Car Broken into
My car was broken into.
In the parking garage!
Now either someone who lives in the units broke into my car,
Or someone let some kids who don't live in the building follow them into the parking garage.
I just wanted to let everyone know that this happened.
Please be careful who you let into the garage.
My car was broken into as
My car was broken into as well...... It is unfortunate, I feel violated... Plus the garage door has been broken for days last week! I reported it..... Also I do challenge who is down in the underground, they get their nose out of joint, but I don't care, I want to know that if some one is following me in the garage they have a key, or the remote to get in...
If your cars are the first
If your cars are the first two cars broken into the underground garage, I am sorry to say that these individuals finally decided to move in to your complex as the new target. My complex was a target before as well since our complexes are not far from each other. Unfortunately, their pattern is going back again and again until your property management and board are able to have better security. Management and board MUST send out notices to be delivered by hand from door to door to all residents notifying of these break-ins. I strongly advise that you demand from management that these notices are sent out before this week is over. Secret is not to leave, even a penny, inside cars parked as they will smash car windows just to steal coins. And never have any remotes to the garage doors left inside since they will take those too.
Other developments are going
Other developments are going through the same thing but from what I have heard, the board and property management initially retain a security patrol on foot until surveillance camera is installed. It appears that the culprits target new developments knowing that security system has not been in place yet but they will move on to the next new development or stop coming into your development once security has been put in place. Make sure all residents are aware and observe crime prevention procedures. Please make sure that you report the incident with the police.
Sorry to hear that.
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately it's a common problem all over the city... you can't leave anything in plain sight. Luckily these instances are happening much less frequently in our development. You should email the board of directors and/or Taft, our property management company, and let them know about your car.
Has anyone had or heard of
Has anyone had or heard of issues with teh dryer vents.
My dryer isn't venting in my unit.
When I bought it seemed that the current owners didn't have a dryer hooked up but I thought nothing of
it as they were in the process of moving out.
If anyone else has had issues please let me know.
Thank you
I found it rather strange
I found it rather strange that property management is taking strong action for residents who are unable to comply regarding use of white color for all shades, windows etc. However, property management are unable to perform their duty with regards to use of visitor's parking. This has been an ongoing issue since day one and yet property management has done nothing.
Once the board has been set
Once the board has been set up, property management takes instructions from the board. Management cannot just act on matters without instruction from the board. In other words, take matters with the board for any issues and concerns.
Parking garage
Last Friday I caught 9 kids hanging out in stairwell C. When I entered, 6 of them scattered and the other 3 stayed. When I got to the top, another kid tried to break get in to the stairwell, but I scared him off. When I went back down to my car to grab something, one of them tried to follow me in. When I asked him if he lived there, he said no but his friend did. I told him he had no business in the garage and escorted all 3 out of the stairwell.
Please try to be diligent when entering and exiting the garage. Do not let anyone in that doesn't look like they belong.
Thanks,
R
That is scary, we always do,
That is scary, we always do, but unfortunately not everyone likes it when we ask if they have a garage door opener? Thanks for the info, it's important that we keep our eyes open at all times.... Does anyone know what or who is part of the board? Are we going to be informed as to what they are going to do? And also out these people parking all over the place? Not only in visiters , but also all along the back as well?
I have started to monitor the
I have started to monitor the same vehicles that park in the visitors area and i have copied there licence plate number, I have spoken to city hall and i was told to start calling the tow trucks and parking enforcement. I cant wait to see this happen.
You should try to spend your
You should try to spend your energy on positive thinking.... In my last condo they had a pay visitor parking system. After midnight you have to pay through the phone and register your plate and that generates some money for the condo....
Thank You
We are all behind you for calling the tow trucks!!!!! And to the person who said they rent here and need to park.... Well , if the landlord does not rent you a parking spot along with the apartment, then you will have to purchase a parking sticker and pay, yes pay, for street parking....... That is life, and if you don't want to pay for street parking do what the other person kindly suggested, rent a spot below.....
We are also going to start writing down plates, all the famous cars parked all over the place, including in the fire route, yes people, move it or loose it.... you can't even get down to the parking garage properly, also winter is coming and the city will need to clear the road....
We can't wait to see this happen
Anonymous post?
Anonymous post? Check.
Misdirected rage? Check.
Spelling mistakes? Check.
