hahaha oh man. long wait indeed. where did you find this budget?

"Hi Harold, I, like some others am writing to complain about condo amenities being closed. I realize you're likely acting on a complaint from a small number of individuals, and I appreciate you looking to please everyone, however on a whole your decisions affect the whole building. Without a...

Good email. I'm writing him today about the gym as well... I was in there yesterday and it was literally 29C on the thermostat (set to 15C). Terrible conditions for working out. There is zero cold air coming out of the vents. HVAC is one of the most basic components of property management. These...

so damn hot in the hallways. Must be like 29C. That can't be normal. Walking from the far end of one of the wings to the elevator and I'm sweating.

That gets stuck quite regularly. I'll be down there in 45 mins and will fix it.

haha yeah, he's got the best spot in the house. lotsa room and right by the elevator.

It sucks that people park their 2nd car in the visitor's lot, but I'm not sure how/who can enforce it. I just hate when I have people over and there is no where for them to park. Also, there's a douchebag with a purple corvette that I've seen twice now parking on a 45 deg angle taking up 2...

quite a bit there still this morning @ 745. I wonder how they plan to pave around them.

Nothing as far as I know. Also no Enbridge bill yet.

Looks good, Asmegin! The basic triple kitchen light I have is by far the ugliest. I need to replace it. Even the $30 you put it in looks incredible compared to the one I have. It's the actual time/work that is delaying me from swapping them. Maybe if I just go buy some it'll motivate me to...

As a first step I'd go speak with James. He'll give you an explanation so that you know what you're up against. I'm not sure what constitutes an overhead light fixture. Mine look like this: http://productrecalls.areavoices.com/files/2012/08/lite-12197ad.jpg <-----------this is the...

ughh.... I wonder how far down Lolita Gardens I'll have to park if I get home late tonight :( I hope they also clean the underground garage floors while most cars are out - it's filthy in there. I leave dust/dirt on my car floormats when I get in.

Furthermore: 1) no security in the building, no cameras in the hallways. the guy that I ran into back in March was the "site security" while the building was still in a more rudimentary building phase. 2) complaints/requests regarding amenities which should be open to all residents (eg. gym...

Update: I went and spoke with James: 1) they will replace the floorboard after all. Happy to hear it. 2) apparently my front door is not considered MY property, but is instead a "common element", meaning I have no right to declare to Vandyk that it needs fixing. If I had a huge hole in my...

Just received my Vandyk 30 Day Warranty Service Report in the mail. 2 items were deemed "Not warranted": 1) A cracked floorboard which I noticed when I took over the unit. Somehow Vandyk deems this as "no apparent defect in worksmanship and/or materials" which is obviously bullshit. They're...

im guessing it's to fix some of those flooded areas?

paving? what's this about?

turns out you were right, n3ak. I called Enersource and it's their shitty website that doesn't allow you to pay your bill from within the portal once logging in. You have to be logged out to pay via credit card... and they charge the $5.95 surcharge per $250 regardless of whether you have an...

whoever "they" are, they are not the owners of the building, and thus their opinion doesn't mean s**t. It's up to us collectively (via the board) to decide the times (if any). The same way the train makes noise on the south side of the building, the value of the units on that side likely are...

hopefully someone in here forgets to turn the heater back on in the winter and we'll learn whether it's an absolute necessity to have it on during the winter lol. but yeah, some pretty asinine planning by vandyk.
