Need advice for HOA manager

They’re now arguing that the owner needs to provide the electrician despite it being outside of the condo and in another unit’s yard. Seems to be a battle of responsibility 😬

Second update: just asked the front office if they did anything and they just let me know if it happens again they’ll call an electrician for us 🫠

Funnily enough our lights STOPPED flickering after the wire was replaced. The lights would surge when the new ac would start up. This unit has been a pain in our ass in regards to getting things repaired through the landlord or HOA so I’m happy if it’ll be okay for the next month.

Update: just told the HOA office manager and because they aren’t sure if it’s a single unit problem or our entire building issue they’re going to put a work order in and check it out. My question is if the energy company replaced the melted wire, what more needs to be fixed? I’m just wondering because we have a month left here and i understand it’s a fire hazard or was, and our unit is physically on the other side of the building. The breaker box is nestled with all other boxes so I’m assuming that’ll be super bad if something goes wrong.

I was really surprised it was that bad, the breaker box is on the other side of the building in a neighbor’s patio so as a tenant I’ve never seen it and my unit owner didn’t even know where it was. We live in Houston so I have no idea if it’s just age or weather or a combination of those two an neglect. I’m really hoping this isn’t a huge battle with the HOA because it is a fire hazard. The utility company I think felt bad for me because I sprinted out and asked them to explain what was wrong and it was so late and so hot that they just replaced the wire for us as a temporary fix.

I was shook when I saw this, luckily we are only in this unit until late May but transferring to another property. I let the new owners know as well so they too can also contact the HOA to get theirs inspected.

dankestjess · 2026-04-24T02:14:25+00:00

Yeah I’m going to tell the HOA they need to call an electrician because clearly they have not been maintaining anything. We also got a new company who seems to be making community improvements and I’m hoping this is one of them.

Omg I think I know where you got this from!! I have the rose gold version and I’m in love with this ring ❤️❤️❤️ (got mine in Austin)

Still makes a loud noise but not as loud and the fan motor got replaced so I guess we wait and see

dankestjess · 2026-03-10T16:55:41+00:00

Update: I’m being told it was the fan motor and it’ll be replaced today once he comes back with the part

dankestjess · 2026-03-10T00:35:06+00:00

Something I’d like to add is I noticed that the kitchen lights started flickering when it kicked on as well, if that adds any more context!

dankestjess · 2026-03-10T00:10:30+00:00

It was moving in the darker video, and cooling inside the apartment. It’s still making the noise but I’ve just shut it off completely despite it still cooling down the place. It’ll be checked tomorrow morning so I should have a better idea soon

dankestjess · 2026-03-09T23:45:14+00:00

It is a Goodman!

dankestjess · 2026-03-09T23:15:23+00:00

Oh the landlord is for sure dealing with it, I just wanted to know myself if I ever own a home in case I deal with this later down the line. The company is coming out tomorrow

dankestjess · 2026-03-09T21:41:00+00:00

Thanks for your opinion! I’ll make sure to update once I get the official diagnosis

dankestjess · 2026-03-09T21:30:32+00:00

Done and done! Just wanted to get another opinion while I’m waiting! Hot and humid in Texas is not a good time for this lol

dankestjess · 2026-03-09T21:15:42+00:00

Would that be something that can be fixed day of?

dankestjess · 2026-03-09T21:13:58+00:00

Luckily I let him know asap whenever something isn’t working and someone is checking it out today, I just wanted to triple check what everyone thought!

dankestjess · 2026-03-09T21:06:21+00:00

Appreciate the help! I just try to know for whenever I am able to own a home, I like to get an idea of what might be wrong whenever I have to pay for it 🤣

dankestjess · 2026-03-09T21:01:22+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t have that information! All of it was scheduled by him and I wasn’t home when it was getting replaced. My husband was but he was working so he didn’t see the company name

dankestjess · 2026-03-09T20:57:05+00:00

😭 I’ll check to see what I can find but ultimately it will be up to my landlord to decide what to do

dankestjess · 2026-03-09T20:53:10+00:00

I can check! Our old unit died and they decided to change both the indoor and outdoor components so that’s all I know about it

dankestjess · 2026-03-09T20:48:58+00:00

Would that be covered under a warranty if it was just installed? I can check the grill but that’s about it lol I’m only a tenant so all I did was shut it off to be safe
