*16th Floor*
We moved in to the building in September of 2011, and by December my boyfriend and I started waking up with little red bite marks all over us. I had never dealt with beg bugs before and it took a few days for us to figure out what the marks were from. Once we realized, we immediately went downstairs to management to complain and put in a written request to have our unit sprayed as soon as possible. Two weeks later Orkin finally sprayed my unit and after hundreds of dollars in clean
ing supplies, laundry, etc my unit seemed to be pest free. Fast forward two months later (Feb 2012) and I have started finding bed bugs crawling under my door as well as the baseboards around my front entrance hallway. They are obviously coming from other units and the disgusting old carpet in the hallway and management don't seem to care at all. This building is a complete dive and moving here was the biggest mistake I have ever made. Management is useless and the more I look in to Metcap the more I realize they are nothing but a large corporate SLUM LORD. I'm taking them to the rental tenant board to get out of my lease and all I can say is there's an obvious reason why Metcap was given the Golden Cockroach award last year for the worst landlords in the city. Do your research before making the mistake of moving into this hell hole!!!!

WORST BUILDING I HAVE EVER SEEN! honestly the basement washroom is full of heroin needles and alcohol. There's piss on every floor in the stairs, there are bedbugs on every floor, its completely infested, there are roaches just crawling around on the walls, there were even rats at a certain point if i remember correctly. Severe water damage in the basement, could cause the building to collapse, graffiti, vandalism everywhere, supers who can hardly speak English and fix none of the problems, man
agement that completely ignores your requests, pigeons on the balconies, constant power failures or fire alarm tests. Constant need for elevator repair. Just please do not under any circumstance move to this building. It is nothing but a cesspool of vermin and filth. If anyone is reading this i urge you to contact and inspector of some sort to either bring this building up to code or SHUT IT DOWN!

I have been living in this place for a while now, and it is nothing but crap. We were infested by bedbugs, which it took them 2 months to come and spray. (Even though we reported it when we first noticed) And now, right after the bedbugs we are dealing with cockroaches. Which we are still waiting to be dealt with. Like everyone else has said "AVOID 10 MACEY!!!"

Hi. I have been in this building in 2010. I have seen 2 supers who came, couldn't survive and left.. the last one was good (forgot his name), but nonetheless I had to pay for my entire tenure even if my apartment was not liveable.
I was in Apt. 509. I got to know my neighbours that Apt. 508, 510, 506,511 (and I guess the entire floor) all were heavily infested with Bed bugs. Those guys also left with me..
This building is a depot of filth and vermin, and besides bed bugs you would find all
sorts of insects and roaches, pigeons. Not sure if bed bugs and these are related, but I remember I never got a peaceful day during my stay in this building.
Twice they sprayed chemicals that didn't seem to work. I still got the bites after some days, albeit the sharpness of the bites after they sprayed caused less inflammation.
Finally when I was hopeless I searched another rental apt. and left.
In my opinion - stay away from 10 Macey Avenue. Don't even think if you are getting a unbelievably good deal with MetCap - they are cheaters!
finally free from this hell now on 09/03/2011
Avoid at all costs - extremely unprofessional building.
I am new in Canada and when arrived was unsuspecting. Never knew such a thing exists. On the very first day of arrival I noticed some red marks which I thought was allergic reaction to seafoods, later my Doctor said these could be potential bed bug marks which I verified within a week.
This building has tons of bedbugs and actually infamous in the locality for this reason. These bugs creep from vents and electric lines and through the
hallway.. the entire building is infested by them - at least the lower floors are certain to have them.
Most old tenants know this, and try to take measures themselves knowing that management won't do a thing. Even if you report they would first yell at you and accuse of carrying these pests with you. If you insist the would have their typical vendor called who would ask you to leave the first thing. The vendor is paid (I guess I remember this correctly - 11 dollars) per apartment.. so they do what they are paid for.
My wife had severe bites on her eyes (that was worst), the management still dared to deny it!
My Advice to tenants: this is futile to argue with the management. They have really thick skin and won't really care. Rather collect some of these bugs in a clear zip-lock bag and take it to the nearest City inspector.
They may not allow you to brake the lease and leave peacefully - you can then take help from tenancy board.
I have suffered a lot - it was a living hell. Earlier Super - Mike and Shahan were the gatekeepers of that hell who were asked to leave by the MetCap management.
This building is typically for tenants who live on Govt. support (i.e. without jobs), so no other building would allow them entry. Some tenants also have a habit of take with them thrown-away stuff.. unless that practice is stopped no one can stop the spread of bugs.
Let me not stop you if you are still keen to pursue your luck - go and check for yourself.
Just ask local residents before you pay for the first and the last months' rent!

moved in on July 9th 2011 from Montreal- have had nothing but problems with my unit- upon signing of my lease i was informed that this unit in particular was clean and no cockroaches. Since moved in i have found tons of cockroaches and to top it off today (7/27/2011) i woke up with bites on my neck which I'm guessing is bed bugs.. i will be moving out of the unit ASAP... they can take me to the rental board.. i have pictures and emails to prove this. AVOID 10 MACEY AVE!!!

I moved in here November 1st, and the apartment hadn't been sprayed yet. They said they would spray within the first 2 weeks - didn't happen. November 13th, I woke up with bites that I didn't understand. Then finally realized they were bed bugs. I reported them, they said they'd come spray, then when they arrived they told me I wasn't prepared for it - my super never provided me with a sheet with all of the information to prepare for sprayings. It is now Feb 8th, and still nothing has been done.
I'm still covered in bites and need out of this place ASAP!
