      RowCal has been the *** manager of Montarbor *** for over a year. I have been inquiring for nearly 2 months between the *** and RowCal as to what is the mailbox number for my property which has an active tenant. The *** states because the responsibility has been outsourced to RowCal they are responsible to hold this information. RowCal is also the *** **** collector. However, RowCal repeatedly states the responsibility is on Montarbor ***. As a dues paying member RowCal is responsible to provide this information. I have spoken to over 6 RowCal employees and they all provide the same standard response as if they are a robotic answering system.

      We understand the importance of having accurate mailbox information, and we apologize for any confusion during this process.

      Once the request was escalated, we were able to provide the mailbox number from the communitys official records on 3/28. Unfortunately, the information was not initially accepted by the homeowner due to conflicting information from a previous tenant. We did share the details that we have on file, and we have not received any further communication since then, which suggests to us the issue has been resolved.

      We recognize that our Care Team initially did not have direct access to the mailbox list to the homeowner, and we are taking steps to ensure this information is readily available moving forward. As the requested information was received days before the complaint was received by us, we are asking the BBB to close this case as resolved. Thank you.

      I asked RowCal, who manages our property, about inspecting the rotting wood on our porch and installing a guardrail for the front porch. They responded that they would send someone to inspect the wood, and the porch would be our responsibility to pay.Nobody showed to inspect the wood.Nobody provided an estimate on the work for the guardrail.I NEVER authorized installation of the guardrail!I NEVER told anyone to come and do the work.Someone showed up put a guardrail in and billed us $1,700 without our consent. When we brought it to our community manger's attention, she said the following: Below are the reasons why the invoice for the handrail installation remains valid and is expected to be paid:Homeowner Responsibility: When the work order was placed, it was clarified that the handrail is the homeowners ***************** Cancellation or Change Request: The work order was never removed from the system, and no communication was received stating that you did not wish for the installation to ************ Completed: The handrail installation was completed in late January/early February.Delayed Dispute: The concern over payment has only now been raised, well after the work was performed.Given these factors, the invoice will remain on your account and must be paid.

      Rowcal is a property management company that has recently acquired the previous property *******. Using the same phone number so we cant even call the other *******. In the month of 12/24 the old and new management ACHs our bank account for $280.00. Each For a total of $560.00. We have contacted them multiple time and provided all documents they requested. Trying to get back our $280.00 We reached out again 3/11/25 and no call back or email.

      Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand your concerns regarding the duplicate assessment payments in December 2024 and regret the inconvenience this caused.

      Your Director of Community Management first reached out on January 21, 2025, requesting additional information to process your refund. As we did not receive a response at that time, the matter remained open. However, we were able to connect with you on March 17, 2025, gather the needed details, and promptly submit your refund request. The refund has since been approved, and a check will be mailed to you.

      We're happy to say this issue has not only been resolved but we've been able to connect with you to let you know the outcome. We ask the BBB to close this case as it has been resolved.

      This is regarding RowCal in ********, **. Our condo community used to be managed by ******* for many years, then RowCal bought them out. RowCal has been unresponsive and unprofessional. I was experiencing a ceiling leak - I am in a 1st floor condo, with my neighbor upstairs on the 2nd floor. I immediately reported the leak on 2/4/25 to my local RowCal office and the community manager **** ****** was dismissive and without even looking at my submitted photos or sending someone to take a look at the leak, he said that it was a plumbing issue and to take it up with my neighbor upstairs. The leak is occurring in the bedroom where there is no sink, and the leak is occurring at the junction between the wall and ceiling where the window is. I called RowCal office and they say they will get back to me in 3-5 business days. How is this acceptable for an emergent situation? I ended up having to call my own independent contractor AND leak technician to assess the problem, so that I can pass along the reports to RowCal in hopes this will expedite their process because they have done NOTHING for me at this point. RowCal eventually sent over a roofer, despite it not being a roof issue as I live on the 1st floor. The roofer determined nothing is wrong with the roof then left. I called RowCal AGAIN and they claim they will send RowCal *********************************************** to caulk or tarp around my unit and my upstair neighbor's unit as a temporary measure. They went to the WRONG CONDO and performed work on the wrong place! Nobody called to confirm if the technician/staff was at the right place. That very week I received notice that RowCal will no longer be managing our condo community starting 3/1/2025. The vendor working with RowCal, had the decency to inform me that RowCal has dropped the ball and will no longer be following up as of 2/19/2025 due to the future change in management. They refuse to issue authorization for the vendor to start work. I am screwed over by this terrible company.

