not only do i think this place is crawling but (josph) the landlord likes to use your apt. for a crash den for other tenets as well as let your apt. be used as a public bathroom when your not home for ppl. looking at apt.

renter beware on 10/13/2011

does anyone have any current information about 15 penrose road? a friend of mine looked at an apartment there the other day and fell in love with it. imagine her dismay when she googled her future address and found a slew of bedbug alerts for the building! she's spoken to the landlord who is insisting the problem has been taken care of. she wants to believe him but of course, needs to be smart here. anyone want to share?

"According to the law"... hahaha what a putz. The post questions why other posters won't include their full names and then ends with a threat. hahaha putz.

I've seen bed bugs in this apartment building. The hallways are carpeted which is just silly. Upkeep is lacking.

I visited the place last week, and thank goodness i discovered this page, I thought i noticed insects in the building and rats chipping through the wooden walls. I will stay away from it (the garbage in the back is the source of this infestation as well as the building that needs professional insect management)

I was looking for a review on the net of this place to see if i was the only person to have the bed bugs infestation.
I also noticed huge insects wandering in the building (hundreds) and rodents as well.
the building is very old and the management wants everything to stay cheap even on the expense of residents health.
I hope the health department is notified and the building is evicted because this is a serious problem

I agree that there is a big bed bugs and insects infestation in the building.
multiple factors play a role in the problem, the garbage disposal in the building is a problem, and the building itself is old and infested.
I would think twice about renting in it, as the problem is very big.

The landlord seems unwilling to accept the fact that there is a SERIOUS BEDBUG PROBLEM in this building. Rather than employ a thorough and professional extermination strategy, the landlord seems content with a sort of 'band-aid' solution approach. This means that the maintenance guy will sort of stroll over and do a little "poof....poof's" with some outdated spray and that will be that. No inspection, no follow up, no nothing.

The only reason a comprehensive BEDBUG solution has not been att

This is in response to the letter posted by the Penrose Property Management team:

This website is not a personal attack on apt building, there is no reason why anybody would want to cause a problem for you. People have better things to do with their time, thank you.

This site is to inform and protect tenents within the city. As you have not informed people who have recently moved in, which is understandable from your point of view, it is necessary for people to have a source of informatio

former property manager on 08/11/2010

I was a property manager for this building years ago. We sprayed for bugs twice a year, even if no one made any bug complaints. We always started on the top floor of this 3 story building as the spray company suggested for a proper job. If anyone in the building sees even one bug of any kind, do 2 things. First, write a note and slip it under the office door with your work and home phone numbers on it, so the maintenance guy can see the apartment and make an appointment to spray each unit that d

I moved into 15 Penrose in June and within 2 months I discovered that I had bedbugs. I believe this place is infested because I saw a bedbug crawl across my bed in broad daylight, which is unusual behaviour for them. As well, I found at least 6 other full grown bedbugs near my mattress and I u=in my night stand. The landlord acts like this is a minor situation and when I told him I was moving out, he said "bed bugs are everywhere in Toronto" to which I replied, "so you have

I too had bedbugs in this building. It was a nightmare, and although management attempted to be supportive, they were unwilling or unable to understand what a huge problem bedbugs are. I got limited spray treatment by an exterminator, and management had no qualms about renting out my apartment to someone new while it was still being treated.

Thanks so much for writing those reviews!
I was just going to visit the place and found this out!

I lived here too. It was a nighmare. I had to throw away my clothes, my mattress, and pieces of furniture with fabric because the place was infested. The bedbugs would feed at night but sometimes I would catch them biting my feet when it was late in the evening. I would hit one and it would burst with blood from the bloodmeal. Management did not take the issue seriously enough and let the problem get out of hand. BEWARE OF THIS APARTMENT AND BEWARE OF THE BEDBUGS.

There are a LOT of bed bugs here. Ive stayed in places with bed bugs before but this place is the "master nest".

Managment is supportive and tries to spray, but there are just too many.
