Moved into the building in 2018 and for the past 34 years there has been almost constant noise during the day due to demolition and construction Minto tries to make up for this by sending out notices but it isn't enough The superintendent is friendly and helpful but he can only do so much as he lacks materials or funding from Minto In terms of renovations they are superficial with no new windows or doors which desperately need replacing instead they use their money on curb appeal like updating gardenslawns lobbies that don't need updating entries etc without telling potential tenants about the issues inside There are numerous other problems such as water being shut off often due to leaky pipes poor Bell service quality since theres no fiber available unreliable laundry machines that take your money yet don't do their job and mold growing back in walls because of leaking pipes that have not been fixed properly however they seem to be able handle cockroach and bedbug issues fairly well by containing them through pest control Despite all this effort though it is not enough to change this review if you contact the property manager about any of these critical issues you wont receive help as he does not show interest in addressing them more ... hide ...

I recently signed a lease with LIV and Sydney was our leasing agent It was an incredible experience Having moved around a lot for university I have had many experiences with leasing apartments and this one was the best yet Sydney made sure I felt supported at all times by answering my questions helping me view my unit virtually while Im living 5 hours away from Ottawa filling out paperwork and arranging my desired parking situation She remained patient while I took some time to get her the necessary documents due to being on vacation Her responsiveness never left me feeling anxious or nervous about the process My only reason for 45 stars is that I havent moved in yet so this review reflects signing the lease and coordinating with Sydney but once I move in Ill update it to reflect a fuller experience with LIV Thank you so much Sydney more ... hide ...

Due to an issue with cockroaches when I moved out I had to get rid of most of my belongings Spot treatments are done in the apartments where they have been seen and also in the adjacent apartments but they refuse to spray the entire building as it is too costly It was so bad that while packing up to leave a roach crawled out of some laundry I was about to wash Over three years there were only four treatments carried out yet still cockroaches were all over everywhere especially in the basement Oh and by the way if any tenant writes a positive review on them they enter their name into a draw for a free months rent so many of these glowing reviews could be from that offer more ... hide ...

This is not a place to rent from My packages are consistently stolen from both my door and the lobby Roaches and bugs have been an issue despite me multiple times having to empty out all of my cabinets and cupboards for treatments which have proved ineffective Ive had five treatments but still theres just as many roaches in my kitchen bathroom and bedroom during winter when they turn up the heat Its not just one unit its a problem with the entire building since other tenants have made similar complaints The management team doesnt answer emails or phones their voice mail is full they havent provided in person service since Covid started used Covid as an excuse to keep their outdoor pool closed Out of two elevators one works half of the time so all 11 floors must wait up to 10 minutes for it to get there The buzzer in the lobby needs resetting every few months so everyone has to reregister individually Parking is chaotic because they cant track who parks where and for how long In six months Ive had water shut down five times leaving us without water for up to eight hours Although I will be moving out soon due to hygiene issues costumer service issues and safeguarding worries my apartment itself is quiet with plenty of natural sunlight with no outlet problems more ... hide ...

I used to live at Coronation Estates where the landlord Dino was incredibly understanding and accommodating The only issue is that requests for repairs take a while to be completed Even if you ask the superintendent multiple times it wont speed up the process The buildings are clean and wellmaintained and pet friendly Although soundproofing isn't the best so when people are in the hallways you can hear whatever theyre doing in your apartment All in all this is a great place to live its landscaped beautifully and I would love to live there again more ... hide ...

My friend and I moved into our apartment just over a year ago and we were delighted to have access to a gym and pool However we were soon notified of construction going on the other side of us without any knowledge of what it entailed In May 2021 the building wasnt even finished yet but we received a timesensitive notice in November that renovations would begin for us in March 2022 To our surprise another notice was posted on our door on Friday saying that our balcony had to be cleared by Monday both of us work in healthcare with shift work so this created an issue Our landlordadmin refused to provide either a free or discounted storage unit which is why we havent had access to our balcony yet Furthermore the construction workers havent even completed their task but are now shifting their attention towards other buildings We have been instructed not open any windows or use AC units as they wont replace anything damaged by the construction therefore theres still dust everywhere and fuel smell all around The washersdryers here are abysmal too weve made several orders for them to be cleaned or fixed as drying clothes costs twice as much money here now All in all this place has been nothing but trouble during these twelve months with no set hours for amenities such as pools they make up their own more ... hide ...

I have been living at 230 Brittany Drive since April 2020 and the experience has been nothing short of amazing From the very first day the staff and management have been professional and attentive to any issues that arise in the complex Despite the challenges that COVID19 has brought on everyone Osgoode Properties site management continues to provide quality service to their tenants by keeping them informed of updates within their building To emphasize their dedication to tenants I recently lost my keys which had entry into my apartment car and mailbox on it remarkably enough a tenant found them in the parking lot and returned them to David Hughes Property Manager Even though I was out of town for business at this time he tracked down my vehicle using its FOB key so that everything remained secure This kind gesture is a true testament of his teams commitment and professionalism Thank you all for your hard work more ... hide ...

The apartment has two listings on Google which is odd so heres a brief summary of my previous review The office and maintenance staff are generally polite articulate and friendly however the office hours are short and afterhours support can be difficult to access Before the pandemic requests would be handled in 1014 business days but could take up to a month for completion Currently only emergency requests are being taken care of due to valid reasons The building is often under repair which can be both good or bad amenities that were installed previously must remain closed but rent has not changed except for legally allowed increases The ceilings and floors are quite porous meaning noise is often heard from neighbours such as music or footsteps Most apartments have 4 electrical fuses at maximum so it may be necessary to use the stove for higher amperage appliances like kettles in order to avoid blowing a fuse Appliances installed in the building are older but dependable flooring is clean and usable while balconies usually need painting work done on them but still provide plenty of space Bathrooms may be small yet still useful with low water pressure but hot water is plentiful pipes tend to run brownyellow after repairs even for hours afterward Heating during winter can get too intense since tenants cannot control thermostat depending on outside temperature changes furthermore tech infrastructure offers cableDSL with competitive speeds while fibre was physically installed yet no companies offer it as an option currently living there more ... hide ...
