I specifically asked the super about bugs in the building before I moved in and was told “oh no, not here, we even have a pest company comes here every month to make sure we don’t”. Bunch of liars!! Don’t even consider moving into this dump, the only thing you will accomplish by moving here is to support a slumlord, aka North 44 Property management.

City of Toronto, Public Health is starting to investigate the infestation issues at 1 Homewood and some punitive actions are in the plan……

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!!! I specifically asked the super when i got a tour of the apartment, before renting, if there had been any roach, bed bug etc problems and she stone-faced LIED. She said there was the "odd mouse" but that is it. These people have no integrity. It doesn't matter if they spray, the bugs will be back. I have read that to prevent bed bugs from spreading light switches/electrical outlets and ceiling fixtures should be tightened as to not let bed bugs through....not like that would make a diff here! All these outlets have holes in the PLASTER, so tightening will do nothing. Oh and don't get me started on all the gaps in the baseboards/floors. In my kitchen you can see down to the lower floor as the floor has shifted and now there is a huge space. Mice/roaches/bed bugs/whatever would have a pleasant time using this method of entry. But i guess they could also just slip under the huge gap between the front door and the floor. The hideously filthy hall carpeting (which i doubt had EVER been sprayed) also helps them out i'm sure. Oh and the fact that ALL my surrounding neighbours have bed bugs too might also enhance any new tenents chance of getting them. To the tenant that posted that they had never seen a bug and (possibly?) dont think it is a prob in the building, all i have to say: GIVE IT TIME. Soon enough. This place is a dump and the landlords act hard-done-by. Ya i guess lying to ppl regularly and being feasted on nightly tends to piss ppl off....i can attest to the later..........STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE....AND ANY OF THE PLACES ON HOMEWOOD! iTS NOT WORTH IT!!!!!

I just came across this registry and out of curiosity I checked 1 Homewood. It's pretty revealing that this address seems to have more infestation reports on this site than any in Toronto. Anyhow, I'm not surprised. I lived there about a year and a half ago and moved precisely because of the bedbug infestation and other things, losing a couch, two couch chairs, a rug, and other items that I suspected housed bugs. Many swollen bites on toes, and legs tends to serve as a nice reminder that you need to move.

Luckily, Walmart carries a bag that seals mattresses (and the bedbugs in). So when you move, don't throw out your mattress or boxspring, just buy these bags for them and seal your mattresses right before you move into your new spot. Keep your mattress sealed for more than a year (the lifespan of a bedbug). It worked out successfully for me, too bad I couldn't do the same for my couch and rugs and other clothed belongings.

Anyhow, both my boyfriend and I were bit many times. It got to the point where we researched how to look for them. We caught specimens and kept them in ziploc bags to show the landlords (to get them to spray). Spraying was extremely inconvenient as I had to lock my cats in the bathroom so they wouldn't get poisoned when the sprayers came. They "sprayed" about three times over a year and a half before I said enough was enough, and moved out.

The bedbugs were only the final straw for that place. There are other chronic issues that compound the problems tenants at 1 Homewood experience. Considering there were perpetual jobless drunks living in the unit next door, and other tenants who ventilate their cigarette smoke filled units into the hall, disregarding the welfare of others (despite direct warnings), it's no wonder the types who the landlords let occupy some units are those that might bring in infested furniture (perhaps through dumpster diving as on poster suggested).

The landlords are hit and miss, you can sometimes get their attention but it's clear the band-aid approaches to the bedbug issue has resulted in huge unexpected costs to many tenants. In this respect, they have been completely negligent and incompetent. I'm sure many thousands of dollars have been lost because they 1. never had a proper total spraying of building 2. have prior knowledge of bug issue yet still show units to unknowing prospective renters without disclosing the bug history.

To fix this issue, a few things need to happen.

1. get rid of the landlords. Period. Anyone who has dealt with issues in this building (bugs or otherwise) understands that they are the prime reason why the bugs keep going.

