Glen asked how the new fan coil system knows whether to give hot or cool air. It works the same as the previous system. The building management has dates when they turn on the heat for winter or AC for summer. We can then adjust the temperature for our units.

Hi Isabel,

The old thermostats, and some of the new ones, have Heat/Cool/Off selections. Ours have only Off/Auto. So the thermostat decides whether I want to heat or cool.

With the old thermostats, If I selected Cool when the heat was on, the fan would keep running, trying to cool the room, but actually making it hotter.

I assume the new thermostats with Off/Auto selection check the water temperature: if the water is hot it’s heat, if it is cold it’s cool.

Sent: December 6, 2024 1:34 PM
To: Bill Lynn
Subject: Winter Heat

Hi Bill....Again because we have never gotten instructions on how to use the new heater/thermostat it took me awhile to remember how to properly adjust them when the heat came on. I have talked to many from the building who are complaining about the heat because they haven't set it properly.

To adjust the thermostat, you have to set it the same as pictured below. The bottom button on the left is to set the unit on and off and should read Auto when on....the button on the bottom right should be set at Auto also. Keep pressing it till it says Auto. If you set it at Low, Med, or High, the heater unit fan will stay on after the heat stops and it will continue to blow cold air. When set at Auto, the unit fan will shut off when the temperature is reached and will come back on when the temperature drops.

The 2 arrow buttons on the right are for adjusting the tempuratue.

Hope this helps those who are having trouble get the heaters to work properly.

Glen

Ed Note: On our thermostat the left-hand button has only Off or Auto selections. I don't know how it decides whether I want to heat or cool, but it seems to work.

2024 Sock Drive

Last year we had a very successful campaign (over 700 pairs of socks + gloves, hats, jackets) to help the homeless. Your generosity was overwhelming.

This year, unfortunately, the need is still great. There are still many people out on the streets. The winter is fast approaching and we would like to ask you once again to help us, help the less fortunate in our community.

SOCKS FOR THE HOMELESS:
Only new, never worn socks are acceptable. All sizes. For men, women and children. New winter hats, mitts, gloves, and scarfs are also welcomed.

We will be in the lobby on Friday, Dec.13th, Saturday, Dec.14th, and Sunday, Dec.15th to happily collect your donations. More details to follow.

As like last year, we will give your donations to the Fred Victor Society who, in turn, will hand them out to people in need.

Thank you once again for your kindness.

Cc: Rafael Tablada
Subject: Metergy Solutions billing issues

Good morning Bill,

This is a quick follow up regarding the Metergy billing issues we've been experiencing and you may wish to share this information with other tenants.

With Rafael's help, I finally received an explanation for the billing delays which appear to have resulted from the maintenance work that Metergy conducted in the building back in August.

The issue was explained as follows:

All of our meters are tested prior to installation to ensure they meet or exceed the accuracy standards set out by Measurement Canada. As part of our meter maintenance program, we are required by Measurement Canada to replace meters that have been in the field after a certain amount of time and re-test them to ensure that Measurement Canada’s accuracy standards are still being met.

During this process, your service was put on hold while we completed the required work in the field and in our billing system. This letter is to inform you that you should be expecting in the next coming weeks your bills for your metered services dating back to your last invoice received. Moving forward, you can expect to receive your regular bill monthly.

Again, I want to thank Rafael for helping us out with the matter.

Subject: Metergy missing billing

Hi Bill,

Regarding the missing billing from Metergy - I was also missing one statement which was for August 2024. When I logged in to Metergy, there was no August statement showing, and my balance was zero.

However when I received the statement for September, it had 2 months worth of charges, covering both August and September. When I logged in to Metergy again, both statements were available on their website.

October was billed normally. I just figured that the missing August statement was some kind of accounting glitch, and they have now caught up.

I feel pretty sure that the Home Depot sign used to be at the top of the building to the north of the parking lot on Concorde Gate.
Now the sign is on the taller of the two buildings this side of Concorde Gate. Is my memory playing tricks, or does this suggest that demolition of the building to the north is in the works?

Good Morning Bill.

