What we found about Hazelcrest
Real estate sites list Hazelcrest Condominiums as a neighborhood in Hazelwood, and individual listings name Hazelcrest Condo and Hazelcrest III Condo. Listings for Hazelcrest Drive and Sieloff Drive give 1965 and 1966 as the year built, and describe brick buildings, one or two stories, with a pool and clubhouse.
Association fees differ by listing. One says the fee includes water, sewer, trash, snow removal and exterior maintenance. Another says it covers all exterior maintenance and leaves the interior to the owner. Both are single listings, so read your own declaration before you assume anything.
Owner or association: a starting guide
These are common patterns in condo communities, not a statement of your rules. Your declaration and bylaws decide who pays, so use this table to decide whom to call first.
| Situation | Often handled by | First call |
|---|---|---|
| Leak from a fixture inside your unit | The owner | A plumber, after you close your unit's shutoff |
| Slow drain in your own sink or tub | The owner | A plumber for drain cleaning |
| Water through the ceiling from the unit above | Depends on the cause and your declaration | Management and your neighbor, then a plumber for your side |
| Backup in a shared line that serves several units | Often the association | Management first |
| Water heater inside your unit | Usually the owner | A plumber, after checking whether the association needs notice |

Call (314) 461-6239When water crosses from one unit to another
Water that reaches a neighbor involves other people, so the order of steps matters.
- Close your own shutoff. Turn off the valve to your unit and stop using water.
- Tell management. Report it right away, since a shared line may need to be isolated for the whole building.
- Photograph the damage. Take pictures before cleanup, because you may need them for a claim.
- Call a plumber for your side. We can find where the water is coming from and fix what belongs to you.
- Ask your insurer. Ask whether your condo policy covers the damage and what documents it needs.
If the source is hidden inside a wall, leak detection finds it without opening more drywall than needed. A failed supply line in your unit is a job for burst pipe repair.
Landlords and rental units in Hazelcrest
The City of Hazelwood requires rental property owners to register each rental unit with the City by January 31 every year. When we checked, the City page listed a $35 fee per property and periodic inspections to check health and safety standards. The page does not say which items inspectors check.
The City also runs a Residential Occupancy Permit Program, and Code Enforcement inspects residential units when occupancy changes. Fixing a leak or a dead water heater quickly, and keeping the invoice, gives you a record if a tenant or inspector asks. See water heater repair for what that work involves.