2. spray the building entirely, and thoroughly, all at once perhaps with a new competent spraying company.

3. have regular city inspections scrutinizing the building in EVERY respect. If the building is neglected in one way, it's probably neglected in many ways. There was one incident where an electrical short was ignored for over a month and when it was addressed, it was the fault of a two prong dollar-store extension cord running power between walls. Not being rated for inner-wall power, it had disintegrated over the years (can you say fire hazard!). I suspect there are many many parts of this building that aren't up to standard. Considering the (male) landlord and his buddies are the ones "renovating" the units, the cut corners cash-saving schemes are what likely lead to many of the problems such as cross infestation between units and the shoddy electrical work I witnessed.

Anyhow. I'm glad to see I wasn't crazy with the ridiculousness I witnessed at this address. Hopefully people read and stay away. Stay elsewhere!

Hey everyone.
I am currently a resident of 1 Homewood Ave. I am here to set the record straight regardless of any pervious post made here. Let me first just say that I have extensive post secondary education in Entomology (the study of insects), and I am a private practitioner in the services sector of the Public Health industry.

This building is indeed infested with insects of many types including the (Cimex lectularius) aka "Bed Bugs". In relevant research, Bedbugs seem to possess all of the necessary prerequisites for being capable of passing diseases from one host to another, but there have been no known cases of bed bugs passing disease from host to host. There are at least twenty-seven known pathogens (some estimates are as high as forty-one) that are capable of living inside a bed bug or on its mouthparts. Extensive testing has been done in laboratory settings that also conclude that bed bugs are unlikely to pass disease from one person to another. Therefore bedbugs are less dangerous than some more common insects such as the flea. However, transmission of Chagas disease or hepatitis B might be possible in appropriate settings.

1 Homewood Ave DID YOU KNOW?

- On May 25, 2006 — Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's (CMHC) popular Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program gave 1 Homewood Ave $762,000 for the rejuvenation of the property and to the benefit the tenants.

link: http://www.canequity.com/mortgage-news/archive/2006/2006-05-25_CMHC-toronto_benefit_1_6_million_reno.stm

I don't know about all of you, but I don't see more than half a million dollars of anything going on in here. The rapid degrading state of this building is cause to question the actual use of the $762,000 revitalization money given to 1 Homewood.

Aside from that fact that this building is clearly infested with bed bugs and mice, the buildings superintendents are in violation of many laws and the lease agreements, including but not limited to:
superintendents and their guests smoking in common areas of the building. Superintendents allowing their pet dog to regularly urinate and defecate in the flower bed located in the front of the building, and little to no regular house keeping in common areas of the building.

There is no question that the supers themselves are questionable people, as are many they allow to move in. It is my opinion that that no person(s) would willingly choose to participate in an occupancy at 1 Homewood Avenue under the knowledge this post provides.

We are moving, and I encourage all of you to do the same. If I had known it was this bad, I never would have moved in. Tenants of 1 Homwoood in one loud voice: "BUYERS REMORSE"

sincerely,
- I hate this place

I’ve lived at 1 Homewood for 1 ½ years now and have had one incident with Bedbugs that was quickly dealt with. I’ve had some bedbugs bites appear on me in the past but a good cleaning and spraying by pest control has seemed to minimize the problem. I vacuum and clean my sleeping area and mattress on a weekly basis, which must sever as an added line of defense.

But to echo the thoughts in some of the previous posts, this building is in need of some vast improvements regarding the cleanness in the common areas. The laundry room if filthy most of the times, which I don’t understand since that area is high risk for transmitting bedbugs between tenants. Also, I think management allows some questionable people to move into this building, some of who may be bring the bugs with them.

Hi James:

Just for the record, I am neither the Super or from the Management Office. I am a renter who has been here since October 1996. I have lived in two units since living here and have never had problems with bed bugs in either unit.

I do not post Fake posts, and resent the fact that you would think any differantly.