All signs point to a troll.
I think you're confusing this board with the Toronto Sun 'comments' section. We don't need vigilantes here, nor do we need crazy anonymous posters making our community look bad.
I think its the people in the
I think its the people in the community making it look bad rather than a few posts on a blog. Too many uptight people who seem to get joy out of seeing negative things happen to others....lovely
I don't appreciate that when
I don't appreciate that when I have family staying over and are parked in the visitors parking space to find a non ligitamate note on theire windsheild saying "Notice of parking infraction, next one will be towed and tagged" . Stop Playing parking enforcement!!!!!!! Learn the rules if you want to try and enforce parking, signs with by-law numbers must be posted!!! Thanks.
As much as I hate to see all
As much as I hate to see all the same cars parked out here at all times, I have to agree with you. By law you have to have the proper signs before you do anything....
Board
I am not part of face book, it is not my thing, can someone please update us as to how things are going? re the board? etc.... Window cleaners have been here but haven't finished the job? Also parking? What is the board doing or going to do about that? Perhaps it would be a good idea if the the board could update this blog for us? Parking is out of hand, and that person is right, it is the same cars abusing the system.... I am not to happy about what has been going on around here. Due to the rentals of alot of these units it has become a party place... The other night on one of the end units people where screaming and yelling outside, drunk and also smoking up! Just about called police, this was 1:15 in the morning..... It's really sad for us who are owners and have families in here
Not sure why you blame these
Not sure why you blame these problems on renters as though those that rent are trouble makers! I know there are owners who also cause problems. One of the units throwing a bottle from an upstairs patio onto my visitors vehicle one night causing damage and almost hitting us in the head. Some people in general just do not have respect, not necessarily people who rent.
Parking
There is no visitor parking, it is all used by people that were to cheap to by a parking space. It has been the same vehicles every day since people moved in. The board of directors will have to take control.
I agree. Here are some cars
I agree. Here are some cars that I see on a regular basis:
White 2 door Inifiniti with no license plate on the front
Black BMW Z4
When people actually have guests over it's impossible to find visitor's parking due to people taking advantage of our currently unmonitored system.
It is not going to be easy to
It is not going to be easy to monitor the visitors parking. There are many people who rent in this complex that were unable to purchase a parking spot and have no choice but to park in visitors as the city of toronto will not allow a person to get a street parking permit if there is a parking garage associated with their address. It is not about being cheap! There are some very rude and disrespectful people living here, one man who used some extremely foul language towards me after my parking in visitors. I understand it is difficult for visitors but I also have visitors and they obtain a parking pass from the city for 20$ to park anywhere in the area or suck it up and deal with the 30$ parking ticket they may get. People need to relax
Rent a spot
If you're a renter without a parking spot, it's your responsibility to rent a spot in the garage from another resident. Your landlord's unit would have come with a parking spot and garage door opener.
We have a Facebook group where you can ask if anyone's renting a spot or ask on here. If every spot in the garage is taken and none are available for rent, you can apply for a city street parking permit.
I don't think it's right for other residents to accost you on the street when parking your car but you're in the wrong for using the visitor parking on a daily basis.
I believe the new Board of Directors will be taking visitor parking very seriously in the near future so you're going to need to find a legitimate parking spot soon.
Absolutely agree and I will
Absolutely agree and I will have to do something for parking, however after being screamed at by a neighbour I obviously do not have the greatest views of the people living in this community. And after reading many of these posts just stengthens that view. So much negativity going on, pointing people out, their vehicles, even putting one persons address online! Not very appropriate, so I am definitely not interested in talking to any of the neighbours in order to find a parking spot. Anyhow, could you please post the link to the facebook page? Thank you
So your going to judge the
So your going to judge the entire community based on a few people. That is very unfortuante and short sighted. I have lived here for over a year and for the most part I have met fantastic people. Yes, there are a few that are not, but that is no different than anywhere else. I agree... some people have gone a bit overboard with some of the things you mentioned but that would be a very small minority. Most likely out of frustration as some people blatantly disregard the parking rules. This will likely change now that the board is set up.
When I needed an additional parking spot I reached out to the community and was able to easily get one to rent. Try it.
Each unit came with a parking
Each unit came with a parking spot (mandatory purchase required). If people are in a unit and they have more than one car (owners/renters), parking in visitor parking is not the solution. These people should be renting spots from other owners who do not have cars. There are many of them here. If people did that, many of the visitor parking issues would be resolved.

