I'm moving to Toronto by end of this month and looking to rent at 15 , Dundonald street . Is this a safe neighbourhood and is it convienient ...has anyone lived at this apartment ? manthonis@yahoo.com

I think it'd be a pretty fun area to live in - very central - but that building doesn't have the best reports on BedBugRegistry.com: http://bedbugregistry.com/location/ON/M4Y/Toronto/15-Dundonald-St

Yes,,,, but I think you will find most building on that report,,,, just keep a clean house

Keeping a clean house has nothing to do with bed bugs. Once they establish themselves into an apartment, condo or loft it takes a vigilant and dedicated property management team to properly instruct residents as to how to prepare their suite for treatments, seal the suite and keep the sprays happening in the affected suite(s) and surrounding suites. Period.
It's a shame that some good rental buildings with caring office staff are getting bad reputations because a couple of suites may have, or have had, bedbugs.

Or buy some of that powder that causes them to dry up and die.

Seriously, they are a problem because they crawl under doors, through cracks, through outlets. They're sneaky little buggers and no matter how clean you keep your own unit, if they're in the building, you're at risk of getting them too.

It does seem like essentially every old building in the downtown core has a report on BedBugRegistry, though. I'm not sure if they're avoidable. In 20 years, will dense condo projects like CityPlace have Bed Bug problems too?

Where is the worst place to live in the toronto? Where is the worst ghetto/slum?
