Riverview,
Florida - Carol Fleming wanted to see if her key card would get her into
the South Fork pool. |
Carol Fleming, South Fork resident:
�All in here the graffiti�all in here.
- Anna Linvill, South Fork resident:
�Normally, we have all sorts of broken bottles out here.�
The playground has issues too.
Anna Linvill says is often surrounded by broken glass, dirty tables�.and a potentially dangerous slide where bolts were removed from a covering.
Linvill says that hasn't been fixed in four months, and she wonders where her association dues are going.
Anna Linvill, South Fork resident:
�They do a great job of landscaping the median where people come in to see the model homes. But we don't get any maintenance.�
The property is managed by the Rampart Company, where a spokesperson told us the company has no comment, when we asked about homeowner complaints.
Carol Fleming, South Fork resident:
�And this is dangerous in the pool.�
And neighbors like Carol Fleming find something to comment about every day.
Carol Fleming, South Fork resident:
�Beer cans, stuff like that you find in the pool, and that's very dangerous for the kids and all.�
Property managers have patched up some of the gaping holes, until a newer stronger fence can be installed.
Homeowners can only hope it is more vandal proof.
