To be fair...........
I have lived in the building for almost 30 years, and we have certainly had our past issues with Management. Several times these issues resulted in our having to go to the Landlord/Tenant Board, which usually ruled in favour of the tenants!
However, to be fair, the situation has vastly improved. We have a terrific couple who are now the Superintendents, as well as a regular building cleaner. The building is now much different in terms of cleanliness and the grounds are looked after. I did have bugs when the chute was closed but the situation was attended to immediately. The relatively new owners visit the building regularly, and I find that in dealing with Offsite Management, if one treats them calmly, professionally, and respectfully, while making it clear that you expect the same from them, one can nearly always resolve issues to the satisfaction of both parties!
I came to live here when I was 40 and I am now almost 72. I have chosen this as my permanent home as I do love it here. I love that I overlook the ravine, I enjoy the tenants,
and I appreciate the relationship I have with Diane Buckley, Gerald, and Dianne - Property Manager and Superintendents respectively.
Because I overlook the Ravine, I have made my balcony into my sanctuary - I enjoy watching the Squirrels and Birds, as well as the flowers that I usually plant each year, weather permitting - this year it didn't! I read, knit, enjoy my breakfast and even my lunch out there.
I also love to sit there in the evening and just enjoy the dusk! It is a place of peace for me.
This building might not be everyone's cup of tea, but for me it is perfect! A haven of peace! Who can ask for more!
