for contributing factors to her roof leaking and noticed the ceilings were collapsing, black

RE: 8740 Croton Court, Cape Canaveral
Dear Mr. Perna, Esq:
I received a call from the property owner located at 8734 Croton Court, regarding water leaking
into her unit and bubbling paint on her wall. This unit adjoins the unit that Chase Home Finance,
LLC foreclosed on earlier this year.
A site visit revealed water on the floor and several wet towels from where the owners had
attempted to keep the floor dry. 1 also witnessed the bubbling paint, which I photographed and
will be happy to provide via email.
The home owner is very concerned about the damage to her unit and has written a letter to the
City regarding these issues. Copy enclosed.
Your property is having a deteriorating effect on the adjoining properties. I have also included a
copy of an email I received from Patricia O'Donovan, 8738 Croton Court, another unit owner,
which adjoins the 8740 Croton Court unit.
I have explained to the surrounding property owners the current status of the property, but with
the amount of rain we have received in the last couple of days, the adjoining property owners may
have no choice but to pursue compensation for the damages and repairs.
Please let me know how soon you expect to start the repairs. I think a majority of the problems
could be resolved by repaving the roof, as soon as possible. You will be required to obtain a
permit and the required approved final inspection.

Re: 8740 Croton Court
Cape Canaveral, FL
Dear Ms. Alexander,
I am writing to you today in follow-up to the conversation I had with you and Mr.
Morley last month after your inspection of the above referenced property which
shares common walls to my unit ar 8734 Croton Ct. My husband and I had
contacted your office earlier this year because we suspected that the roof
condition of 8740 was responsible for water entering our property through the
common walls. Your office came out but due to the legal status of the property
was unable to actually inspect the roof.
After your inspection last month we discussed the roof condition of 8740 and you
inquired if there had been any further water leaks into my property. Due to the
lack of rain there had not been any. However, as of this morning after the heavy
rains we have found the drywall bubbling up on one of our living room walls as
well as a severe water leak coming from under the base molding also in the
living room.
I know that your office is in contact with the new owner's of the unit and I would
appreciate you forwarding this letter onto them. My husband and I feel that the
condition of 8740 is directly responsible for the water leaks we are experiencing
and we have a genuine concern that if the repairs are not done to their property
in a timely manner there will be additional damage to our property. Thank you
for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Sharon Harrell

Re: 8740 Croton Court
My name is Patricia O'Donovan. My property at 8738 Croton Court abuts the property in question, 8740
Croton Court in Ocean Woods.
This property has been vacated and abandoned by the owner for several years now. Windows have been left
wide open and broken as well as the sliders. During this time, squatters and vagrants have entered the property
necessitating in calls to the police. There has been no electric or water to the property having been shut off by
the utility companies. Bright House has told me that my cable lines had been spliced into.
Last year my roof started leaking. In the process of determining the extent of damage and getting bids, roofers
were on top of the building and reported the extent of damage not only to my roof, but to the property at 8740
Croton Court. I was told that while on the roof, they could see straight down into the unit. Since the windows
were wide open and the sliders broken and open to the elements, easy access was available. In the process of
taking steps to protect my property, it was easy enough to walk through the open doors to access what, if any,
contributing factors might be causing leaks to my unit. Once inside the property, it was noted that the ceilings
were collapsing, black mold was evident on the soaked carpets and walls, The stench of rotting food was
horrific. Repeated calls to the Ocean Woods Association to at least board the unit up went unanswered
necessitating in calls to the City of Cape Canaveral Code Enforcement.
1 have noticed an increase in rodents, and insects in my unit along with snakes in the trees and surrounding
brush and in the hot tub which was left filled in the patio along with toilets that someone had removed and placed
on the patio. It was evident that the place had been trashed by the elements as well as anyone who could easily
gain access into the abandoned unit. As a professional in the health care industry, I have grave concerns
regarding the black mold in the unit which abuts my unit and have taken the precaution of having my air ducts
cleaned.
Any assistance this board might offer in determining legal responsibility for maintaining this property is greatly
appreciated.
Thank you
Patricia O'Donovan