Bike Theft
Hi I just moved into the builings and I had previously read a post about bike theft.
I just wanted to post here something that I noticed.
I live at the end units so I can clearly see the trail running along the tracks and the bike racks at that end.
I noticed Monday Septmeber 26th around 10:30 am a group of male highschool gym students running for their class down the path. They were all wearing matching shirts but unfortunatley I could not see the school name. One of the students seperated from the group and came over to the bikes and started shaking them to see if they were unlocked.
I thought this could be useful information. It would be possible to find what highschools are in the area with all boys gym classes at that time.
Hope this can be of help

Turnover Meeting Tonight, Oct 5th @7pm
The Turnover Meeting is tonight at the Party Room at Foundry Lofts @ 1100 Lansdowne. We need as many people as possible to be there in order for the turnover to be successful. Spread the word to your neighbours if you see them today!
Thanks for your insight. I
Thanks for your insight. I can't wait for the turnover meeting. I will continue to monitor the situation and gather as much evidence. Last night, shoes were left this time in my unit's planter. It's ridiculous!
When is the turnover meeting?
When is the turnover meeting?
After all the units have been
After all the units have been registered, the property management will be sending out a notice regarding a turnover meeting to be held at a date to be determined and also requesting that those interested to be nominated for the board must complete the enclosed form and submit to the property management office. It is very important that as many unit owners attend the turnover meeting to ensure that there will be enough unit owners present to vote. Please check the rule on that for the percentage required. I think its about 20% or so but I could be way off on that. If not enough people show up, the turnover meeting will be moved to a new date which is not good. The sooner the corporation which runs the condo is turned over to the owners from the developer, the sooner you will gain control of your condo, especially with issues around the common elements.
garbages at 351 wallace ave.
I have emailed again the property manager about the garbages left outside. I have noticed recently, there are more boxes and garbages left outside the chute. Residents just don't care about their community. This behavior has to stop. It appears that Peter Tanase chose to ignore our concerns. Does anyone know who else should we contact to resolve this issue. I have emailed Peter Tanase a few times with photos attached but I have never heard back from him.
I agree that are certainly
I agree that are certainly those here who do not care about are neighbourhood. But i also think that a big part of the problem is that the garbage shutes are great in theory but are broken or off more than they work. I know they shut them off at night to reduce noise to some of the close by units but it becomes a real pain when someone gets home from work and wants to throw out their garbage but they get to the shute and it's out of order. And although they should walk it do to the garage and throw it in the extra bins it is a pian.
Also, I still see people who don't understand how the chutes work. They put garbage, recycling etc. in either before pushing the button or while the machine is still moving to the appropriate bin. We need to have a different more reliable system. It would be nice if the button would stay lit up to show which mode it is in.
I plan on bringing this up if we ever get a condo meeting. I have sent emails and called both the builder and Taft. Both either don't return my messages or claim it is the other's responsibility.
Just my 2 cents.....
Have Peter Tanase listen?
Have Peter Tanase listen? Gather signatures from owners that they will want to replace the property management company or directly forward these signatures to the top guys at Taft that Peter Tanase is not doing his job effectively. Perhaps this will do the trick. Once the corporation has been turned over to the owners after registration and the board of directors elected, much can be done by the directors to ensure that the property management company works for you all, the owners. And if they still continue ignoring the owners, replace the property management. Good luck.
We were told the notices are
We were told the notices are in the mail and that they should have arrived last Friday. If they were sent, I'd expect they would arrive any day now.

He never answers.

