   I’m a resident of 2 Secord. Is there an external party I can complain to re: property manager and primary supers?

   The property manager never returns calls or emails. The primary supers just don’t care about much.

     Sorry to hear about the problems with your property management staff.

     Making phone calls and sending emails might not be an effective way to notify your superintendent/landlord of building problems. You need to send a complaint letter clearly outlining the problems. You need to include the various dates and times you notified them of the problem in a bullet point format, not large paragraphs. Also tenants who send their complaint letter by ‘registered mail’ usually received a quick response from the superintendent/landlord. A registered letter is associated with those who have obtained legal advice.

     Finally, it is recommended that you contact the Federation of Metro Tenants Association (FMTA) for advice at their Tenant Hotline: 416-921-9494

     The Hotline operates from 8:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. After-hours callers can leave a detailed message, which will be responded to on the next business day.

     Regards,

   We came to this apartments about 1 year ago . Everything was good when we first came here at 165 Barrington . If we ask for any help we get very fast . There is 2 lady work here , 1 is superintend and other just sit in the apartments lobby office . Few days ago there is some problem about water in 15 floor . I saw my apartment roof is licking and water dripping from roof . I was so confused so I thought I should go downstairs and ask them about it . I went there and found the superintend is talking with fire service people . I told her about the water and she act like she don’t care what I am telling to her . She is so rude and arrogant . She told me, I can’t do anything for you than I told her , I have so many furniture in my apartment so what should I do ??? And than she make her face like she so disturb and than she told me she can’t do anything for me . Can you believe ?? How rude they are ?? Never come here I am telling you . Once we ask for spray coz too many cockroach and they didn’t sand anyone . I told them 4 times I need spray but they seems like they don’t care about tenant problem . We are paying all most 900$ a month so we deserve some fxxking care from them . Never come here for rent coz they don’t know how to talk or behave or how to taking care their tenants at all . Be ware from 165 barrington apartment . I will move as soon as possible .

   Hi everyone,

   Just so you are all aware, there were 3 break-ins (on the 5th, 7th and 10th floors) and 1 break-in attempt (on the 9th floor) yesterday at 165 Barrington. The break-ins occurred during the business day when the tenants were at work. This is very shocking considering since we have a security guard on-patrol as well as security cameras. What happened to ensuring safety and security? Was the security guard asleep? Did he perform his rounds?

   Apparently, the criminal(s) stole items to make quick sales. Items stolen included personal items such as jewelry, heirlooms, laptop computers, digital cameras, cellular phones, etc.

   I find it hard to believe that no one noticed anything out-of-the ordinary on the affected floors. I am hoping that this post will accomplish the following 2 things:

   1 – get the tenants to come forward and bring up any suspicious behaviour and/or observations from yesterday.

   2 – get the management of 165 Barrington to take safety and security issues a lot more seriously!!!

   Let’s work together to make these things happen!
