A group of homeowners who purchased brand new houses in an Oakville subdivision say they thought they were upgrading their living situation, but instead have found themselves living in an active construction zone for months with no end in sight.
'Why would you want to come to this hell?' A group of excited owners moved into brand new homes in a bustling Oakville suburb. Then construction ramped up.
Nevertheless, construction has moved ahead, and he says it’s felt like an "earthquake" in his home from morning to night ever since. Neeraj Nulu moved into another house on the street with his parents about a year ago after moving out of their old home in Milton. He says they thought they were moving into nicer quarters, but it feels like their house has been “in a war zone” since.
In a statement, Mattamy Homes said it "recognizes and appreciates the frustrations that living in close proximity to an active construction site can cause," and said that relationships with existing, adjacent residents are "an important element of the process" as the company builds more homes. Director of Transportation and Engineering, Jill Stephen said the city is aware of the development and said developers are expected to comply with town bylaws.
Video taken by residents in the area shows clouds of dust wafting toward the front of the homes as construction vehicles do their work to build new houses on the street, as well as dust wafting over their yards from construction on the condo project in the back of their homes. A toilet lid in one of the homes can be seen vibrating from the construction activity, which is taking place just several feet away from the property line.
