"'Not My Problem'
Mentality "

This building is suitable for those who have absolutely no understanding on what owning your own place means. There's a 'gang' mentality there and if you're not in that group then nothing you say or do will change things (in fact you instead become the target for gossip, stories and even flat out lies). There are only 74 owners in the building and yet one person has nearly 25 to 30 proxy votes - guess what? you're out voted EVERYTIME and the best part is these proxy voters don't even know what is going on because they just don't care and afterall if it's not your problem (as in you don't have to pay for it in any way, shape or form) then why worry? There's much more to this story but I believe I've done my bit here. Not all the people are ignorant there are a few good folks there, but when it comes down to it, the majority wins and unfortunately the majority here are very ignorant, careless, irresponsible and gullible. If I had known what I know now, I would have steered clear of this place and saved myself from a decade of debt. Don't believe me? Check the mls.ca and you'll see there is a strange range of prices...

Comment on this Review: unregistered user on February 27 2012: I was waiting for someone to write this up- absolutely true! Until I sold in 2010, ONE person made a point of telling new canadians/new owners that they didn't have to worry about spending money on upkeep, he got their proxies, and yup, ran the council, so that only himself and two others could be elected to council, therefore rendering any decision making useless. I hope that one person eventually goes, so that Belmont Park can go back to being a great condo building. unregistered user on March 15 2013: I'm a former owner at 8540 Citation Dr, and I did experience this person's ability to persuade new canadians of this, and of course, nothing got done. However, since then, the person in question apparently has passed away, there is new council in force and things are getting done. Finally. New Canadians need to be educated about the rights and responsibilities that come with owning in a condominium complex. unregistered user on March 19 2016: Very helpful. Good to know things get done! unregistered user on March 24 2016: I feel that the current council is responsible in working hard with the property management company, trying to help all owners improve the overall situation. As every owner living in this building, they should take their own responsibilities and duties to help maintain a good living place. Write a comment about this review Enter image text:
