Yes, pest control was here earlier this year and so far, their efforts appear to have been effective. At this point, your biggest concern are the paper thin walls and a possible neighbour on the 3rd floor with zero respect or consideration for others when it comes to keeping his music down.

Current tenants, please confirm this pest control claim. I would like to move into this building but am worried about bed bugs and ruined furniture. Thanks!

I am writing on behalf of Magical Pest Control
to let the public know two K-9 Bedbug Inspections have taken place at the end of February 2011 throughout the building and on both occasions just a couple of units had slight signs of bedbug activity. On March, 1, 2011 the building was treated with Thermal Machines which is 100% accurate. This building is now fully cleared of bedbugs. Case Closed.

I moved in last April. I have never seen a bed bug, nor have i ever had a bite.

I thought the super was let go because he was too lax about the growing problem. When i had the problem briefly he came in himself and steamed my unit with some sort of home vacuum. He obviously didn't know what he was doing because i had them back in no time. Once we had the new super live-in i had a professional and the problem has not come back since.
The real problem is the city of Toronto. They have only allocated 5 million dollars to a problem that is much greater then a few bux a bui

I used to live here. Moved out early last year after almost a year of dealing with bedbugs. Around that time the super who had been working there was let go when mgmt changed hands. He confided in me when I was moving out that the problem would never go away because the floors, ceilings and wood framed walls were full of them. I was sprayed about 4 times. It was awful and they always came back even though I lived out of plastic bags near the end, vacuumed and steamed all the time. Horrible.

The building was sprayed fully in the beginning of the summer. They then came back two or three weeks later for a followup spray. since then i have seen the spray guy a few times here and there. I think the managers started using Magical pest control wihich is said to be a better company than PPO. Im in the hospatality business so i know what going on in the city. Its a problem in most buildings in the city. I just want to find out if we can get some bedbug dog to come and see where they a

I'm the original poster who started this thread on 8/18/2008.

I wish, at the time, that someone had listed the issue on this site before I moved in, because I lost EVERYTHING.

I had to get rid of all my furniture because I was getting very bad allergic reactions to the bites and couldn't risk bringing them with me. A lot of the bites kept getting infected for some reason, even though I was careful not to scratch them, and I was on antibiotics numerous times.

Hi p.w. -

I can confirm that what the others are saying as true. If you have just moved in but have not seen any signs of the bugs yet, you may still want to take precautions such as keeping your mattress off the floor, reducing clutter, maybe laying down some DE around the baseboards, etc. I moved in last year and it took about a month and a half for the bugs to follow suit. As far as I know, the entire building has been sprayed just once but with no follow up which likely explains this late

Hello, i just moved in, I have had no problems thus far but whats the deal with everyone talking about bedbugs, How many people have actually been effected by this? these posts sound bad but is it really that bad. To Anonymous on 12/08/2010, are you saying you currently live in the building and you currently have bedbugs? That must be really hard. Are you moving? or have you already moved but want to get a itchy point across?

Anonymous on 12/08/2010

I live at this address and the bugs are alive and well. My unit has been sprayed 3 times to no avail, everything washable taken in. I have seen them on multiple occasions including today. Although the superintendent gives the impression that he is working on resolving the issue, I had to call up the pest control company directly to find out the preparation checklist after the first few failed attempts. I wish they would do the whole building and get it done right.

Anonymous on 11/18/2010

Did they end up spraying the entire building at once, or are they still doing single units?

Not placing blame on anyone, but it is November 13th, 2010, and I just found a whole lot in my bed. I have been sprayed multiple times (hoping each time I had to move my stuff away from the walls that it would be the last time), and this is the last straw. I'm out.

Anonymous on 07/18/2010

In 2005 I had bedbugs when I lived here.
I have my stuff in storage since.
I only buy clothing I can wash in hot water and dry for at least 30 on high heat.

They are forever present in my mind still.

I am personally offended young man. I had a call from a friend who was interested in moving in to this building to be closer to me and you just pushed him right away. You are obviously a disgruntled tenant that has beef with someone. I have been in this building for years now. I will not deny it there was an issue but come on bedbugs are not dormant in winter time unless its extremely cold, look it up! I don’t know about you but its been a pretty warm winter. The problem has been fixed,

grossedout on 03/03/2010

This building is a total RIGHT OFF!! Almost half of the tenants left between November and January. Yes, it's a great building in a great location and the apartments are really cute but IT IS INFESTED!! There is a new Super, but I don't think he is even aware of the magnitude of the problem because he came into an almost vacant building and is now renting it all at once. As of Nov/Dec all but 10 (of 30) apartments had bedbugs. If you have to live there, make sure you are on the FIRST FLOOR ONL

I a currently the new Superintedent @ this building and currently reside here as well. As to date, there are no new reported cases that have been foud to be legitamite. I have personally had some units sprayed by PCO for tenants that have thought they had them. We feel it is better to be safe than sorry when dealing with bed begs. I can rest asure anyone looking to rent in this building that it is cleaned daily and carpets vaccuumed on a regular basis. It is a safe environment for renting.

Thanks for everyone’s posts I check this site regularly just to see that I’m not the only one with this problem. It is quite a shame really the building is amazing, such a great location and really great people. The good news is i heard from the grape vine (Mr. M). The new management is really pouring a lot of money into the spraying operation. I personally have not been bit in a while it must be working.

They're spraying all the apartments finally. It's a joke, though. The apartment next to mine is infested and now I have to pack up everything so they can spray. I want compensation!

Anonymous Previous Tenant on 11/10/2009

I'm not surprised that this building is infested. I used to live there in 2004, and at that time, it was infested with carpenter ants - told the "superintendant" , but he did nothing. He was known to let himself illegally into people's apartments and would promise to fix things and not do the repairs. I eventually moved out. You can check with the Landlord Tenant Bureau and file and complaint. But I believe that the owner is a lawyer, who also seems to only care about getting rent. Good l

This is the second time that they've had to do a round of spraying in my unit. I KNOW they are not spraying the units around mine and I know they are also not telling my neighbours.

The landlord keeps telling me that it's because they're doing work in the other units and that is chasing out the bugs into neighbours - well then, shouldn't they spray everyone all at once? It's not a big building!

I asked if there was some sort of compensation I could recive - be released from my lease a mont

I agree completely! They chase the problem instead of getting ahead of it. I've seen people with several infestations and no one in management admits it! Tell the truth and fix the problem. We are a clean building. It's not the tenants' fault! Kill them all at once and get a regular program going the same way buildings look after other pests. What do they want us to do...adopt them (bed bugs)?

They won't kill them in the walls. They keep coming back. They spray with no effect. A shame too. I have heard others had them too but didn't know how bad until now.

Anonymous on 08/14/2009

This is a only a three-floor building and there have been numerous bed bug infestations. The individual apartments are sprayed but not before all adjacent apartments are infected. The walls and ceilings are full of bed bugs and the landlords are fully aware of the problem. Entire floors need to be fumigated. Check the lint traps in the dryers - sometimes you even find dead ones!

This has been a long term problem with no large scale spraying efforts. It's always "no one else has complained". I had none for the winter and then they are back. If someone can afford a lawyer, find out how many times this place has been sprayed. The owners know they have been here for at least a year and will not solve the problem. Moving to another infested building will not help! These things can be eliminated by responsible owners.

Hi J,

I\'m sorry you\'re going through this also.

I am so furious at this guy for lying to me! I\'ve lost a lot of time and money because of this situation.

J on 09/07/2008

I have them too! He also told me no, that were no infestations when I asked. He sprayed my basement apartment for free last week. So far no reoccurance. Waiting for the second spraying.

FYI, this building is not infested with roaches or rodents, just tons of bedbugs.

Anonymous on 08/18/2008

Rented a bachelor, asked landlord prior to moving in if he had problems with pests, he said NO. A month later I discovered that the place was infested and my neighbors had been sprayed numerous times, to no avail.

Landlord is a liar. Be wary of this building.
