Chicago (MCC, Daniels, 36s, Kirkor)
less than a year and all the renters are turning this building into garbage. bbq lighters and knobs missing, the 4th and 13th floor elevator buttons scratched off, interior elevator doors with scratch graffiti, white trash families sitting in the hot-tub FULLY CLOTHED, weed odour in the hallways, incidents of thievery in the gym, and all of brampton moving in. WTF? just cruising the underground parking lot you can tell this place is more of a hostel full of people who can't afford to own their own home. what a waste and this is my experience as a VISITOR!

This isn't unique to MCC. I hear the same thing re: CityPlace.
If you don't like it, buy in Yorkville! lol
Can't say I'm experiencing any of that in CityPlace, thank god! Sounds like the condo board/building management isn't very effective.
I was about to say the same thing.
If there are issues, you should address them all to the Developer/Property Management Co/Board. Is there not anyone from Customer Care (Daniels) on the property to address issues? This type of behaviour is completely unacceptable. For those living in Chicago, who is your property management company? Your complaints should be voiced and the Daniels/Property management company should be taking care of ALL these issues that have been mentioned. If they are not doing so, it's time to let them go and find another property management company.
I live in X condo and we have had our share of issues. Pool cues went missing from the games room. Glass was broken there as well. There have been incidents of individuals throwing items off the balconies. There WERE issues and still ARE some minor issues, but Great Gulf did not play around. Great Gulf/The board enacted rules that are now being strictly enforced. Individuals must sign in at the concierge and get their own personal fob key (in the past, everyone could access the amenities with their home owner fob key) to use the amenities, including the pool. More cameras are being installed in the condo. Great Gulf also replaced the previous property management company. Unfortunately, you will not be able to resolve all the issues, but please do voice your concerns.
As for the chiller (AC) and hot water issues. That is pretty common in most new condos. We've had our share of AC chiller and hot water issues here at X.
I am a renter and I am very considerate of my neighbours. I keep my unit in prestine condition and respect the fact that it is not my unit. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for everyone. Some people simply just do not give a f*ck. And that's the World we live in. Again, do not take this in stride. Tuscani said it best, your property management company and/or board is not being effective. And if they are not, get rid of them!

Chicago is managed by Larlyn Property Management. I actually have addressed some issues with them, which were met with lip service and no action. I do believe there are power in numbers however, so I do hope that I'm not the only one bringing issues to their attention. They actually sent out a newsletter not long ago saying that they were considering placing additional cameras in the building. It's a start.
However I feel that they have gone backward in some ways as well. For example you no longer need a fob of any kind to get into the guest area of the garage - anyone can just drive on in. Also, parking (above and below ground) is often abused here with residents parking their extra vehicles (or only vehicles!) in visitor/retail spaces. There's no enforcement in any way.
