Highline Meadows Homeowners

Mackey -Do you get it now?

Glad your back!

Please Show the misleading and half truths if you can but if you open the roofs we are going to be in a world of trouble when the inspector looks down into the hole created to see structure damage and mold.

Darby Enterprises roofing has stated that the roofs are "SHOT" at  Highline Meadows, this is a direct quote from them!

The inspector at that point may have the ability to condemn the building or request that this Mold and Structure damage be repaired before your pitch is added and the roof is closed up.

Don't think that you people can get away with more work without permits around here especially when peoples lives are at danger. You say at what point are they at danger?

If the roofs are not fixed by the winter there is a reasonable chance that the structure damage could get worse and may collapse somewhere due to the shear weight of snow. I have noticed the roofs low points have been sinking worst every year now for the last 5 years.

Some people's ceiling's have so much water above them that they are stating to Bulge and collapse.

Now, if you open the roofs and look the other way the problem is still not fixed, the internal damage remains. If you fix the structure damage and remove the mold you may have to evacuate the building because of Mold and Asbestos.

Don't think that the Colorado Department of Health does no know what is happening here. They have had four incidents of Asbestos and had to deal with  and three Building Fires at 230, 309 and 50!

It's your call Mackey, what are you going to do?

This is the worse that I have seen the roof sinking. Have you seen the roofs? Most people don't know because you cant see them. All you see is Paint chipping and wood decaying all over the place from NO PAINTING .

We have reports in our building of ceilings leaking in every upstairs condo unit as well as units below for several years now. Gee... I wonder how that affects the wood structure?

Even building 190 which has the "So Called New Roof" is leaking (this new roof is nothing more than a membrane cover and never fixed the low spots as water still ponds and leaks into the unit.) Building 50 with the fire is back leaking, they are all leaking as far as we know!!!

The Board of Directors at Highline Meadows had a chance to fix the situation but the Board decided to overlook it for years now. This Board of Directors at Highline Meadows must step down for incompetence!

The  Board of Directors never learned from the "DOW CORNING" incident years ago in the 80's when all the roofs were replaced and they leaked! 30K in lawsuit money was never put into a fund for future replacement of the roofs

The Board is to blame for our current situation and for there oversight bringing down this community.

They may have an alternate plan and already know what they are going to do. Like collect the 3-4 Million Dollars than condemn the place.

If you would have just done the Correct Financial Audits, not wasted so much money, and had a Roof Replacement plan in place years ago to fix the roofs we would not be talking right now.

The roof leaking issue is full circle as TMMC lines there pockets of much needed cash and we pay enormous amounts of money in Administration cost and Unqualified Maintenance personnel.

AS THE ROOF LEAKS IT DAMAGES THE CEILING AND WALLS WHICH CONTAIN ASBESTOS and HUMANS. It keeps you people pretty busy!

If the roofs did not leak and you would have kept up the painting around this complex we also would not be talking right now.

Thanks

Mackey,

You are not a respected Neighbor!!! You are a voice that does not exist in the redevelopment of this community. If you have somthing constructive to say you better say it!

Roofs,

My roof is sinking badly and feels like the undersurface is damaged  by a spring feel surface.

When will these roofs be finally Fixed?

Resonable

TMMC,
I have still not received any documentation on this work in my living room for the last 14 days from the HMCA or TMMC. This letter will serve as my Final documentation as It appears that Rory Scott has completed his portion of project and I have elected to paint the surface since the whole room will require new paint to try and hide the mismatch of texture. (see pictures)

This letter will also document that no inspection for structural damage to the building roof was completed by any authorized party.

Due to the number of leaks in my unit, the whole building and all 20 buildings in the complex,  I have done some research which I hope you will pass on to 'Darby Enterprise Roofing" and the Board of Directors.

After a discussion with Mike Dewit a representative with Owens Corning who researched details concerning our complex,  in 1990 a second layer of  Derbigum (10 Year Guarantee) was added and paid for by Owens corning at a cost of 174K due to "Fuzziness" of the original installation in 1984. This was a defective material put on at the time.

It also appears that Service records stopped after four service calls reported from 1990 to 1993 and the ten year warranty was never used after that date. The roof Expiration on warranty would be the year 2000 which means that TMMC and the HMCA would have been responsible for making sure we were covered on Roof Warranty at that time since they were managing this Highline Meadows complex at that time.

I would like to comment on that Tar or black cement compound was leaking through the 1/2" Plywood of the ceiling in several areas in my unit. Any current or past roof repairs when dealing with "DERBIGUM",  should require proper repair methods involving a Prime and torched down reinforcement layer according to Mike Dewit at Owens Corning.
It appears that either cement or tar is being used to patch the roofs which is a complete waste of money due to the fact the patch may only last 3 months to a year.

Mike Dewit with Owens Corning is reviewing the pictures of the roof repairs on our roof to confirm this incorrect patch method. Mike will also be sending me documentation on the Second Replacement and any service records.

Considering we have spend over 100 Thousand dollars on roof repairs during the last several years, this is very significant and needs to be addressed. This is considered incompetence by Darby Roofing in proper repair techniques.

Concerning my Ceiling repair, and Considering the scope of work involved, I would say that the maintenance man Rory Scott did an excellent job and appreciate his efforts on this ceiling repair after American Abatement asbestos removal.
Sincerely,
Concerned Owner
