Hello,
Looking at the reviews it looks like harassment charges and unprofessional conduct is the owners way of handling their business. I also had to charge harassment order with the police on the owner. Sad this business is still running.

I don't have much to say other then I will be pushing my neighbors to end our relationship with this company since it's owner is so unprofessional. Don't be fooled by employee reviews, of course they will say nice things about the people who pay them. The company is unaware of the actual rules that govern the community. Also, this company has performed only a single inspection within 4 years of owning this condo. Subsequently, they attempt to assess fines based on false information, and a lack of awareness of the rules. As a result, I recommend you avoid like its COVID.

This person is so terrible that we filed a harassment report with the police. He would call in the middle of the night when we were sleeping, screaming and swearing into the phone.

Very unprofessional! Our condo building has gone so far down hill since silva took over. Got rid of landscaper and cleaners. They send a guy with a push lawnmower. Once a month. No weed whacking. And he leaves long grass everywhere. From pushing mower to fast. Cleaner does minimal. I have lived in my building for 9 years. Amd it has never looked so bad. Inside and out. Seems funny to me. That every good review is from a contractor or employees. Any work that has been dome by their contractors is so sub par. It's not even funny. And over priced work. I own a condo in a building they manage. And
