Jumping in elevators? Really? Is it such a prevalent problem that we needed a patronizing mass email notice about it? LOL.

That's the only logical explanation I can think of. We basically gave Times Group an interest free loan.

Re 2010 Realty taxes: Yes, buyers paid the taxes as part of the occupancy fee. However, most of the realty taxes portion of the occupancy fee was credited back to buyers on final closing. The credit was buried amongst all the other adjustments and applied to the final closing price so it...

MPAC assess our properties for tax purposes. The survey looks like pre-screening for an on-site assessment. Seems legit to me. If you look on the top right corner, they already have the purchase price on file.

Yeah, I should have been clearer. I meant this discussion forum when I said "board." I'm extrapolating from my experience handing out flyers re. the blinds issue, asking owners to join this forum to discuss the blinds problem. I covered 4 floors and no one knew about this forum. Should we post...

I'm pretty sure only a tiny portion of all 500 Sherbourne residents are actually on this board.

My lawyer told me that the property taxes will not be assessed until 2 years after closing or some mumbo jumbo like that. At that time, the taxes will be assessed retroactively and I would get a bill for 2 years of accumulated taxes. She suggested I put aside a bit of money every month to...

Maybe post up the meeting minutes? Not this one but future meetings.

Yeah, democracy can be such a farce some times. Is it possible to call an immediate re-election on the grounds that management failed to inform all owners of the nomination process? It was impossible for Karen Lang to win as proxy votes were already cast before her nomination. And proxy votes...

Back to blinds and final closing. If your closing is coming up soon, your lawyer should already have the final statement of adjustments. Just bug him/her. My closing is Thursday. My lawyer sent me the final statement of adjustments yesterday (after I insisted on seeing it before my...

Besides the blinds issue and a false fire alarm early this morning, everything about this place is great! Location is fine, <10 min walk to Yonge St. 20 min walk to Dundas Square, 10-15 min walk to Yorkville, 5 min walk to Sherbourne station on the Bloor line. I find that it's close enough to...

My closing is next week and I still haven't received the final statement of adjustments. I've instructed my lawyer to reject the cost for the blinds if it comes up. Anyway, I just ignored the letter and have not been offered the discount nor the option of having the blinds removed. Good to hear...

....we have a games room right downstairs. BYOB bitch about builder + foosball party? :P

I tried attaching a scan of my letter but this forum wouldn't take a simple 20kb pdf :/ Sent you a PM instead.

Just came back from my rounds with the flyer. I covered floors 9 through 12. A few units are still unoccupied, many units are actually being rented. I asked renters to pass the flyer on to their landlords. Hopefully that will bring a few more neighbours to the discussion. I got a chance to...

So I've got a few printouts of the flyer and will be covering floors 9-11

I'm on 10th. I can at least help pass some flyers out on my floor and even a few floors above or below. A link to this forum is a good idea but you linked to the first page on this epic thread. Can an admin move the blinds discussion to its own dedicated thread? This way, newcomers won't have...

Yeah, okay, just got a call from my lawyer. I'll be closing Jan 22. Sorry to jump the gun. I thought maybe I missed a mass email or something :P Congratulations to everybody! We are about to become true owners! Let the mortgage payments begin! <- why am I excited about this?

Huh? The dates have been set? How did you get notified? Did everyone get notification? I got nothing. Oh, and hello everyone. I've been lurking in this thread ever since I looked at this building in September :P
