unnoticed. Further conversations with the police confirmed multiple residents had reached out regarding their concern for my neighbor along with the pungent smell coming from his apartment. I am saddened by my neighbor’s passing, but I am also upset by the way he passed and the amount of time that lapsed where nothing was done despite the multiple attempts residents made with the management office. There is a clear lack of care and work ethic amongst the management office staff. We all pay dues that are increasing every year, and it is apparent those funds are not being put into hiring hardworking and trustworthy staff. I hope the management of this condominium will be investigated.
