Eighteen months ago, Gail Cieskowicz paid a contractor to fix several windows in her condo at Ashley Commons in an effort to stop cold air from blowing in.
The draft had been forcing her to shell out big bucks for heat.
The fix cost her $2,400 dollars, but it's a financial burden she says she was promised would be shared. Her condo association, Red Star Equities said they would reimburse half of that cost.
Initially, she says she was told it would take just a few weeks, but 18 months later, she still hasn't seen a penny.
The condo association keeps giving excuses of why they aren't ready to pay out the money. And it's those excuses, she says, are keeping her from accessing the money she really needs.
At 64-years-old, Cieskowicz is taking medication for high blood pressure, an irregular heart beat, and even breast cancer that she recently beat.
She says she needs the money to pay for some of testing and medication insurance won't cover.
Channel 7 spoke to the property manager of Red Star Equities. They say they've fallen on hard times due to some other outstanding bills. but that they have every intention to pay.
Channel 7's Taking Action team plans to stay on top of them it to make sure that they do.