Hahaha I agree, I haven't been able to get a respponse either!!!
After the turnover meeting,
After the turnover meeting, the property management company will work for the unit owners so if they want to keep their contract and renewed for the years to come, they will have to start delivering the services at everybody's satisfaction.
The property management
The property management company should be working for us from day one. This has clearly not been the case. If they really wanted the business they should be demonstrating good service already.
Absolutely. if they were
Absolutely. if they were interested in us, they would be responding to e-mails and dealing with issues all along. I would not tyrust them at this point. They obviously do not care.
Does anyone know who the
Does anyone know who the developer is on this project? I'm trying to get Normac to put extra cabinets in my kitchen but they have never heard of Montevello and without the proper name in their system they won't budge?
Lorbeth Developments
Try Lorbeth Developments, or mention Rob/Tom Falus.
The current management
The current management company needs to be replaced as soon as possible. Does anyone know how we get a board started?
We have e-mailed the builders
We have e-mailed the builders and the management company asking how and when we start a management board. Neither has responded. We also have pictures of the garbage, adn the abandoned car in the corner. We asked that it be towed away and included a picture of the licence plae. We did not get a response to that e-mail either. Yesterday evening when we parked our car there were several spots in the underground garage where water was leaking in. In one spot (we took a picture) water was leaking generously through an electrical outlet. Yes, an electricial outlet. Now I don't know about anyone else but it is obvious to us that water and electricity are not a good combination. We e-mailed a picture of this. No response. We residents have been abandoned. Someone is taking our money and using it for - what? It's a mystery. What are we going to do?
garbage
On a daily basis, you'll find garbages sitting outside garbage chute particularly near stairwell A. I almost tripped a few times when it was left just outside the door entrance to the parking. It's very frustrating and annoying. I don't understand why people can't follow simple instructions. Cigarrete butts, litters and even mcdonald's cup left on my unit's planter. I remember seeing a large lcd tv, dumped just outside at one point. Some items that I have seen many times were pizza boxes,paper bag from mcdonald's. I bet they are from the same people.
I alreaDY emailed property management to remind them of this occurence but they have not replied to my email. I agree, property management has to do a better job about this. And besides, we are paying them.
I think one of the first
I think one of the first things the board needs to look at (when in place) is replacing the current property management company.
come to think of it, when do
come to think of it, when do we elect the new board chairs ?
Once the units are all
Once the units are all registered, the current property management will send out a notice regarding the turnover meeting to elect the new board of directors. Unit owners who are interested to become directors will have to submit their names. Note that if there are not enough people showing up at the meeting to meet the quorum, the meeting will have to be rescheduled. The sooner the new board of directors are put in place, the sooner the Corporation will be able to tackle all the issues.
Comparisons
We have been registered for 2 months now. Taft-Forward is supposed to contact us about a turnover meeting.
Brownstones on Davenport registered in early May and Taft contacted them a couples weeks after that about a turnover meeting for late June. It ended up being delayed for them because not enough people showed up. I would hope that they have set up a board by now.
I think Taft is either dragging their heels on getting a board started at BOW as they know we will likely replace them with another property management company or they are busy with the Davenport site.
Davenport site already
Davenport site already elected their board of directors.
The sooner the property
The sooner the property management is working for the Corporation, the sooner the property management will have to work for the owners to ensure that they will not be replaced.

PARKING SPOT FOR RENT
Hello Neighbors
I have a parking spot available immediately for rent. Please contact me by call/text me at (416) 399-2489 or email me. I would expect a turnover meeting and a Board of Directors in place soon at which point the Visitor Parking will be enforced by the Board. There are only limited number of underground spots.
Let me know,
Thanks

How much you looking for?

Hi, I to expect a board done,
Hi, I to expect a board done, and ASAP , plus we will have to get rid of Taft mngt , since they r useless.... The garbage issue is awful, bugs , flies, and he doesn't listen to our concerns. Visited parking is awful here, abused, this will have to stop. To many renters here who r abusing this place. Loud parties, people drunk swearing in the early hours of the morning , people shooting off fireworks off the roof top of the units!!!! This wi all have to stop ! And will not b tolerated by owners here! People puking in the grates, along with people parking in the underground when they clearly don't have a spot! We will have to get together and have them towed . Also people allowing their dogs to pee & poop on the property, very wrong , the Parker as well ! Come on, have some sense people, kids play there!!!
I agree. This is supposed to
I agree. This is supposed to be a condominium community where our investment is protected. Any other condos. I have visited have had noise by-laws, trash by-laws, and parking by-laws enforced. We had company from out of ton and they commented on the garbage smells, both inside and out, the garbage by the chutes, the lack of air conditionin in the condo. (no matter what the thermostat says it is always humid in here) and the abandoned car at the end of the units. One unit has tenants with the word "f...ck" on the posters facing outside. These same people have overflowing ashtrays and were peeing in the common area last time they had a party. This has been brought to the attention of Taft who have done nothing. I am appalled at the lack of service we have received regarding our concerns.
We agree
We agree. It is exactly these issues that the neighbourhood was afraid of before we came. It is why people fight development - they are afraid it will detract from the neighbourhood. We should not be dumping garbage everywhere. Whoever is dumping garbage and discarded items at the chutes and in the garbage pick-up area, please stop. We do not want to look at your old couch, etc.

Hey R - we are move to 371 Wallace and will own a spot but have no car. Would you be interested in renting a spot next door?
Parking
Parking spots at condos/condo towns are usually only available for rent to other residents in the same building. I'm not sure that you would be allowed to rent to someone from outside your own condo building. You can double check that with your Property Management company. There are issues with security because of the remote control for the gate/garage door.
Interesting - I've never
Interesting - I've never heard of this before. I work downtown and many of my coworkers rent spots from condo owners around our office building. Nonetheless, I will make sure to check before renting the spot that I own.

