Zorro, I didn't complain, but surely the complaint of one person is disregarded unless they are complaining about a safety issue that the condo is legally required to fix? Welcome to the world of brand new condo ownership - bleeding money everywhere, and we all know where the money's coming...

Forget Talking to Idiots Like That! Please call the cops next time it's 3am and there's a party going on upstairs. I don't think anything you could ever say would convince those idiots to shut up, and the police will probably find something illegal in their condo.... ;)

Child care? This is a condo, not a commune!!!!!!

Living in a ghetto? Ghetto does as ghetto is!

Well, that might explain the problem! Thanks, Koff! Hopefully, everyone will get access to the lobby channel soon!

Maybe the "Lobby Channel" isn't available when you use a digital box? I don't know why the "lobby channel" isn't working on our TVs; but, maybe it's like my father's condo. He has 2 TVs and didn't bother to install a digital box on the second one and it gets the lobby channel. With the...

I Hadn't Thought of that Tim Horton! I hadn't thought about people running home businesses out of the condo. We could make it a rule once we have a board elected to prevent people from running any type of home business based in their unit, but could we enforce it, even with security guards...

More Reasons For Security Guards! The people who are using the library like another party room or an extension of their living room know neither what a library is; nor how one has to behave in a condo! This is a shame, we should do something about it... get security guards!

I agree with Kooch 100% I agree with everything Kooch says about security and how condo security is so very different from home owners' security needs. I have a friend who lives downtown and her building has a 24/7 concierge/security guard which she said costs $70,000.00/year. Split...

Security Guards I'm not around during the day, so I haven't noticed kids coming back with their friends from the high school beside us. Kooch is right. How could we stop kids from bringing home their friends (when their parents are working) and doing dubious things without 24/7...

Security should have been a given from the start! Well, the vandalism and thefts confirm my new belief that a condo in the middle of Scarborough should have 24/7 security staff. Somehow I doubt we'll get that when people find out how much it would cost. I wonder though if the...

But the vast majority of comments on this forum ARE negative. The vast majority of comments on this forum are quite negative, Angry has merely listed them all. Why the bad temper guys? We should be directing this, if any, towards Norstar, not each other.

I, too am shocked that there is no A/C in the hallway of a condominium. This is not normal practice, but perhaps what we can expect in a "no-frills", "low maintenance fee" condominium?

The point is, we all see the state of the common areas and everyone in this forum except you and 1 or 2 others has noted multiple deficiencies in their own units; shoddy work, poor materials, broken heating/AC units, leaking windows/balconies, etc.. It is funny that for 2 years almost every...

Nels_TO, I understand & agree with what you meant. Thank you for explaining. It is a huge difference with other projects, as you pointed out! Maybe Norstar tried to fool us with incredibly low fees (that we knew were going to go up), but it looks like they'll go up more than we expected.