Is anyone having issues with Metergy Solutions? We live in unit 704 and haven't seen any billing since August.

When checking my account online it shows a zero balance and no billing history since August. A phone call to their customer care line has not resolved the issue. I'm concerned we're going to get hit with a massive bill down the line and late charges as well.

We did bring it to Paul and Lisa's attention, but they advise they aren't responsible...the meters are under Metergy's control. If this is a problem for many tenants, you would hope our Property Management team could reach out to Metergy to help resolve this.

Please share this on the newsletter, some tenants who have set up auto payment may not even be aware there's an issue.

Thanks

Hi Bill,

I contacted M & R about the length of time it took to get a rent statement and the time left to pay the arrears. They are aware it has taken them a long time to get back to us, and Deb McLeod told me that they are fine with making payment accommodations for anyone who needs more time. They were expecting that.

Just call her and tell her how much time you need to pay in installments or pay in full. It will save you from having a heart attack over this.

And check that the rent you've paid as per the statement each year is accurate. They have bumped up 1 month's rent amount to bring your "last month rent" up to your current rent in case you are wondering about a larger amount listed.

And about Matt's eviction comment, even if you move out you still owe the back rent, so why go to the expense of moving? Rents are higher everywhere else in buildings that are not even well maintained.

I'm in the same boat you are.

Interesting, I would love to sit down with Matt so he can hopefully explain because I’m flabbergasted. You need a CPA to sort this out.

I don’t owe because I paid the jacked up rent. I am still waiting to hear how much I will be refunded. As my husband says they will find a way to absorb what I am owed.

I’m interestingly awaiting since folks who owe know how much they owe, I’m not sure if their repayment is payment in full or if they have been given terms of repayment.

And don’t they still have issues for 2023/2024 above AGI that are outstanding? As I said, I’m confused and still waiting.

Subject: Incompetence or an Eviction by Economics?

I submit this for posting to the Wynford Tower Residents' Association website:
----------------------------------
Incompetence or an Eviction by Economics?

So, our Landlord finally bothered to getting around to figuring out how much we each owe them - based upon the negotiated settlement for our Parking Garage's Above Guideline Increase (originally filed in early 2021). This concluded our Landlord and Tenant Board's Case Management Hearing (Virtual via Zoom) back in mid-April of this year (2024).

Part of the negotiated settlement was to extend the timeframe for repayment to 6 months for any arrears caused by the AGI. The standard timeframe the LTB places for payment on an AGI is only a month: so this 6-month timeframe was an important component of our negotiated settlement. Importantly, it also would have ensured than anyone not at the CMH would have had advance notice of a substantial bill (for context: my bill is around $3,000) and thereby an opportunity to start saving towards it.

It should be noted that this is not normal historically. The LTB became a complete failure - with multi-year long delays - during the pandemic. Previously, hearings were done within reasonable timeframes so you wouldn't have 3 years of accumulations before being told what you owed.

At the hearing we specifically asked M&R about how long it would take to get our individualized statement of accounts: detailing what we owed. We were explicitly told that once this negotiated Order was finalized (when the LTB mailed it out, thus making it official) it would be about 2 weeks.

The Order was finalized in late May. We received it in late May. It did not take M&R a couple weeks to figure out our statement of accounts - it has taken them nearly 4 months! That is 8 times longer than what we were told (notices of what we owe from M&R originated mid-Sept 2024).

This is completely unacceptable! M&R is a large, sophisticated, corporate landlord with both the means and resources available to prepare these sorts of notices in a timely fashion... as we were told at the CMH they could do in about 2 weeks.

They did not do what they said they would do for over 3 months. This is either complete incompetence or operating in bad faith! Allowing arrears to silently accumulate to the point of economic hardship - or impossibility - to repay within a limited timeframe: is something that should be found in a Dickensian novel, not in an application to the LTB as grounds for eviction.

Allow me to be clear and unequivocal: the 6 months timeframe - that we negotiated in good faith - to clear any arrears caused by this Parking Garage AGI should begin from the time they CHOSE to send out these notices detailing what we owe!!!