I was looking for an apartment for my friend and was told about this regisrty. I also work for a large pest management company so I know alot about various pests. Bed bugs are "hitch hikers". They do not appear in a home, school dorm, hotel or luggage because the person or property is dirty. They are carried in by someone make no mistake about that. Due to an increase in international travel, bed bugs have made their way back into society. They are difficult to treat but not impossible. Hotels and landlords who treat are doing their job and Public Health knows this. They must be reported by a hotel guest or tenant because they are so small and are not easily detected. Hope this info helps people keep down the hysteria about this pest.

August 2008
It took me several weeks to figure out what was going on here, but it is a bed bug infestation for sure.
I have reported it to the city and the landlord, and yes they have sprayed for it.
But the underlying problems - open garbage at the back of the building, dirty common areas, especially the basement, are breeding grounds for the bugs and mice. Unless they are taken care of this will continue.
Plus all floor-wall joints should be sealed. No holes or cracks between apartments.
I've lost a lot of articles because of this - bedding, clothes, furniture - and I will be seeking compensation.
But this is nothing compared to the disgust I feel, the bites I've suffered and the sleepless nights.
The City Public Health Inspector for the area said people should call the City at 416-338-1500 to report this and any other health issue.
Obviously, the more of us who call, the better.
Property Standards should be called re. mice and other unhealthy conditions at 416-392-0827. Call in the morning because they are out most of the day doing inspections.
The Rental Tribunal, where you can seek payment, is at the Landlord and Tenant Board at 416-645-8080.

I too have bedbugs now at 1 Homewood.
I appreciated this post:

Ok I understand that people might not want to identify themselves here cuz we all know what management is like but if anyone is considering filing an application with the landlord tenant board please do! The more of us that file claims the most likely we are to get what we are looking for. I spoke to the board and you can file a T2 which is a claim for financial repayment for lost property and other costs associated with having to throw out everything you own and move (which is the only sure fire solution to these buggers) and you can file a T6 which relates to them not keping the place up to reasonable standards of living (ie covered in roaches and bed bugs). The board recommends filing both applications and there is a good chance you can get something back, as well as get out of your lease early with no penalty, especially since there are several people who could be making this claim. The cost to file is only $45 and you get that back when they make the judgement. It takes a couple of weeks. www.ltb.gov.on.ca is the website to get the forms. Don't let them beat us more than they already have, we're losing enough as it is.

I have lived in 1 Homewood for more than 12 years, and have never had any of these problems with bedbugs and any pest issues that come with an older building have always been handled by both the Supers and Management very quickly. I do know that others have said they have had these issues with bedbugs, but I do question some of the complaints made. One way to stop bedbugs is for people to stop "Dumpster Diving" and bringing in items that have been thrown away. You have no idea what the reason is that these thing are in the trash, so assume they have been thrown out for a reason. Just a thought

Submitted by "Anonymous" on 07/29/2008

Yeah like that isn't a suspicious post. I feel so bad. We are moving out any day and I see them showing people the apartments all around mine and I know mine is infested with all kinds of pests and they didn't take my requests for help seriously until I called head office and filed against them in the landlord tenant board so these other units can't be much better and I feel really bad for these people. They have no clue what they are getting into and how this can ruin their lives. If you are at all considering 1 Homewood just think...there are alot of people reporting problems here and we can't all be making it up. It really is as bad as it sounds. Do yourself a favour and look elsewhere. If it seems to good to be true it's because it is. Spare yourself the aggrevation and look elsewhere.

Seems like everyone on this web site has an agenda. Ppl, do your own homework. I found these comments no help at all. Has anyone ever visited tripadvisor.com? Same bull there. Any disgruntled person can go to the site a post very unreal, even false information. Then you'll read about dozens of others who just LOVE the place. Same hotel, different opinion.

I don't know if the previous poster is a spammer (five posts suggests someone with possibly questionable intent). It also clashes entirely with the other postings here.

Even if the poster is telling the truth, ask yourself this. Aren't you most likely going to get a unit recently vacated by a previous tenant due to this problem - or this "holy grail" unit that has had an entirely different experience than ten other renters.

