This can be a slightly annoying building to live in, with the seemingly constant construction and frequent shutdowns of water/electricity for various building renos, but I have lived here for over 2 years and have never seen a bedbug. The management tested/pretreated my unit 2 or 3 times and reported no bedbugs. My only issue was that it seemed somewhat excessive. Now, reading this, I'm glad they were so vigilant. I did have 2 mice about a year and a half ago, but since I got 2 cats, I haven't h

I would not move into this building again. I am currently looking to leave. I agree with the other post. The management is rude. I have been freezing in my unit. There is no heat. Guests who come to visit always complain about how cold it is in my unit and have to keep there coats on no joke. Besides the converns of bedbugs, the water and elecricity are serious issues here. I can't believe that I am paying money and I get no heat, off and on water and electicity. I have been tempted to c

I just moved in and I love the location but I find that the management are very rude. Bysides that fact, I was wondering if any tenants would like to meet to discuss what we can do resolve and perhaps get a rebate in rent, in accordance with the Landlord and Tenancy Act, 2006.

Im curious about the bedbug matter. Do they spread from unit to unit, because my understanding is they do not, but if im ill informed, please post and correct me. Also, mice? WTF. Thats disgusting.

Hi everyone!
So please, confirm again. After all these renovations the've done in 30 Hillsboro building, are there still mice and bedbugs issues. I am making my decision about moving to this building on the 19-th floor. And is there is a same problem in the 50 Hilsboro building? Or is it just 30? Thank you!

Hahah. The two positive comments below are from the management. I can tell because they use the same spelling on the building notices. If you like living with NO water or NO electricty for 2 of the 7 days of the week then this place is for you.

I have seen filty mattresses outside in the back. This building is falling apart! I was reading the other post about water and electricty. Funny, they are actually shutting it off again tomorrow. It happens every few days!!! The water is dark yellow and just NASTY. The management company does not care. I have decided to leave next month. BEWARE OF 30 + 50 HILLSBORO!!!

I can see I am not the only one who has had problems living here! I have heard of the bed bug problem but my problem is the water/electricity and parking garage. Garage is filthy dirty and scary. The management company turns the electricty and water off at least twice a week for several hours (3-8 hours) at a time. This impacts, showering, cooking, tv, internet. Its really really bad. The water is filthy as well! Be warned!!!

To answer your question about the building. It's extremely old and outdated. The elevators and hallways are in serious need of repair and updating. The management company is very bad and unresponsive.

The tap water is concerning. It's dark yellow and cloudy. I do not feel safe washing my fruits or vegetables or using it to cook with it.

The parking garage has been under construction for 2 years causing extreme dirt and dust. As you walk through the garage to get to your car you trac

I am so glad that I read this before deciding of taking one of the unit on the 22 floor..... I have been searching for apartments in the past weeks and have found places that I appealed to and noticed that those are infested with bedbugs...

It's the building at 30 Hillsboro Ave... still invested with bed bugs ???? how's the maintenance, went to the garage today and the rest of the facility... it's really dated and somehow gave me this spokey feeling.... can anyone tell me more about this buil

Terrible building to live in: it is infested with bed bugs, roaches and mice. The elevators are disgusting, the garage has been in ruins for the last 2 years and will be under construction for another 3 years. Construction noise, dirt and dust everywhere. The building is rotten inside and out. All the pipes are rusted, tap water is undrinkable. Safety and security is a concern. The building owners are cheap bastards who haven't spent a penny on the maintenance of this building in the last

I always find it ironic that people turn up their noses to the building but still move in or live here. Great location, NO cockroaches OR mice. People are attracted to the building for its great location (now referred to as "Upper Yorkville") and very reasonable rent with good sized units with great views. It never fails to amaze me how hypocritical people are. My view, if you don't like it, get out and pay what you would need to pay for the lifestyle you are looking for. Since you obviousl

I am quite disappointed in this whole process. You would think with such an infestation across the city, the inspectors would be a bit more careful. When the inspectors came with their dogs, they inspected the apartment next to me, and came out reporting that there were indeed bedbugs there. Then, without treating the dogs, they brought them into my apartment within seconds, only to report that I also had bedbugs too. Later, they reported that they only pre-treated my apartment, not treat for be

Entire building was treated for bedbugs. In ten years of my occupancy NO information about bedbugs was reported to me by previous management/owners.
I have to be thankful for the Ontario and Toronto governments' financial support it seems for this effort.
More evidence for me that landlords care only about saving and making money.

I live in this building and I never had problems.
The building is clean, they do many improvements, it is quiet and nice.
The apartments are new renovated, all new, new cabinets, granite counter top, silver appliance, new bathroom renovations, is very comfortable to live here in the new apartment.

Superintendent is very promptly when a problem occurs each and solve everything immediately.

That is my opinion.

Actualy the problem was solved last year. i live here and never had any problem. about the renovations i think is a great thing for the people who live here. and the thing about arise the rent cant be done. by law they have to wait one year to change your rent.

Also the people who complain about are people who dont even live here.

Its a quiet building, nice people, nice staff.

so that's my opinion.

Cheers

30 hillsboro unit 708 on 12/25/2010

I am now suffering the same situation.
My unit has been infested and I had to throw out my bed and sofa. I am moving out!
Apparently the bugs came from the unit above me.
I find it outrageous that they do not come forward and warn tenants. I am prepared to leave a note at every unit to let them know what has happened.
The underground parking is a dispicable mess and proof about how the owners feel about the building and tenants. The elevators are dirty and they are complete liars about th

Briar THIS on 12/03/2010

New management is now inspecting all couple-of- hundred individual units for whatever reason with little notice and leaving vaguely-worded possible eviction threats to those who dared to ask for extermination or don't live up to Architectural Digest standards. Yes, we do have sporadic bedbugs in this building.

One would think that paying over twelve thousand a year for the privilege of living in a forty-something year old building with questionable ele vator access, intermittent hot water an

Discovered them at the beginning of August, the same week I saw a mouse! On a high floor of a 25 story building???? Building is negligent in prevention to say the least. Two treatments later and problem seems to be solved. Building manager good about dealing with it, but it doesn't make it any less pleasant or costly. Claimed that they hadn't had any reports in months....hmmmm interesting That there are three more here within two months prior to mine! And how many others haven't reported it here

disgusted tenant on 06/16/2010

Suddenly, earlier this month, I fell prey to an infestation. The building acted as though it was common and didn't seem alarmed. I woke up for days with welts and had to spend a lot of money laundering my clothes, linens, etc. to prevent the spread of the infestation. There was a delay even in treating them because of errors made by building staff (and bedbugs probably reproduced and laid eggs to hatch later in this crucial interim period).

This was not the first infestation. There was one su

I found myself swamped in bedbugs this June when I was at home after an accident. I had heard of them, of course, but thought that after 33 years in my apartment that I had nothing to worry about.

After going online and confirming the problem, I went to my building superintentent who told me that once a month, after written permission, I could have my place sprayed. He mentioned that on the floor above me and a few units over, that the problem was so bad that they had to spray twice and tha
