Real Estate The Keys Condominiums Association LV NV adminMay 5, 2025039 views The Keys Condominiums - When is new mangement going to fix the landscaping and other problems. Property In Regression Voting For Change In 2025 {{{error}}} The Keys CondominiumsDiscloser From Proposed New ManagementThe Keys Condominiums have several unique advantages and untapped possibilities:Spacious Rooms: Above all the rooms are 12×12 foot rooms, The Keys offers larger living spaces compared to the 9×10 foot rooms common in many modern developments. The Kitches and living areas are larger than most. This can provide a more comfortable living experience and attract buyers or renters looking for more space.Generous Common Areas: In addition there are two unused club houses and regions next to pool that are untapped for possiable income. Needs a study. Prime Location: Because of proximity to the stadium and downtown makes it a convenient choice for residents who enjoy urban living or need easy access to city amenities.Potential for Leadership and Innovation: The likelyhood of focusing on improvements, the needs of occupants and cost-saving solar energy solutions, The Keys could not only lower expenses but also generate additional income and enhance property value.For these reasons investing in opportunities—such as modernizing facilities, improving sustainability, and leveraging its location and space advantages—could significantly increase the appeal and value of your property while reducing the cost or holding the cost of HOA fees.. FirstService Residential Property Management The Keys Condominiums Association management as well as FSRPM raises serious concerns about transparency, prioritization, and proper stewardship by the management and their representative, FirstService Residential (FSR). Several critical issues emerge:1. Transparency and Disclosure FailuresFSR’s failure to disclose key information and leadership to invest in unnecessary investments during the meeting undermines trust and accountability. Homeowners deserve clarity on how their fees are allocated and how decisions impact the property’s value and livability. If owners do not see action based on decision they loose interest in attending meetings.Withholding Information: Not providing a landscaping manual, water controller layout, or previous paid invoices with cost estimates suggests either a lack of preparation or an attempt to obscure the situation.Misaligned Priorities: Advocating for an $800,000 reroofing project without evidence of significant roof damage raises questions about decision-making motives.Neglected Questions: Failing to answer direct inquiries from homeowners about the condition of roofs and landscaping is a clear breakdown of communication.Fear Tactics: Making statements such as Fannie May and Freedie Mac will not lend on property if roof is not replaced. Is a lie.2. Landscaping ConcernsThe degradation of the property’s greenery reflects poorly on management.Water Neglect: Trees and plants dying due to lack of water points to mismanagement of irrigation, not the claim of disease. This issue could likely be resolved by addressing water distribution and contractor oversight.No Landscape Plan: A documented landscaping maintenance manual with clear schedules for watering, fertilizing, pruning, and plant replacement is a standard necessity for managing a property of this scale. The absence of such a manual demonstrates a significant lapse of management or nifarious objectives..Environmental and Aesthetic Impact: Landscaping is vital not only for appearance but for maintaining property value and creating a welcoming environment for residents. Its deterioration is a pressing issue that should be prioritized. Otherwise the quality of renters will diminish. 3. Nefarious Budgetary FocusThe push for roofing improvements without identifying immediate issues—while landscaping visibly suffers—suggests poor financial and project prioritization.Homeowner Input Ignored: The absence of roof-related complaints indicates that the urgency of the project may be overstated.Lack of Cost Clarity: Proceeding with costly projects without first addressing the well-documented landscaping concerns could result in diminished homeowner trust and satisfaction. The Representitive for FSR reported that all landscaping plumbing needs to be replaced. Wrong!4. Swimming Pool & MaintenanceThe swimming pools only operate during the winter and the hot tubs are not hot. The garbadge gates are gone or failing due to poor construction and design. 1. How to Increase Service Quality While Reducing Costs at the Keys Condominiums.Conduct a Comprehensive Audit:In fact evaluate all vendor contracts (landscaping, utilities, maintenance) to identify inefficiencies or overcharges.Review past financials and expenditures for patterns of waste or mismanagement.Competitive Bidding for Services:Firstly require multiple bids for all major contracts to ensure competitive pricing.Secondly transition to performance-based contracts, tying payments to measurable outcomes like landscaping quality or maintenance completion.Implement Solar Energy Solutions:Thirdly install solar panels to reduce electricity costs for common areas. Solar power can provide immediate savings on utility bills and, in some cases, generate income through surplus energy sales for EV Charging.Explore local, state, or federal incentives for renewable energy projects.Smart Water Management:Upgrade to types of trees and shrubs that are green and require less water. Rather than replacing irrigation systems repair existing system and manage.Develop a landscaping manual with weekly schedules. Identify all trees, shrubs and regions served..Landscaping Plan & Budget:Establish type of landscaping for The Keys and budge for the improvements and changes.Create IncomeExplore converting two club rooms to appartments. Solar to Charge Cars.
