| - Yeah, I am very disappointed with this place. Management insist the carpets (yeah, hi 1982) are cleaned after the unit is vacated, but it was obvious mine hadn't been done when I moved in. Yet they insisted. The cleaners couldn't get that stain out in the living room they said, however I was able to get it out with one application of Prosolve from a bottle!
The previous poster is correct re: the elevators and intercom system. They are SKETCHY and don't work half the time.
When I did my inspection on the first of the month (when I started paying rent), nothing had been done in my place. The ceiling needed to be patched, most of the electrical plates were missing their screws, some baseboard was missing, dirt and a broom had been left on my balcony, and OMG, the tile grout hadn't been cleaned since the building was built. It. Was. BLACK. They don't clean grout though, you have to do that for them and the next tenant. You're welcome.
You have to pay to have the carpets cleaned when you leave (it's in the lease) and they charge for those metal rings around the stove burners, they just conveniently forget to tell you that until after you move in. Yep, doesn't matter if they're in pristine condition. You have to pay.
You're not allowed to change the deadbolt and give them a key, you have to rely on their crappy generic locks which I'm sure can be picked in 4 seconds. Always, get tenants' insurance, it's too cheap to pass up.
They submitted my hydro application late, so I missed the first billing cycle.
Most of the residents seem nice. At the moment, it's a mix of students, young professionals and older folk. Not many children. The building allows pets, and it's pretty quiet.
I got a good deal on a good-sized one + because I have no view to speak of on the 5th floor. I'm out as soon as my lease is up. I've been lied to several times since moving in.
