"The SEVENS on Royal Oak"

As a Strata council member, I would like to address some of the concerns brought up in the reviews above. First of all, the comments are from 2013. This was the infancy stage for the Strata Council. A weak Property Manager was hired and little was done in terms of administration of the bylaws. There were many concerns raised to the management company, most of them were not acted upon. I guess you get what you pay for. Actually, we got even less! The council was very frustrated and the 2014 AGM was suspended. The outcome was that council resolved to hire a better Property Manager. In August of 2014, ReMax Property Management was hired. Steps were taken to ensure bylaw compliance. General Access to the Party Room was discontinued. If a resident wants to use the Party Room, they have to sign a rental agreement and also provide a user fee of $100. Council checks the room before and after use for damage. Cleaning and Maintenance contracts were reviewed and closely monitored. The budgets were increased marginally to ensure that there was enough funding to achieve all the goals. The total contingency fund for this building is almost a whopping $75,000! The Owners of BCS4356 DO have pride in ownership and they have all stepped up their participation to ensure that the buildings livability is not compromised.

Comment on this Review: unregistered user on January 27 2013: Agreed, if you can spend 300K and up on a place, don't get anything here. None of that's reflected in the quality of anything. Mickey mouse floors, appliances and paint. The wall aren't even straight up and down, they bend in random places. It has all the makings of a future ghetto. Be prepared to throw out lots of your furniture too because you can't store anything except BIKES in open storage. $100 plus for hydro too, since you have a hot water heater in your unit taking up valuable storage space. unregistered user on April 18 2013: agree 100% this place is a joke. Cheapest finishing job I have ever seen unregistered user on May 19 2013: Windows too close to each other. Lots of noise. You can here people talking in their unit. You can't leave your bedroom's window open and sleep because of the noise. Lots of parties! unregistered user on May 24 2013: Avoid. First of all cheap material are used in construction. Crappy laminate floors. Secondly, the windows are placed too close. You can hear lots of noise from other units. Inconsiderate neoghbours too playing music at nights and partying all the time. unregistered user on July 17 2013: This building is a JOKE. If you look around you will get better value for your money. The construction job of this development is terrible. Cheap materials combined with an incompetent construction crew. unregistered user on September 8 2013: The shared ' party room ' is a cesspool of screaming children and their inconsiderately loud adult minders that can't control the volume of their jovial greetings and general conversations to others. Sounds like a swimming pool on the first floor by the party room. I feel genuinely sorry for the units near the party room they have to endure this. Days go by and no one vacuums the hallways. People have resorted to leaving their car seats and cleaning mops on their parking spaces, because there is no proper storage AT ALL. The new strata gave a notice about this that it is a fire hazard and breaks the fire regulations, but hasn't done anything about the junk piling up since the first notice a year ago. The developers son or relative person has a private parkade within the main parkade, with its own gate . The red emergency button on the building fob opens this gate. It just serves to reinforce that all residents are losers and there is one priviglared person who gets a private parking area. unregistered user on June 7 2015: I just visited a unit there last week and was actually very impressed with the quality. The common areas are very clean and the amenities are in very good shape. I wonder if things have changed or if these previous reviews were people trying to attack this building? unregistered user on October 17 2015: still no change in building with new relapse or remax whatever you want to call it as I read the reviews, it still stinks in the hallways, no storage for anything,building quality worksmanship as you can see in the walls in the hallway,favoritism for certain people that own a bunch of the units to rent out.The good thing is if you like to laugh this place is a joke Write a comment about this review Enter image text:
