CAPREIT on 11/01/2012

I am sorry about any past pest issues anyone has had. I can only address the issues since we have taken over the buildings, but I can promise we are doing our best to address any concerns anyone has.
This is a letter that we have sent out to Tenants recently about the work we have been doing:

Dear Residents,
As you may have noticed, the CAPREIT team has been working diligently to address any pest issues encountered since taking over management of Harbour View. Our process has included hirin

Hi there. I don't want the previous posts to care anyone. I just moved into the 14th floor and have had NO issues. Management is new the building is now owned by a huge company CapREIT and they are putting millions of dollars into the buildings. Before moving in I had requested to have all the carpet replaced with plank flooring, it was done. The entire apartment was renovated and once I moved in, I had a few other minor requests (recaulking, shower and outlet repairs) and the maintenance crew w

Lived there for two years and had no problems (apart from the odd mouse), then suddenly in spring 2011 both myself and my girlfriend started to get bites, we had to endure 6 months of this and even compeltely section off one bedroom of our two bedroom apt before we finally could afford to move. When we left we had to dump 2 couches, all bed clothes and an expensive mattress and base. The maintenace people did the best they could to help us but its an epidemic there. We are glad to be rid of the

I moved out last month and lived there for a year on the 5th floor. i did not have a bed bug issue but other people in all 3 buildings have had issues. We did have coachraoches everywhere! and no matter how many times they sprayed they kept coming. They also suck at maintence , we've had a hole in the bathroom from mold that I even fixed myself because as much as we would complain to them and try to get them to fix it they never came.. Don't live here! it sucks

OCEAN TOWERS BED BUG AND COCKROACH INFESTED!!!!! on 06/29/2012

To the people below who commented saying this place is a nice place to live and you havent had any issues, you are 100% in denial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These places are absolutely disgusting and yes there issues in other building the only difference is is they take action. And trust me I've done my research as I fought with Transglobe in tenancy court after leaving after seven months and three of those months trying to get help from the staff there and no one did a thing!!

Anyone who says this

Me and my wife moved into 2309 Brunswick in January 2011. We asked about bedbug issues, and they said that they were aware of problems in the past, but that there have been no active cases for quite some time.

Stupidly, we moved in anyways. After our third month, we started to get bites. We were in denial for a few weeks (as we couldnt find any of the typical signs of bedbugs) but soon we found our first live bug.

The building reps are very good at having spraying done, and we had mul

Ocean towers is INFESTED with PESTILENCE and VERMIN!! If you sleep there you will wake up with DOZENS of ITCHY, PAINFUL, DISGUSTING BITES ALLLLLLL over your body. People who say Ocean Towers is a nice, clean place to live are in OBVIOUS DENIAL! You will lose your furniture and anything that can't be washed in an INDUSTRIAL HEAT producing washer machine. Ocean Towers is the TRIFECTA of filthiness and just some of the pests include BEDBUGS, COCKROACHES, AND RODENTS. Even up on the 16TH floor they

I am a current tenant of ocean towers and have been for over 3 years. Never have I had an issue with bugs or seen one. I would advise people who are concerned about bugs to contact other potential rental places as they are a problem in every building. They are in the movie theaters and in the pubs downtown... I've spoke to some bartenders and they said they've had issues with the pests for years. ocean towers is a great place to live, the supers are great, they are very helpful. highly recommend

I moved into Ocean Towers almost a year ago and I have had no issues with bed bugs. I moved into the building having heard that they did have an issue with them in the past (WHO HASN'T) but they assured me they are very aggressive in terms of pest control. I Love the view and I love the building. Im very happy I didn't let what I read online deter me. Looking forward to another year here

I found a bedbug about a month ago, after waking up to 10's of bites every morning and not knowing what the hell was going on. I immediately called my super and she handed me a sheet that says the building is having a problem with bedbugs. My apartment has been sprayed twice, I vacuum every inch of this apartment daily, and I still wake up with bites. I'm so sick of this place.

My son (in the Navy) moved into Apt. 1401 at 2309 Brunswick St and after signing the lease got the gift. Bedbugs. They sprayed. They go. They come back. I'm visitng in July - one bite and look out.

We HATE transglobe on 04/28/2009

I had signed the lease before moving in, and took a large financial hit when I moved out. Ths first night, it was fine. The second night, I was eaten alive. The third night, I slept out on a sidewalk somewhere, with a sleeping bag. Torturous!

But I found this campaign:

and I feel better about my life (they are collecting stories about people screwed over by Transglobe so they can shape a campaign against the company directly, hopefully warn more people agains

I moved into Ocean Towers on Gerrish ST, off of Brunswick Street, and the first night there were cock roaches EVERYWHERE, mostly in the Kitchen! After 2 weeks of being there, we realized there were bed bugs too! We complained everyday and it took 3 weeks to finally get the place sprayed which did NOTHING! Thank god I never signed the LEase and left after a month of living in hell!
No human should have to live in those conditions and it is discusting how the people who work there

I discovered these nasty critters this week. Discovering the actual bugs explains the rash my wife has had for over a month now. Bed bugs have been and issue in Ocean Towers now for a couple of years and I had believed that they were only and issue in the 2 other towers and not mine. Now I know that this is a issue with all of the buildings. This compounded with the fact that we have been fumigated twice for cockroaches and they are still very plentyful.
This is the last straw for us, we are g

bedbug survivor on 06/13/2007

They were everywhere! My building manager told me that its a rare thing and no one really gets them anymore. Come to find out tenants in Tower 2 had entire floors getting sprayed for the bugs. My apartment got sprayed 3times in one month and they still weren't gone. Had to move out and throw out all my furniture. I guess bed bugs are beyond common in Ocean Towers. YUCK!
