A rental building in Toronto has left its residents with no heating since the beginning of March, and there's currently no end it sight., the building's management company. It stated that the building would be without heat due to an HVAC upgrade, but nearly three weeks later, tenants are still shivering.
"At the moment, there are a significant amount of people in the building getting sick because of the lack of heat and the situation is impacting their mental health," 16 St. John Street resident, Mara Ravins, tells blogTO.Ravins, who has lived in the building since 2000 and who takes great pride in the maintenance of her own unit, says that management has offered a few bandaid solutions to the problem, but nothing concrete that helps.
For those who have been running space heaters, though, Akelius is offering to subsidize their heightened Hydro costs, offering a sliding scale of $100 to $150 depending on the size and style of the unit. At the heart of residents' concern is the ambiguity of when the problem will be resolved, having been given no indication from either Akelius nor Toronto Hydro when the residence will have heat again.
