"Living in a condominium without the extra fees for amenities, services, or conveniences has its pros and cons. Although renovations have taken place, there are still many issues with the old building. We had 4 leaks in our apartment during the 2 years before we moved out. Advantages include being located close to shops and on a subway line with newly renovated hallways, an entranceway and laundry room. Parking is available but limited in space. Pest control seemed to be effective as I hadn't seen any cockroaches in 6 months prior to moving out. The apartments are spacious with thick walls that reduce noise from neighbours; however, controlling or turning on/off heating is not possible so when temperatures hit a record high of 31 degrees Celsius we had to buy fans for the windows just to get some air circulating! There is no air conditioning installed either, which must be professionally inspected annually at tenant expense. Constant construction and water shut offs create dust while garbage area usually appears messy; furthermore, elevators run slowly and break down frequently."
