Business ProfileforTreo Community Management, Inc.

I am a 57 year old resident of a Treo managed community. I have enjoyed living here. It's quiet and safe, I love my neighbors. The lawns and shrubbery are well maintained and in the winter, the snow is plowed so that I can get my old SUV in and out of the community. The trees are sprayed and trimmed every year. The president of our board is a wonderful man, a veteran, who volunteers his time to manage the dog waste sites and to actually pick up after people who don't pick up after their dogs. It's not perfect for everyone, but it's been a great fit for me. However, on 8/19, I stepped on the rebar window well grate to pick up a dog toy that fell there when I threw it back towards my porch. The grate collapsed under me, I fell seven feet resulting in a spinal fracture that required surgery the next day to fuse five vertebra. I spent my first night back home after about a month of recovery and I saw the rusted window well grate, still there.I haven't spoken to anyone at Treo about my accident. I don't really know what to say. The president of the board was in fact just across the street when this happened. He was the first on the scene to ask if I needed 911, and yelled at one of the neighbors to call when I said yes. I don't know if an incident report was filed. The window well grate remains unsecured, the parts preventing falls long ago rusted. The neighbor who called the police showed another neighbor the fall prevention gizmos attached to his window well and grate that would have prevented my fall. They have lived in this community since it was built. Since **** is responsible for maintenance of all external aspects of our community, and they do a good job with the rest of the things, why not the window well grates? It's a legal matter now. I guess I just wanted to share my experience with the community so that other community members don't have a similar one, or worse.
