"AVOID MOVING HERE"

DO NOT rent an apartment in this building. The management shuts the water off every two weeks to fix leaks, and they are constantly renovating meaning there is not a day that goes by where there is not excessive noise/something that is not functional (elevator etc.)

We are working very hard on upgrading this property. yes we do have to shut the water down once a month because it was built in 1971 with out shutoffs for each suite. This is necessary when we are installing brand new bathtubs and showers. If you are going to write a bad review you should add you name. Bob

"Noisy neighbours and Apt
not in good condition."

Dont rent this building, it is in bad condition and our friends had the same problem with bedbugs and silverfish. The neighbours are very rude, inconsiderate and noisy in the middle of the night and they play loud music, talk loud on the balcony at midnight and some tenants have their dogs barking on and off in the middle of the night disturbing other tenants and the whole neighbourhood. The management is very rude and they rent the apt to people from all walks of life. The neighbours are especially nightmares in this bldg. If you need to have peaceful sleeping at night time, then we suggest please dont rent this bldg.

"Terribly Managed, Dirty,
Unsafe Aparment "

This building is one to stay away from! It is very dirty and rundown. The building has problems with bedbugs, silverfish and the occasional cockroach. The management is incredibly rude and unaccomodating and make it very difficult to have basic needs met (needs very clearly stipulated by BC tennancy act are to be met by the Building). The building has multiple break ins. The building is constantly being fixed for one thing or another but repairs take months. In my stay alone the water was cut off over 10 times by the building. The problems are extensive. Stay very far away!

"Avoid this building!"

We've been here for 3 months so far and wish we could escape. There are silver fish (harmless but nasty) that we discovered after moving in. They did get a pest guy in but they're slowly coming back.. The silverfish are probably due to the leaky pipes. We've just had to wake up to a puddle (under our carpet) in the hallway that wasn't there when we went to bed! We've also had ridiculous complaints from neighbors (which the building seems to encourage) and the rude staff just don't help. Overall, this is one to avoid! It's quite sad since we moved in looking for a place to stay for years..

Try Epsom Salt around (dry) edges. It worked for me in a building I lived years ago.

We've moved out since we found mold. We know that they're not going to fix it, even though they should! Please EVERYONE avoid this building. No one who lives there is happy with the conditions.

ZGOMETEL on November 20 2014:
