A once prize building fast turning...

There was a time this building and its sister building (95) were crown jewels in Toronto. These buildings had by far the biggest units on offer and greatest value in the city. I have lived in this building since 1997 but incessant elevator breakdowns (sometimes for a whole day!) is not only a huge inconvenience but a major safety issue that is not being addressed. For a couple of months in the fall of 2015 the down button on our floor didn't work at all which meant either walking down a flight of stairs to get an elevator or taking the up elevator to go down. Work was supposed to begin on upgrading the elevators January 2016. January has come and gone and a notice in the elevator said that work would begin "sometime this year". Not good enough as this is a basic service that should be easily accessed by apartment residents. Additionally, the windows in this building needed replacing long ago. Leaking has resulted in plaster work around windows needing to be done almost every six months. Cool air comes in which makes units drafty and uncomfortable. I am feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place. I am one of a few people I know who has called the bylaw office and the City Councillor in our area to complain. Morguard Corporation has taken what was once a prize Goldlist Property building and is slowly becoming a slum lord. The unfortunate thing is that the office staff, who are lovely and very attentive, can only follow the decisions of the company and really have no power to improve services unless approved by head office. If you have been considering a move to this building I would really consider these issues before renting here.
