27 Lanark Road

Within the first few months of living here, we experienced around 4-5 different ceiling water leaks. Our carbon monoxide detector was expired since before we moved in and it took them around 2-3 months (of us constantly messaging them) to get them to replace it. Half of the laundry machines are broken, the other half leave your clothes wet. Main maintenance people have walked in on others without announcing. I’ve heard them reach for their keys as they try to open our door, even though I always specify in my maintenance requests to not enter if I’m not there. Like are there worse places to live in? Yeah, technically. But this place still sucks.

You can tell the building is aging, and maintence of each individual unit varies. Things like chipped paint, large screw holes, and exposed outlets were overlooked. Common areas seem to be cleaned at least weekly. Also laundry is SUPER inconsistent so be prepared for that. There are 3 washers and dryers but they often are out of order, or eat your quarters. Maintenance requests for stuff like this doesn’t get completed, and I’ve had the property management retaliate. Otherwise, it’s overall a safe, quiet place to live. It’s just not managed with respect. Far enough away from busy main roads but still walking distance to the T.
