Hi could anyone living in the building share if the problems with the heater management and security are still there I am thinking of buying a unit in this building but if a tenant cannot regulate the temperature and it gets too hot I will reconsider it Thank you

I currently a rent a unit in this building and although the building is in a FANTASTIC location I would not recommend ever buying a unit in this building First of all our unit is an absolutely SAUNA for more than half the year and it's the winter months that are the worst Even with the windows open on a 30 day outside your unit will be 30 degrees inside You lay there in your bed at 2 am in January and you can't even have a bed sheet TOUCH you or you overheat I can't figure it out for the life of me but in hearing peoples complaints to management all the time and reading this board it's not uncommon Also although some people were pretty harsh about the security people it's true It's almost like they have been told to be as unfriendly as humanly possible If you ask them to do ANYTHING like asking for a parking pass they snarl at you and make it very uncomfortable Also the parking situation is pathetic and the system of a yellow stamped hand written pass is absolutely ridiculous and takes a guest 20 min to get out of the parking lot Take it from me for the housing prices in Toronto there are MANY other places you should look before considering this building

Areas for improvement 1 Parking Although you own a parking spot you do not really "own†it instead you own the key fob and if you rent that out you cannot occupy your parking space when it is available like the weekends or weeknights for guests that come to visit you instead you have to burn though your 4 monthly guest passes This parking problem is not the condo's fault but rather the parking lot owners who have an antiquated system to keep track of their parking it is up to the people of 92 King to put pressure on the cash cow parking lot owners to have them change their system so we can access our unoccupied parking space easier The condo can make it easier by issuing a pass to access your spot without burning your guest passes since you are not going to use the guest lot but communicating this to people is impossible leading to the next issue 2 Customer Service I do not want a relationship with the security or property management in the building but they have to provide service There is a large language barrier with the security desk and there is a slighter language barrier with the property manager The night time weekday guard is extremely bad poor body language in choosing to ignore you until you are actually just about to speak to them It is like they are def and blind not anticipating that you are walking toward them and just about to talk to them The secuirty company needs notification of this guard SERVICE nothing more or less

What is middle of the road about this building is the Heating ventilation and AC and the repairs The units have no ventilation but I am fining it a good thing I remember the last time I was in this situation there was less dust and it appears to be the case here There is a furnace in each unit that is powered by gas it has a fan to blow air out vents but this type of old gas powered technology requires a pilot for heating and cooling and the two cannot occur simultaneously so the condo has an AC and heating season also there is a slight cool heat leakage but it is slight With this situation it is best to grab a hot cold fan for the surprise string of hot cold days in the Toronto's falls springs Other than that there are no problems at all living with this old HVAC technology it probably saves all the residents money less maintenance fee Speaking of which the fees here are middle of the pack not the best but not the worst there was only a 2 increase this year but the last reserve fund study recommended 10 increase for five years and back to 2 7 increase thereafter It appears like they did not follow that plan this year and maybe last so who knows if they ever will It doesn't seem to make sense why they would increase it 10 year and not ever decrease it or stabilize it after the five years The elevators are said to be replaced a new gym exercise room coming and hallways carpets damaged from the flood but things are SLOW Continue to Part 3

I lived in 3 places in Toronto for past 6 years and scouted every possible location where you can satisfy being 5 minutes away from the central business district 5 minutes from groceries be completely TTC free and have some decent size living area This was the only building that satisfied these conditions The units in this building are quite large are there are quite a few families in here with a baby or two that is quite unseen in a downtown condos because of their size The security of this building is good it is well lit at night and there is no graffiti anywhere or sketchy people hanging around the building We share a common walkway with adjacent building that has night patrol guard and quite a few cameras because there is a bank there so we have some extra security along one side The grounds are inviting safe and secure The rooftop "garden" is awesome and extremely spacious BBQ is great I'm not too picky of the color of the fading wooden deck or the type plants flowers there but the "garden" or patio is clean the chairs table tops have no residue or dust and it is very sunny Another good thing about the building is the sound barrier I do not hear anything at all except through the front door other than that I do a whole bunch of loud stuff in my condo music tv etc to all hours of the night no complaints so long as it is not a constriction noise those garner complaints pretty much instantly Continue to Part 2

Management are below par and it's hard to get a straight answer in regards to anything It's currently 24 C outside and the AC has not been turned on yet there is no ventilation and trying to sleep is difficult to say the least Add the heat from your stove and you have created yourself a nice sauna The building turns on the AC too late and turns it off too soon around Sep Oct the garden should be open for longer periods I have friends that live 2 blocks away and their rooftop garden is open all year round After I asked the building manager when it would be open she didnt even give me a straight answer she has obviously been doing that for a while from other tenants I have spoken too The security guards are generally nice apart from one he stares at you while you look for your fob whilst juggling half a dozen bags from metro and wouldn't even press his little button to let you in and btw he definitely knows I live here There are no amenities in this building or common areas apart from the garden so be prepared to be prisoner in your own hot home The flood of last year is still a pain the construction still goes on and dust still floats in under my door about 12 months now I would urge anybody who is thinking of renting or buying in this building to take a second look and reconsider There are most definitely better buildings within a few blocks that are better equipped and managed better than this disaster of a place CAVEAT EMPTOR
