The (Former) Faces of Jade Winds

While employed by First Service Residential, Property Manager Donna Mantin, CAM 34445 and her security guard Jan Capote, (her minion and former MCORPS Security employee) denied unit owners access to attend committee meetings in violation of Florida Statute 718, The Condominium Act.

Revital Sharony is also the wife of Jade Winds Association former President Santiago Perez, seated on back table below.  

They now live in Boca Raton in a house valued at approximately $634,000 while Jade Winds is left in shambles under their control.    

Jesse Bergeman, former Treasurer of Jade Winds,(brown sweater) stands there and does nothing while Revital Sharony spits her venomous words.  

Jesse Bergeman has also recently resigned from the Board and he recently moved out of his unit here at the Jade Winds.    

The rest of the Board seated at the table DO NOTHING except watch.   

Santiago Perez, former President of Jade Winds (bald head, striped shirt) is a man who lies and does not keep his word.   In my opinion, his smirk says it all.  
Also in this pictures is Donna Mantin, CAM 34445 (black top, red hair conducting improper elections which were successfully challenged in Arbitration.)

It appears that she takes great pleasure in seeing others suffer for no good reason.

Redemption!

After years of systemic mismanagement, exploitation, and abuses Jade Winds has finally broken free.  

Donna Mantin, CAM34445 (who, surprisingly, NOW has a current license--it was just recently delinquent) has been FIRED from the Jade Winds and is considered a persona non grata! 

**FACT CHECK:  Donna Mantin was NOT arrested last week on the Jade Winds property. Donna Mantin was leaving the office with Association correspondence (mail) and the police seized and returned those items back to the office.  She was not arrested and was free to go, period.      

Santiago Perez, who was the President of the Board, resigned.

Jesse Bergeman, who was Treasurer of the Board, resigned.

There were some other Directors, who also resigned previously, but the community was never informed of such.    

With that said, the remaining Board members and unit owners are united and determined to maintain community control and act in the best interest of this Association. 

Jade Winds will conduct business. Jade Winds will comply with the law and it's obligations.  Jade Winds will move forward. 

The Board of Directors held an emergency meeting on Thursday, 30 October 2014 to begin the process of assessing the damages, rebuilding, and rectifying the wrongs from previous administration leaders. 

The picture below shows unit owners engaged  in the process of the meeting. The audience was given an opportunity to attend and speak and ideas were considered.

The meeting was open and orderly. The Board conducted business and the agenda items were discussed and resolved as needed.  

I can honestly say, that Thursday night's meeting was a great victory for the members of this Association. I think it sets the tone for things to come. 

Thank you to all who participated.  There will be many more meetings to come and each one will be better than the last. Your cooperation and assistance is requested during this transition.  

The office will reopen soon but please continue to mail your assessment payments to BB&T as usual.

Unit Owners pay attention, have fun, and are involved with the business of Jade Winds, the way it should be. 

News Flash--NO More Donna Mantin! Community Celebrates

Finally, some on the Board of Directors have taken appropriate action.   The dark storm clouds of fear and abuse over Jade Winds have begun to dissipate. 

I hope, pray, but most importantly, WORK for better days ahead.

Donna Mantin is no longer the community association manager of the Jade Winds. I doubt she will ever be a licensed CAM ever again. 

Santiago Perez is no longer president of the Board.   I doubt he will remain a Director much longer. 

Time will tell all.  Revelations reveal the truth. 


There is an Emergency Board meeting at the Jade Winds Office, Saturday, 25 October 2014 at 6pm.

I urged all unit owners and concerned residents to attend.

Please be patient with the process.  An open Board meeting is something that we may not be accustomed to but it is something we will perfect over time, one way or another. 

I look forward to seeing you all there, except for a select few who I now and forever consider personas non grata.  Good bye and good riddance to you. I hope the exit gate hits you on the way out.  

The Drama Continues...

The drama continues but the end appears near.    Our efforts are indeed paying off.   This administration is desperate and the Association is in shambles. 

However, now is not the time for unit owner complacency. This is the time when ALL unit owners must unite. 

We each have to step up and do our part no matter how big or small.   We all have something to offer so please make yourself known. 

 

Know and assert your rights.    

We MUST and we WILL take back community control.

Donna Mantin was leaving the office with Association correspondence.   Vigilant unit owners called the police and put a stop to that and the mail was rightfully returned to the office.

Donna Mantin was free to go and left the property willingly, this time.   I hope she never returns.

Case# PD141024388009.  Call MDPD at 305.940.9980 in about 1 week to see if the report is ready. I have no idea what it will say, I was not present.   More to follow soon.  

Jade Winds is Broken and The Board Refuses to Fix it!

Frustrated Unit Owners and Residents can not get adequate services from the Office. 

Elevators in a constant state of disrepair is unacceptable.

The "Office" Closed Again

Once again, the office is closed and unavailable for unit owners, vendors, realtors, and process servers just to name a few.   

Please note how the notice is displayed.  The lack of care is evident.   The lack of responsiveness is unacceptable.

Another crooked noticed posted--OFFICE CLOSED. 

EDIT:
September 18 2014

What administrative reason justifies closing the office with these sporadic hours and non-availability to unit owners, vendors, etc?
At least the notice is placed squarely this time.

Edit:  September 19, 2014

Back to crooked notices.

What administrative reason can cause the office to be closed more often than not?  What is the purpose of paying for management IF we are not getting management services? If the office is closed then unit owners and residents cannot resolve their business.    

Labor Day Holiday: Security Hard at WORK Making Life Difficult for Unit Owners

The last thing I expected to do today was write a blog post.  However, after witnessing what has just occurred here at the Jaded Winds, I have no choice but to share with you yet another glaring example of the continued pattern of abuse at the hands of security and management. 

I was at home, chillaxing. All was quiet. The kids are playing and having fun.  Perfect conditions to savor the holiday.

But at the Jade Winds things operate, how should I say it, ummm...different.

While...
