Next step?
06.17.09 (8:20 am)   [edit]

Who am I supposed to complain to who will take action?

Since I've gotten possession of my new place, trades people have gone in there at least twice without my permission while I'm not there. The developer keeps telling me "we'll talk to the trades people. They're not supposed to do that." I am ready to change the locks and take legal action if I can!!

The elevator was broken yesterday, too. I don't have a problem getting out of my building because I can take the stairs, but there is no way for me to get to my floor without the elevator. When I left a message with the developer about people entering my suite, I also asked if I could get a key temporarily that would allow me to exit the stairs. I mean what else are you supposed to do when there is only one elevator in the building. Don't tell me there is no back up plan!

And the caretaker is useless. I know he's new to the building, but is he new to being a caretaker? Who do I complain to about him? His favourite line is, "there is nothing I can do about it." Well, offer some sort of solution, you idiot! Parking spots are assigned to owners. It's up to him to designate visitor parking. There have been at least three occasions where I've gone to park in my spot and someone is there. Last time I blocked them in. When my mom complained to him about it, he told US to put up signs. I will do that, but that crap is HIS job. I've had to tell him TWICE what phone number to use for my enterphone. He is frickin disorganized because he is also trying to appease everyone by being available all hours.

Maybe it would help him to set up some office hours or something and get organised. And leave any after hours stuff to the property management company? Geez.

I can understand that things can get a little hectic and lots of surprises come out during a move in into a new building but could there not be someone who was organized and can at least think on his feet?

I am also not impressed that there was no notice of cleaners and painters working on the outside of the building. At least offer some notice in case someone inside their suite needs to close the blinds or put on clothes or something!! I don't care that there are only a few people moved in...There are people who have moved in!!!

Oh, right now there are some streets around my new place that are blocked off because there was a shooting last night. Good thing I don't need to drive around there right now.

Surprisingly, no :) If only the people working for the developers and my (yet to be formed) strata were more competent, it'd be MUCh easier.

Rosie you need to go over his head apparently because those are all serious issues, I hate the thought of someone coming into my apartment,and what if they decide to come in when you are there, change your locks.

I've put a sign on my door, which I shouldn't even have to, but at least it lets the trades people know that they can't just barge in when they want!
