2 of my friends lived there. There are roaches and mice. Humidity and heat issues. Some say the higher floors are better, they aren't. Repairs are botched and cheap. They will do the bare minimum. No control on heating. Cracks and holes everywhere inside apartments and also in the corridors on every floor, water leaks in the ceiling, and they don't bother fixing the bubbling, cracked paint. Broken, moldy kitchen cabinets, the bath faucet is made of plastic, baths are painted, shower walls peeling off. Roaches coming from the power outlets and under the floors. They use white caulking and tape to repair stuff and don't even bother applying it neatly. Don't be fooled by the nice renovated entrance! The building only has dusty air vents, no fans in the kitchens & bathrooms. Some maintenance employees aren't 100% fluent in English and French, which causes some misunderstandings. The building manager appears nice and chatty at first, but her attitude changes if you start complaining or needing help often. The good part? 1 cat or dog is allowed. The view is really nice. There are elevators and an intercom system with a key fob. There is a huge park right in front of the building (including a dog park). There are a few restaurants, a dry cleaner and a driving school on the ground level, a convenience store and Pizza Pizza restaurant right across the street.
