 Frequently Asked Questions

How ... ?

Q

How do I go about changing the lock to my suite door?

   
A

All the suite door keys are on one master key. The master key system allows the corporation to gain entry in case of an emergency or for necessary pre-announced repairs.

Residents are not permitted to change the suite door lock without authorization from the Property Management Office.

The Property Manager will provide the contact information for a recommended locksmith.

Safety chain/double locks, etc. may not be attached to suite entry doors without consent from the Board of Directors.

   

Q

 How do I report a safety or rules violation incident?

 

 

A

Call your building Concierge and describe your concern, immediately. Preferably, use the Concierge Stations in the various parts of the Recreation Centre and Garage.

Waiting until the next day, makes it much more difficult to take corrective action.

 

   

Q

How do I arrange for a real estate agent to have access to my suite when I am away?

   
A

By prior-arrangement with the Concierge, you may authorize designated real estate agent(s) to leave a lock box in the stairwell at your floor in which the agent(s) will store a key that you provide to them directly.  The Concierge will not hold any keys. This arrangement is between you and real estate agent.  The Concierge will let your designated real estate agent(s) into the building, but is not permitted to open suite doors by verbal request of anyone, including the owner or resident.

   
Q

How do I arrange for disposal of a large garbage item, such as a sofa?

   
A

The City will pick up large items (such as a sofa) on scheduled days, but only if alerted to do so before hand (the previous Friday) and only for a specific list of items.

Please call the Management Office (416 239-9786), before Friday noon so that the City can be alerted to the need for a Tuesday pickup and provided with a description of the item. IF THE ITEM IS NOT ON THE PRE-ARRANGED LIST, THE CITY WILL NOT TAKE IT.

Bring the item down to the area designated by management on the designated day, and NOT before. There is no space in this building for multi-day storage of items, without interfering with building operations or other Resident traffic.

To minimize items that must be disposed of this way, make every effort to arrange with the vendor or delivery company to take the old item away as part of the sales agreement, or make an arrangement with the delivery person to do so.

NOTE: The City requires different arrangements for what they call "white goods", like appliances. See white goods for that information.

   
Q

How do I arrange for disposal of appliances and other large items that the City calls "white goods"?

   
A

The City will pick up "white goods" items on a pre-arranged basis only, but the schedule varies.

Please call the Management Office (416 239-9786), so that the next available pickup date by the City can be determined and relayed to you.

Bring the item down to the area designated by management on the evening before the agreed pickup date, and NOT before. There is no space in this building for multi-day storage of items, without interfering with building operations or other Resident traffic.

To minimize items that must be disposed of this way, make every effort to arrange with the vendor or delivery company to take the old item away as part of the sales agreement, or make an arrangement with the delivery person to do so.

   
Q

How do I know if the fire detector(s) in my suite are working?

   
A

Residents should check their in-suite detector(s) on a monthly basis. Simply, depress the test button on the smoke or heat detector until it sounds. Should it not sound within a second or two, notify the Property Management Office immediately.

On an annual basis, the corporation arranges for the detectors in every suite to be tested.

On a monthly basis, the corporation arranges for inspection of the building alarm system as per the requirements of the Ontario Fire Code.
