ok guys I need your help here..

This past Tuesday I woke up to this:

Needless to say I went into a frenzy. These were $7000 wheels/tires.


This is a picture of the car of another victim. They stole her airbag 2 nights before.

This is a supposedly secured building but I just found out another 3
cars were burglarized this same week and there have been numerous incidents of car thefts, burglaries, break-ins, bike thefts, etc in the last 3 years.

Of course, management doesn't tell you anything when you are considering to rent or buy.

The truth is THERE ARE NO SECURITY CAMERAS IN THE GARAGE, ANYWHERE, except by the entrance gate and that one is so outdated and badly positioned that you can't make out a car tag or a face. And no security guy making rounds in the garage. Just a concierge sitting at the lobby looking at the few, useless cameras there are ( none in the garage nor corridors )

Obviously I get together with all the other victims and demand our damages to be paid by the HOA/management. Their answer was basically: well, call your insurance. We are not liable.

That's when I decided EVERYBODY in the building should know about what happened.

I started posting flyers door by door explaining what happened and citing them to a meeting. Half the building came and everybody was very supportive. Nobody knew the building was going through this kind of management, or lack there of.

The next day I get a call from the developer/owner of most units in the building: a Peter Torres.

He proceeds to tell me I should sue the security company instead ( the one they hired and keep employing ) and that he would not install new cameras or hire new security guards. They couldn't afford it he said. A security guard is $128,000 / year investment.

He then in a very mocking tone told me I should probably move to a place where rent is $20,000+ per month since I drove a Maserati. That way I could have better security and an armed guard by my car.

Needless to say things went bad from here.

The next day me and the other victim ( the third victim rents from an owner ) were served with a Non Renewal letter. Basically Mr. Peter Torres now wants us out of the building. This proves retaliatory action and actually makes our case easier.

All 3 of us ( latest victims ) will be suing him, his companies and the building for damages plus I will be posting every single incident police report I find regarding Nordica Condominiums online for everybody to find.

I will make sure everybody that is considering buying or renting here goes to a different place. Nordica Condominiums don't care about the safety of its residents. It is that simple. If all the other Astor Companies condo buildings are run the way this one is DO NOT BUY OR RENT THERE.

Here is where I need your SEO efforts to rank this post as high as possible.

Brothers and sisters..anything to bump this up will be appreciated.

Ouch... a friend of mine bought the same car when he sold his company. Then 2 days later he mashed up a rim on a pothole, and found out how much they cost. :sadcrying4:
 
Nice car man...sucks about the tires. I would think that management can't be held liable though. In any case good luck.

You are correct. Except there is a long history of this happening in the building and:

1- They kept it secret from new renters and buyers
2- Proves negligence on their part since there was probable cause that it would happen again, as it did...many times.
 
Landlords are shady as general. Good luck. Sue them into oblivion. They can't do this to you.
 
I dunno man. Unless you were promised specific security related things when you signed, this is generally something you take up with your insurance not a building owner or your landlord.
 
This is horrendous news. I will send some links for you. I hope you get things squared away with the landlord... The prick.

Lance: Still got your Malibu?
Vincent: Aw, man. You know what some fucker did the other day?
Lance: What?
Vincent: Fucking keyed it.
Lance: Oh, man, that's fucked up.
Vincent: Tell me about it. I had it in storage for three years, it was out five days and some dickless piece of shit fucked with it.
Lance: They should be fucking killed. No trial, no jury, straight to execution.
Vincent: Boy, I wish I could've caught him doing it. I'd have given anything to catch that asshole doing it. It'd been worth him doing it just so I could've caught him doing it.
Lance: What a fucker!
Vincent: What's more chicken shit than fucking with a man's automobile? I mean, don't fuck with another man's vehicle.
Lance: You don't do it.
Vincent: It's just against the rules.
 
Might have to give them some phone calls.

"hi Peter. I'm interested in buying a condo. Whats the security like there? I've done some research on the interwebz and apparently it sucks. I'll have to take my monies elsewhere.
Oh, by the way, for what it's worth, you can contact google hammer.com and they can remove the bad reviews for you. "
 
sweetbride man.

yeah these parking complexes with cctv are more of a liability more than anything, ur prolly safer parking on the streets. when theives know the cctv are duds and there are no security guards patrolling, they pretty much have a free reign to nick car parts. secluded dark location, hardly any people from the public and no cops to patrol.

btw lol'd at the airbag thief. hahaha
 
Peter Torres is the developer/owner of about half of the building.

They should have done something when things like these started happening. That's why it is a negligence case now.


Links and that phone call would be awesome lol.

Bottom line is they knew shit like this had been going on for ages and did nothing about it. And top of that they send Non Renewal letters to us, THE VICTIMS.

want your shit stolen and management laughed at your face. Rent/buy here!
 
guys, any ideas or sites on where to post more reviews/pictures/police reports, etc?
 
Sorry to hear it happened. I'm sure the others are thankful you stood up for yourself and them. You don't think posting all of this could negatively affect your lawsuit at all?
 
Damn man! Move further east into Brickell! Brickell Key if possible. I'm almost 100% sure that what you're paying there will get you a comparable (or better) unit in a more stable building.

We had similar issues in my building (Neo Vertika - which has it's fair share of issues), and since then the HOA has installed multiple cameras on every floor, and started patrolling more often at night. The incidents have since then stopped as far as I know.

Anyway, PM if you need anything. I'm two miles down the road.