DayCare Suggestions
Hi all, new to the area and need suggestions for a daycare close by for November. Where do your kids go?
Bell Satellite
Do the buildings allow Bell Satelitte hook up?
Thank you
Because the complex is a
Because the complex is a condo corporation, the individual owners do not own the balconies, the exterior walls, the windows, the doors, the common areas, etc. So, the homeowners are not allowed to attach anything permanent to a common element. The railings and the balconies are considered a common element with exclusive use privileges to the individual home owners. You can double check all of this with the Condo Corp and the Property Management company, but satellite dishes are probably not allowed.
No, I'm pretty sure that's
No, I'm pretty sure that's against the rules set in the place by the builder.
Dish
Can't do it, i called and asked if i could install shaw and they said no. I think the buildings are wired for bell though
Possible attempted bike theft?
I think a woman may have been trying to steal a bike last night. A little after midnight I heard a bit of noise outside and wasn't sure what it was so I got up and looked. At first I didn't see anything and then saw a woman sitting on the ground doing something with a bike that was locked to one of the bike racks. I opened my window to ask her if it was her bike and I think she saw me so got up and walked away. She had a small flashlight with her and a backpack on. I was half asleep so didn't really know what to make of it at the time. But today thinking about it I think she was trying to get the lock off, and I doubt it was her bike since it was after midnight, she had a flashlight in a well light area and she walked away when she was seen.
Did anyone else see anything? I think we need to keep and eye out for things like this.
air conditioner
We have the same problem with ours. Our unit goes to 22 but won't go below. Normally 22 would feel pretty cool but our place doesn't which makes me think the thermostat does not work properly. I was thinking that maybe we should try contacting the air conditioning manufacturer to see what they say....
Important Bycicle Users..
Hi Guys.. I've seen a lot of you struggling to open the Garage door located at the South side and at the same time pulling your bycicle out..
You can instead stand in front of the Automatic door and pass your foot in front of the Yellow box (at the lower right side of the door), and the door will open..and you can ride your bycicle out..
hope this helps.. Cheers.. M.S.
A super duper tip! Thank you
A super duper tip! Thank you !
Air Conditioners
for the upper units the air conditioners are not cooling our place down, the blower runs non stop , it wont go down between 23-24 degrees??? They have come in several times , trying to fix the issue, but can't seem to get it right, I feel the units are to small for the upper levels, even put in 20 amp fuses since the 15 amp were always popping.... It's never cool in our place, can't imagine what is going to happen when it is 30-40 degrees out?
Anyone else having problems?
We are having the same issue
We are having the same issue as you. Do you know the temperature of the air coming out of your vents?
*
The air coming out of the vents is cold ...... between 5 - 7 Degrees C (42 - 46 Degrees F) but are having trouble getting the temperature in the unit below 25 Degrees C. If we set the thermostate to anything below 26 Degrees C the AC and furnace blower run for long periods of time.
*
Have they finished coming around to try their fixes yet?
A/C units
Hi, i am from Brownstones on Davenport and had same issue - A/C not working properly. They came 3 times already to fix it. The last guy who came said i have to turn off and on my breaker whenever it happens. So i tried this yesterday and it worked, cold air started blowing again.

well that is not a fix, the blower runs non stop , it is loud and doesn't shut off..... so it runs around the clock , and never goes below 23 degrees c ....... Can not cool it down, first it shouldn't be running all the time? It's terrible, and Claudia said they would send the techs around, we have had the same guy 3 times, nothing? goes around with a temp gage and checks the air temp??? It is either not hooked up right, or the units are garbage? I can only imagine what the hydro bill is going to be like?
Garbage Shute noise
Is there anything that we can do about the noise of the garbage shute? For those of us that live close to it the constant banging of it is quite annoying during the day and downright startling during the night or early morning. With the windows now open it is especially noticeable and we've been woken up numerous times late at night or very very early in the morning to the banging of the flap and pouring of items into the shute.
Perhaps we could set appropriate hours for use and/or find a way to silence the banging??
I don't think much can be
I don't think much can be done other than posting a notice that says "Please do not dispose of garbage after 9pm."
In the condo I used live in, we had those notices on each floor's garbage chute room.
Good question. Try contacting
Good question. Try contacting the property managment company or bringing it up with the board of directors when they are set up.
chute suppression suggestion
Hi
Given the non-efficiency , disturbance of those chutes, and the potentially high cost of "fixing " almost weekly those chutes, would it be easier to just suppress that stupid service, and have clean organized big bins in the garage?
cheaper, easier , relable and simple
just a thought........maybe for our 1st condo meeting?
