JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 A New York-based property management company overseeing six Jacksonville apartment communities may soon face two separate lawsuits from local companies claiming they weren\u2019t paid for the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of work they did at the apartments.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Spear Security Operations sued Aurox Equities, the property manager of the apartment complexes, for more than $218,000 in security services it claims it provided to the apartments but was never paid for.<\/p>\n
Those apartment communities include:<\/p>\n
Action News Jax spoke with a woman living at the Shore House Apartments,<\/a> who told us she always sees the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office responding to the complex and hasn\u2019t felt safe for the past year she has lived there.<\/p>\n We reported last month<\/a> that one of the apartments at Shore House burned down. The family living at the apartment said they didn\u2019t have a fire extinguisher in their unit.<\/p>\n \u201cThey won\u2019t keep security in the complex, and I don\u2019t really think they care to, just from the way that they treat their residents,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n She didn\u2019t want to share her name, but she did share a receipt of the 24 separate maintenance requests she said she has filed for repairs to her A\/C unit over the last year. She said the unit is still not working despite the number of times she has asked for it to be fixed.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s disgusting actually, because I was, like, crying,\u201d she said, \u201cI had to leave my apartment so many times with my fiance and my daughter because we couldn\u2019t live here.\u201d<\/p>\n Aurox, the property manager, may soon find itself in the middle of another lawsuit from a Jacksonville company claiming it wasn\u2019t paid for services it provided. Anixa Nazario, owner of H&N Remodeling & Cleaning Services, sent Action News Jax a list of invoices showing the more than $54,000 she claims she\u2019s still waiting to receive from Aurox, months after the maintenance jobs she did at the apartments they manage.<\/p>\n She told Action News Jax she has already been talking with a lawyer about filing a lawsuit.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s out of our hands. Like it\u2019s not fair,\u201d Nazario said, \u201cthey only care about their financials and the business. They don\u2019t care about the small business owner. That\u2019s me.\u201d<\/p>\n Action News Jax sent an email to Aurox Equities asking for a response to the lawsuit from Spear Security Operations and the claims made by Nazario and her company. We\u2019re still waiting for a response.<\/p>\n The woman at the Shore House Apartments believes the complex isn\u2019t safe or secure enough for anyone to live there and is demanding the maintenance and security concerns to be addressed.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not fair to people to feel like they\u2019ve spent all of this money to live in an apartment, or just to keep a roof over their head and be treated like nothing,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <\/b><\/a><\/p>\n [DOWNLOAD: <\/b>Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/b><\/a>]<\/b><\/p>\n [SIGN UP: <\/b>Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter<\/b><\/a>] <\/b><\/p>\n Click here<\/b><\/a> to download the free Action News Jax news and weather apps, <\/b>click here<\/b><\/a> to download the Action News Jax Now app for your smart TV and <\/b>click here<\/b><\/a> to stream Action News Jax live.<\/b><\/p>\n Action News Jax Top Stories<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 A New York-based property management company overseeing six Jacksonville apartment communities may soon face two…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":386571,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5136],"tags":[7320,5229,7323,3188,723,7324,7310,7327,7325,7326,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,7322,7321],"class_list":{"0":"post-386570","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jacksonville","8":"tag-action-news-jax","9":"tag-america","10":"tag-cbs47","11":"tag-fl","12":"tag-florida","13":"tag-fox30","14":"tag-jacksonville","15":"tag-jacksonville-fl","16":"tag-northeast-florida","17":"tag-southeast-georgia","18":"tag-united-states","19":"tag-united-states-of-america","20":"tag-unitedstates","21":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","22":"tag-us","23":"tag-usa","24":"tag-wfox","25":"tag-wjax"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115568361353228957","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=386570"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386570\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/386571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=386570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=386570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=386570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