      Business Response

      Date: 02/28/2025

      We are incredibly sorry for how your issue was mishandled and want you to know it certainly is not the RowCal way. The employee who was responsible for the mishandling is no longer with our team. While we understand it does not change your experience, we hope it does alleviate some of your frustrations to know we've corrected misalignment on our end. 

      Our Director of Maintenance has reached out several times via phone this week to communicate what has been done and what still needs to happen but has not been able to connect with you. Please be sure to return their call as soon as possible to find out this important information. At this time, caulking has taken place around the appropriate window/door but the full repair cannot be done without ********* approval which is still pending and out of our control.

       I am rejecting this response because:
      The board members have unanimously decided to make a change in management companies.

      The ********* of Directors has been was VERY unhappy with the performance of RowCal since they bought out Compass Management last fall. RowCal's customer service was non-existent. Urgent phone calls and emails about service issues went unanswered. The assigned Property Manager, **** ****** failed to appear at the January and February meetings. And **** also failed to handle most of the Property Management duties that we reasonably expected him to handle including generating meeting agendas, producing monthly newsletters and approving vendor invoices for payment.
      Therefore, the ********* of Directors by unanimous vote terminated the RowCal contract.

      I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding the lack of response from RowCal, our property management company, concerning urgent maintenance issues at our residence located at ******************************************************************************. Despite multiple attempts to communicate via phone and email regarding the need for rock salt ice melt in the common area surrounding my wifes parking spot, we have yet to receive any acknowledgment or action from RowCal. This negligence has resulted in a hazardous situation, as my wife has already experienced a fall, fortunately without ********* of January 10, 2025, we have not received any response for an entire week, and with the current snowfall, the ice hazard is now concealed, increasing the risk of further accidents. It is concerning that RowCal appears indifferent to the potential liability this situation poses, particularly regarding my wife's safety.Paid approximately $383 for their services...

      We understand your concerns regarding the icy conditions around your parking area, and are very sorry to hear about your wife's fall. We have been in contact with A-1 Landscaping to verify they have been actively salting and removing snow at the property in accordance with their contract. Per their agreement, shoveling occurs when accumulation reaches two inches, and there is no expectation for them to remove snow between vehicles. 

      Regarding your recent attempts to reach out, our Director of Community Management was temporarily unavailable last week due to an office relocation, and an auto-responder was in place during this time to let residents know there would be a delay. We want to assure you that have been and will continue to keep working with the vendor to ensure the property is treated as needed and as contracted to address these issues correctly.

      We ask the BBB to please close this case as snow was being removed and salted as contracted with the vendor.

      On 12/30/2024 Mr. ***** ********* stated he would investigate the matter we sent him and still no reply, after he asked for a video of the tumbler not working and it was sent. First, on 1/3/2025 he stated I spoke to ******* about this yesterday. The rear door is key lock and not broken. The next email on the 1/3/2025 by Mr. ********* stated, The door will be checked by a contractor to make sure it is working properly. Today is 1/16/2025 and still no answer about the door or acknowledgement of receiving the video.

She did state she had a copy of Ms. ******* ******** CAM ******* Number and would send it to us. On 12/30/2024. Mr. ********* stated in an email There was an issue with the state in filing the managers license, and she should have been in their system having met all of the licensing requirements.  Thank you for brining that to our attention.  It was resolved.

      I own a condo unit and Rowcal is the property management company for our association. Our hot water heater has gone out 5 times in the last three weeks. It sometimes is not repaired for 2 days and we are left without hot water. The unit obviously needs replacing and they havent replaced it yet. This is extremely frustrating.We pay monthly dues of $651.

      Business Response

      Date: 12/11/2024

      We understand how frustrating it can be to experience repeated issues with the water heater, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. We also want to clarify that we've been working behind the scenes on a final solution if necessary.

      The water heater has been repaired multiple times by our vendor, and each time it was restored to working condition. After the most recent repair, there were no reported issues with the hot water for over a week. During this period, we proactively obtained three proposals for a full replacement, as we wanted to be prepared if the repairs didnt hold up.

      Given the significant cost of a full replacement (approximately $18,000), the board and management felt it prudent to initially pursue repairs. However, after the most recent issue with the water heater, the board made the decision to proceed with a full replacement. We are pleased to report a vendor will begin the replacement tomorrow at 7 AM, as soon as they were available to schedule the work.

      We appreciate your patience and understanding as we worked to resolve this issue in fiscally responsible manner for your community, and we are committed to ensuring the continued comfort and satisfaction of all residents. With the issue being promptly addressed, we ask that the complaint be closed.