Don't kid yourself.

dg --

As evidenced from the recent and repeated posts on this site, you can be WELL ASSURED that the situation is not improving. It is actually appearing to get worse. If I could see you in person, I would literally beg you to not sign ANY contract with this apartment - you WILL be infested without question. Don't submit yourself to that willingly.

Research all apartments prior to signing anything, avoid areas of significant bedbug activity - and live by the old adage - if it's too good to be true (price), it probably is.

At this juncture, I'd recommend converted houses in average neighbourhoods over most "budget" high rises in the city. I would avoid Moss Park all together if possible.

Submitted by "dg" on 07/02/2008

Hey everyone,

We don't live in this apartment yet so we can't complain about any bedbug incidents. We haven't signed a contract yet but were planning on doing it for the August area.

After stumbling across this website (in hopes of doing some research about the apartment), we can say that our hopes of moving into this place are nearly shattered. It's very upsetting to hear of all the damage that has been caused as a result of these bedbugs.

Does anybody know if anything is being done to cure this problem? We're really wanting to live here but are unwilling to do so if the apartment is infested. Are the landlords completely unwilling to budge on this issue? How long has this problem gone on for? Aside from the bedbugs, are there any other issues with this place?

If anyone knows anything, please post an update. Thank you very much! I really appreciate it.

I lived here for about 7 months but had to leave after 5 1/2 and commute from hamilton to go to U of T because I couldn\'t stand living there anymore. It was infested with bed bugs, and I told them numerous times to fumigate it and they never did, or if they did, it was a really bad job. They claimed to have fumigated it one time when I was out, but I know they didn\'t as nothing had been moved at all. Be aware this place is infested with bed bugs, and I have to throw out a brand new leather couch, my new bed, and all my other furniture.

June 24th, 2008. Glad I found this website. I have had bedbugs for 3 months now. The landlord will not spray every 2 weeks as Public Health advised him. When he does spray it's only once/month and the fumigater is not a reputable person (He's just a friend of the Landord) I have bought 2 vinyl mattress covers, spray and 2 sided tape. Also have read everything to maintain or get rid of these bugs. The problem is, they are coming in from downstairs where storage room is full of mold and wasted furniture.

I live in a 4 storey with 16 units. Most tenants say they don't have them, just roaches.

I have bed bugs and my unit has been fumigated but the bed bugs have just travelled to the unit across from mine. We have had to get rid of our bed frame, our sofa and have all of our belongings in plastic bags and are sleeping on a mattress on the floor with a plastic case around the mattress. The building is not alerting the other tenants that there is a bed bug problem. I have talked to some tenants and have found out that they have had bed bugs before as well. Today I was given an eviction notice and the reason the landlord put for why I am being evicted is because they are stating that I distributed flyers warning other tenants that the premises are infested with bed bugs, that i posted a flyer stating the apartment building has bed bugs and that they have lost money due to what I have reported to others about the bed bug problem. I have done none of these things and I believe the landlords want me out and are evicting me to get me to shut up about the fact that they have a bed bug problem. People are moving into this building not knowing that they too could get bed bugs as well. I hope others will read this and stay away from this buidling. I know of 5 units that have either had bed bugs or have them right now.

I was really surprised to read about this building having bbugs because I just moved out at the end of Feb/08 after 4 years. I still have several friends living there and they have never experienced such a thing either. We find the building to be clean and well maintained. If there is a problem with bbugs, it must be very recent and contained. The management even has a notice posted openly for all tenants to see in the lobby, that a professional pest control company treats the building regularly in an effort to keep the premises free from any types of pests. I'm assuming if a person living there needs service in their unit and reports it, they will get it. I would recommend this small, historic building to people looking for an affordable, well located place to live. That's been my experience anyways.

This building is completely infested and the owners are taking little to no action. They treat (and not thoroughly) only the units that report an issue and therefore the bugs have continued to spread. I had to throw away all of my belongings (bed, couch, chair, large amount of clothing) and move.
