22 Close Avenue - Toronto, ON
This location seemed like an OK place in this otherwise slum prone
area. However, after constant issues in this building I decided to warn
unsuspecting future renters of the state of affairs here. Yo will deal with
a very rude and dishonest management couple (Greg and Elizabeth).
The elevators are a total nightmare. At first they were constantly out of
service (one in three never worked), now under the 6 months
renovating project only one picks up signals and the other sits on the
24 floor all the time and ignores your request to stop where you are.
The result is a total nightmare - waiting times up to 45 minutes
(minimum 10-15 minutes if you are lucky), travelling by elevator up
and down for at least 10 minutes and stopping on every floor before
landing where you want to go. On the top of that the woman
superintendent is rude and domineering when asked to help with this
issue or any other issue (for example bugs - if you need it more than
once). Heat in your apartment is regulated by her and Greg centrally -
not by you - all the individual controls of heat were removed from the
apartments. So you are stuck with their whims. Don't expect much -
bugs, very poor maintenance (working under the table East European
immigrants doing cheap job on everything around the building),
constantly rising rent and diminishing services (there is no overnight
security guy any longer). The other big problem are regular fires - get
used to being woken up at 2 am by fire siren and the fire crew
presence. And you will never rest here - noise form the highway and
Lakeshore Blvd. West (any event at CNE, etc.) as well as the railroad
will only add to everything else. On more thing - young neglected by
their parents teenagers in this building vandalise the space on regular
basis - throwing stuff from the balcony (smashing glass on the
pavement) during the day! Pot smoke and cigarette fumes will end up
in your apartment for sure, courtesy of your sometimes troubled
neighbours. None of it will be taken care of by your superintendent
couple. They are very skilled at expelling any other assistant
superintendents and spreading lies about them. The result is they can't
upkeep the property the way they should and nobody wants to work
with them.
These people are very poor at maintaining a suitable living environment. Will not supply funds whatsoever to fix and avert future problems. This is at there Burlington, ON location, Round Tree Manor. Garbage everywhere and drug homes.
