re Filters Not too long after Nicole posted here about the filters, we got a notice about them coming in to change them. I wonder if that is a coincidence or not? Personally, I would rather change the filters myself instead of having to move all my furniture and leave it out of place for the...

Has anybody received any further demands for payment for the window coverings? I feel like the situation is still in limbo, as I have not received an additional demand, and I have not received notice that they are stopping their ridiculous, unethical and dubiously legal pursuit of money for the...

Just got back from the meeting. I am extremely disappointed that Hessam Ghadaki was voted in as a member of our board. Congratulations to Klaus.

Today I received the Turnover Meeting information package in my mailbox. Included in this package are 10 resumes/applications for the position of Board of Directors. Klaus is in there, so I have one vote organized. In terms of other candiates, there is one obvious Times Group affiliate...

I also have popcorn ceilings (except for the kitchen and bathroom). Don't like them. No clue when the final inspection of the building is/was. Am also bothered by the pool (or ice rink) of water on the front steps. littlemonkey: like your idea of emailing Jennie, thanks for the template...

KLAUS: Thank you for clearing up the ballot name, now we can be sure who to vote for. Agu: that makes sense. interested: Thank you very much for posting that information. Very interesting!! I really really encourage anybody who has some spare time today or tomorrow to contact the National...

It is not your problem that the trades they hire don't show up. They should hire better workers, and follow-up on issues instead of ignoring them. Even in the short history of 500 Sherbourne, there is a definite pattern of the builder and management ignoring problems and complaints, and...

blinds My unit closed yesterday. This morning, there was a bill under the door for the blinds. It said if I didn't agree to the payment, contact them to arrange for removal. board I agree that getting people other than the builder on the board is very important. I also don't have the time...

Regarding unfixed PDI items, maybe you should contact Tarion. Try this page for more information: http://www.tarion.com/Warranty-Protection/Statutory-Warranty/Pages/Statutory-Warranty-Process.aspx Tarion needs to know that this builder is not fixing PDI items. I believe such complaints can...

Hi, See if this attachment works for you: If not, it is basically just the following text (format as need be). CONCERNED ABOUT THE COST OF BLINDS? Did you get a letter from Times Group telling you that you had to pay for the blinds that were installed in your suite? Did you order...

Hi Yang, Thanks for the feedback. Great point about having a new thread. However, I am not sure the admins would be interested in doing something like that for us, or how feasible it would be for them? How about we use the url http://tinyurl.com/500blinds/page20 instead? This will direct...

There are a number of people, including myself, who are not happy with the Times Group's finished product at 500 Sherbourne. There is question about the quality of materials used, the slow response time to fix issues, and their recent attempt to make purchasers pay for items they did not order...

Flyer drop Cityboy & Shelfun, thanks for the updates. I would be quite happy to be rid of these blinds and get some nice, well made ones of my choosing instead. I hope the removal and no charge happens. And excellent point regarding the blinds being a fixture! Now, a proposal...

First of all, I am more and more displeased (actually, furious) with this building/builder/managment as each day passes. To be honest, I kind of regret purchasing here, but I'm new to this, so maybe all builders treat their purchasers as poorly as these guys are treating 500 Sherbourne...

It's the engineered hardwood and is brown. The sample they showed me when I purchased the upgraded flooring was in perfect condition. What I have now is garbage. Really expensive garbage.

My hardwood floor is completely ruined due to normal, day-to-day use. I cannot believe what a poor quality product they sold me. Kyle says that I am the only one that has complained. He does not see a quality issue with the floors at all. Roy G Biv, and anybody else who is dissastified...