      RowCal took over the HOA management of our association in August 2024, and instructed homeowners to set up accounts in their portal for the payment of the HOA fees. I followed their instructions, set up my account, only to discover that the account balance was wrong. I notified RowCal, provided documentation about pre-payments I had made of the HOA fees, and asked them to correct the balance. They refused, and asked me to keep checking my account for the next 2 months for any updates! They have not acknowledged their accounting mistake, and they keep charging my account with HOA fees that have been already paid. RowCal's accounting is fraudulent. If, following this complaint, they again fail to fix the problem, I will sue them for fraud. There are several homeowners facing the exact same problem, and RowCal has done nothing to address the problem for weeks.

      Business Response

      Date: 10/28/2024

      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration you've experienced during this transition period. The process of transferring and updating account information over from the previous management company, including ending balances, requires manual input. This process can take up to 60 days to fully reflect the correct amounts in our system.

      We understand how concerning this can be, and we are working diligently to ensure that all account balances are accurate. We appreciate your patience as we continue to update accounts and rest assured that any pre-payments you have made will be properly credited. It's also important to note that during the account balance transitioning, no late fees will be charged.

      Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any further concerns at *******************. We are committed to resolving this matter for you and all affected homeowners as quickly as possible.

      Customer Answer

      Date: 11/05/2024

       I am rejecting this response because:

      When homeowners created accounts, as instructed by RowCal, on RowCal's site, their account balances were wrong. RowCal never communicated that the account balances could or would be wrong, as they were for many homeowners. RowCal did communicate that they will not be charging late fees for the 60 days of the transition. But imagine that: they had the balances wrong and they were assuring homeowners that they will not charge late fees when their own accounting was wrong, as if this is of any value. Well, they failed even in that promise: RowCal did charge late fees, and then apologized and tried to reverse the erroneously charged late fees that came on top of wrong balances. But there was never a word about the wrong balances.

      In their response to BBB, RowCal now claims that the data entry is manual: fine, but to enter the ending account balances for 200 units is a matter of 2-3 hours by a single individual,  and not a 60 day "transition" process. RowCal could have let the homeowners know that the account balances will be wrong, and that they will not reflect the ending account balances of the previous company, but they chose not to do it.

      For 1.5 months I have been trying to get an answer and an acknowledgment of the problem from anyone at RowCal, including their CEO, only to get the same response about the 60-day transition period, without any acknowledgment about their flawed accounting and the balance errors on their portal. I point out that this is not RowCal's first acquisition of another HOA management company: they have been down that road before, they had complaints before, and they learned nothing.

      RowCal's response to BBB fails to take responsibility for the problem: it is important to note that as of this writing, RowCal has yet to communicate to homeowners that there is a problem with the account balances and that "they are working to correct it," which is the minimum they could have done.

      Business Response

      Hi Loukas,
      I was hoping to reach you today to discuss your account and the reason for the delay in our application of your prepaid assessments being reflected on your account.

      I have attached two account ledgers for you:
      - First showing the Charge Groups, reflecting the Prepaid balances applied to your account
      - Second showing the Assessments & Payments, with your account balance being *****
       
      During the transition from Pioneer to RowCal, we allow a grace period of 60 days with no late fees while we collect incoming payments and reconcile the account balances from the transfer of accounting. While yes, if upon transition, all the payments had been applied, the upload up data would be an easy a quick process. However, in order to capture association incoming funds and process the association financials appropriately, there is a window in which we must wait to apply all previous balances.

      I will be speaking with the team to ensure that going forward this is communicated better and more frequently with homeowners of incoming associations and your feedback is important to our growth and refinement in this process.

      I will be back in the office on Monday, November 11th, should you have any questions and need to reach out. You have my contact information here and on the voicemail I left you.

      Thank you,
      Ashley ***

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID 22472163.

      RowCal has finally corrected my account balance, and, as best as it has been reported to me, RowCal has also corrected the account balances of other homeowners. In this sense I accept that RowCal's action resolved the complaint. However, I outright reject RowCal's explanations that continue to put forward the company's flawed accounting practices as a justification for the treatment of the homeowners. RowCal's acquisition of Pioneer (the previous HOA management company) was not their first, and I am certain that they had faced similar complaints before, and yet they repeated the same mistakes.

      I had never before filed a complaint with BBB against anyone for any reason: it should never have gotten to this point. And it would never have gotten to this point, had the various RowCal employees who had responded to my original concern knew what they were doing. As far as I am concerned, the facts speak to RowCal's management, accounting, communication, and customer relations problems.

