I have contacted the Monello Group through phone and e mail on several occasions in an attempt to resolve an issue of broken curbs that were damages during snow removal in front of my home and throughout the development. Even threatening to post a negative review has not elicited a positive response. Jodi Monello, who represents them, has provided a vague response offering to address the issues the town identifies when they finally complete the road in our development sometime in the future.
So, as they are unwilling to act in a decent, reasonable, manner here is my review.
The Monello Group is the developer of Allenwood Estates, a residential development of 10 homes, where I live. The development remains unfinished after 10 years. Until it is completed the Monello Group remain responsible for tasks such a snow removal, something they haven't done in two years. (Thankfully the town has done this even they are not legally obligated to do so) This year the curbs were damaged in a number of areas but, in spite of their ongoing responsibility to fix this issue, they see no urgency. While Mario Monello, the owner of The Monello Group goes between his multimillion dollar residences in Rumson and Boca Raton, we wait and wait for a simple, relatively inexpensive repair. This lack of concern and willingness to create antagonism is his hallmark. If you are in contract, or going into contract on one of his other projects, such as the development on Allaire Rd in Wall, I urge you to get every detail in writing, use your attorney, not his, and expect things to move a his pace, not yours. read more
