This company said they came into our apartment and tested the decibel reading after repairing broken fire alarms in the hallway and throughout the building we live in. Since this didn't happen, this info was hard to swallow. We asked the company to retract mention of our unit from their report, but they refused!
We were grateful they finally admitted no one came into our apartment. Still, the report in the AOAO office says otherwise and this dosn't sit well with us (reason for this not so stellar review).
This company is one we will not hire to perform any fire safety work for us in the future.

Sonia,
In an effort to address your reply (which was extensive) I will start by clearly stating I have not misinterpreted your reports. Also, as a member of the AOAO that hired your company, you are incorrect in assuming I am not your client. Your company identifies locations of the bells in our building using the words "middle", "mauka" and "makai", not by individual apartment numbers. But your people do in fact enter apartments. In November 2016 they came into my apartment using a decibel reader and confirmed the alarms could not be heard in our unit. Shockingly, your people found two alarms on our floor were not working (after having passed an Annual Fire Safety Inspection by your company just a few months earlier)! Furthermore, your people assured me they would return to retest my unit after the repairs were made. After months of waiting, I received a report dated December 2016 alluding to the fact that Ohana Control Systems had reentered and retested our apartment last year (mentioning our unit by name) which never happened! As this document is now a permanent record of the AOAO, pursuing correction of the inaccuracy in that report has been my sole purpose for contacting Ohana Control Systems.
In working with your CEO and in reviewing the fire safety issues that have emerged, I have lost confidence in your company's ability to provide assurance that our buildings fire safety systems Ohana Control System inspects and maintains, are working as they should. The D+ rating your company maintains with the BBB coincides with my own rating of Ohana Control Systems. read more