      Thank you

      I am a part of the *********** neighborhood in ************ and as a part of that we are under a **********************. Our current HOA is externally managed by RowCal. Neither our ********* of Directors, nor RowCal is returning emails. We have requested for an election for a new Board of Directors because our existing board has been serving beyond the contractually agreed terms and are non-responsive. Many of us have reached out to RowCal for assistance numerous times and they have stopped responding. I asked to file a formal complaint with RowCal and they responded confirming the received my email but no further action. July 2 we received a communication from RowCal that the current BOD was going to step down and a new vote would be held. Since then there has been no further communication from RowCal on this. When other *** members call to inquire they are told the meeting is on the calendar on their website but there is no meeting. We are being gaslighted by them and we have no one to help us. One *** member has sold their house and still they will not work with us. The fact that the parent company has not responded is infuriating and makes a future partnership with this company dangerous. Perhaps the BBB can help us to get a response?

      Hi *****, we know you've been in communication with your Community Manager, ****** already but wanted to reiterate the information here as well. We have been diligently working with the board to establish a date, time and location for the 2024 Annual Meeting. Unfortunately, they had not agreed to a set time prior to this complaint, yet we're pleased to say an announcement of the meeting will happen today to all members of the association. It will be December 3, 6:30 pm at **************************.

      We thank you for your patience as we've been working to secure this date. Although, we have been working hard with the board to establish a public date, we can only do so much, and cannot force the board into action. Please watch your email today for a "Save the Date" and then a formal letter will be mailed 30 days prior to the meeting. We request this complaint be closed now as the desired settlement has been reached.

      RowCal acquired Compass Management which managed both my HOA accounts. In turn, I was alerted that each HOA account received new account numbers. I received a letter with information on one (Heritage Masters) but not the other. My desire was to have both account numbers so that auto-payments could be setup with my online banking. Using the email address provided in the letter by RowCal, I contacted its Care Team for the missing account number on Aug 18. On Aug 20, I followed up a second time with the same question, copying Compass Management in the process. On Aug 21, after still no reply, Compass Management asked RowCal Care Team to please respond. On Aug 22, Compass confirmed RowCal was responding to emails and asked that I wait until end of day for them to respond. It took until Aug 28, ten days later, for ********************* on the RowCal Care Team to finally get back. **** did not provide the missing account info and instead simply asked if everything was resolved. Frustrated by Asias reply and the 10-day wait period, I responded by asking Asia to please instructing me how I can submit a complaint about the 10-day wait time. **** did not comply. On Aug 29, I received a response from ************************* who stated Your complaint was already previously forwarded over to the correct department by Asia. She too did not comply with my request for submitting a complaint. In turn, I responded by ASKING AGAIN. On Aug 30, ********************* who apparently is the RowCal Care Team manager replied by saying the issue has been resolved and any complaints about her team should be addressed to her. Yet again, **** did not comply with my request for submitting a complaint. When I asked to speak with her manager, she did not comply. I tried reaching out to RowCal directly, but the public phone number steers you to the Care Team. As a last attempt to reach the company, I submitted a business inquiry via RowCals website. Again, NO RESPONSE.

      Our HOA was switched over to Rowcal last year. We received an email stating that "There will be no change to your current representative(s) that you work with regularly at Prism Managment, they will simply be supported with further technology enhancements and team members!" This was on December 15, 2023. There as more fine print, but as it said there were not changes, I didn't change my auto pay. We received notice that our payments weren't going through so we were behind a few months and we had 6 months to make it even. I started paying $75 extra a month on top of our fees. A few months later we get a certified letter from a law firm that now we have hundreds of dollars of late fees, attorney fees, etc. We have called and emailed Rowcal multiple times trying to figure out a payment plan, to figure out where this all went wrong, and to STOP the egregious piling on of fees. There are SEVERAL others in our neighborhood ************** making the same complaints. I even went to the Rowcal office but plastered out front is WILL NOT BE SEEN WITHOUT APPOINTMENT. But we can't get ahold of anyone to make an appointment. We want to pay what we owe, but these additional fees are out of control. Today I can't access my account and we were told our autopay for this month didn't go through. But I can't talk to anyone or access anything to fix it!! I am freaking out and need help. This can't be legal. CONTACT US ROWCAL

       I am rejecting this response because:

      We apologize but due to legal action already in place, we are no longer at liberty to negotiate independently of that channel. We understand that is not the desired result but do request the complaint be closed as this is the advice of our counsel.
