| - I have been living in 50 Graydon Hall for just over a month and I'm happy to report that the previous grievance about the inability to sign up with the internet provider of your choice has been resolved. Also, they are in the process of upgrading the look of the elevators. Unfortunately it's the same 50 year old mechanism and they do not work any better than they used to. In an apartment building with 20 floors, and 4 elevators, it some times takes up to 5 minutes for one to show up and then on occasion, two show up at the same time. In their defense, the 4th elevator hasn't worked in over a month. This normally wouldn't be too much of a nuisance except that it is the freight elevator. I had called and spoken with the superintendent, as instructed, in order to reserve the elevator, the week before I was supposed to move in. I showed up with two vehicles piled high with my belongings on the appointed day, so imagine my surprise when not only was my reservation not noted in their book, but I was also told that the service elevator did not work.
Yes, the main floor still smells like a sewer on occasion and the underground parking leaves much to be desired. There are at least 4 or 5 abandoned vehicles with a healthy layer of dust and dirt on them and one car which appears to have been there since the 1980s and looks like something you would find in a junk yard.
The website states that there is a state of the art fitness centre. This is NOT true. What it does fail to mention is that there is a $5.00/night charge if you would like to make use of the guest parking after midnight, but please note that you have to have purchased said guest parking pass before 8 pm.
On the positive side of the column, the residents are generally friendly.
*Update* They came in and "treated" for cockroaches in July and 3 months later, I see more now than I ever did in the first 6 months I was here. I have informed maintenance & they came in and "treated" again, which did not resolve the issue. I have had more luck with a $10 can of Raid, although it has not completely resolved the issue - I only see a bug every other day instead of daily.
