Hundreds of tenants at a midtown Toronto apartment building have been without heat for a week now, and many are worried with the arrival of bitter-cold temperatures.
Speaking with CP24 on Wednesday, one of the 200 tenants living at The Fleetwood on St. Clair Avenue West said no concrete timeline had been given by the property management on when heat will return in the building.
"It's going to be brutal," he said. "There are others in the building with children and pregnant women and retirees and senior citizens that need to be evacuated to a hotel." Driver noted that Briarlane took over the building approximately more than a year ago. He said since the city got involved, management has been providing updates to tenants about the status of repairs.
Driver said the latest update from management is that parts needed for the boiler repair will arrive on Friday. Investigations into the complaints are ongoing, but the city has issued two Notices of Violation and two Property Standards Orders. Matlow said he finds it "deplorable" and "inhumane" that management did not promptly ensure that tenants had a safe and warm place to be while the issue is being fixed. He said it shouldn't have taken a city intervention to act.