There is only one rational response to this: it's time to organize! I'll be going door to door starting Sept 24th to organize some meetings. Just so everyone knows: I'm pissed, I'm militant... and - more importantly - I have some ideas!

From the Strength of Solidarity,

Subject: Esso gas station at Wynford Drive & Don Mills

Hi Bill,

In case anyone else was wondering what's happened to the Esso station at the corner of Wynford Drive and Don Mills Rd, I called the office of City Councillor Jon Burnside (Don Mills East) to find out.

I thought that maybe the gas station was being renovated, or the land would be used for another condo project.

It turns out that the Esso station land was sold to Metrolinx in case it would be needed for the new Ontario subway line which will run from downtown up to the Science Centre (at Eglinton & Don Mills). So now our neighbourhood does not have a gas station or car wash nearby.

We will have to use one up at Lawrence, or down near Flemingdon Park, Overlea Blvd or Millwood. There does not seem to be any plan to replace this gas station even with all the huge condo buildings going up in the area!

I don't recall any public consultation on the removal of this gas station. I guess the city really doesn't care what the local car owners think.

I am of the mind that if you can’t do the job properly, don’t bother doing the job at all.

I’ve been wrestling with our windows to clean the accessible ones before putting back my cleaned screens post window washing.

I have to say this year, I have been left with windows that have streaks and dirt along every edge of every window . I cannot clean this. The ledges were also not wiped off.

I would like to know why a crew of window cleaners with proper equipment were hired to properly clean all the first floor windows and ledges (I watched them) , while the rest of the units had some poor soul hanging by a rope with a squeegee?

So tired of shoddy work. The windows are of such poor quality, the tape surrounding the edges made mine very challenging to remove and replace.

Did anyone get nice cleans windows? Lucky you!

Re: Strangers getting into the building

Several times over the past few months I've had my doorbell rung by men claiming to be delivering packages from Amazon and Canada Post. A couple of times I got fooled and buzzed them in because I was expecting a package. I later realized these were fakes just trying to get into the building. I went online to check the package delivery due date, which was a different date.

To prevent this from happening, if someone rings your doorbell with a "delivery", ask them "What apartment number if your delivery for?". They will not know your apartment number unless they have a real package. Don't buzz in anyone you do not know and make sure it is you they are coming to see.

This should prevent some of these strangers from getting into the building.

Thank you for posting about M&R denying residents of 35 access to the pool at 45 while ours is under repairs.

Very frustrating that M&R is doing absolutely nothing to make up for this untimely closure due to their own poor maintenance. And they provide no explanation as to why this simple is being denied when time and time again residents of 45 have been given access to our amenities at 35 and the pool at 45 doesn't seem to be used much (if at all) lately.

It would seem a tenant who is directly facing my 08 unit at the east end side of the building has replaced their red and green strobe Christmas lighting with white flickering /pulsing white twinkle lighting.

These lights are left on all night on the balcony. Another unit directly below at 55 has now just added a string of blinking lights to add to the light disturbance.

Blinking lights create a huge visual problem for me and these are in the the sight lines of my living and diningroom.

Does anyone have a contact with a tenants’ federation? Acorn? City official? I’m not sure if I have any legal rights in this matter short of installing blackout blinds and keeping them closed when it’s dusk/dark out which I really do not want to do. I like being able to see out my windows.

Minimal communication exists in our building.

Heat…I realized the heat was off early in May because I was freezing and turned on the heat only to realize it was air not heat coming from the unit……no communication to say the heat was turned off.

Would have been nice to have received notice that the heat was shutdown for about two weeks to allow transition from heat to a/c and that heaters were available (or to give tenants the option to buy their own heaters for temporary use and comfort) during the two week period. I imagine tenants especially on the upper floors were probably even colder.
Ed note: Anna Peschmann advised that the heat was off in her article on the website May 14, 2024. This does not escuse management from failing to post a notice.

The reverse happened mid May. I was suffocating so I checked only to see the a/c was on……no communication to say the a/c was turned on…..

Would have been nice to have received notice that the a/c was on.

When there was the storm last Thursday the thermostats were in the off position and had to be manually turned on……

No way communication could be issued about that so that is probably acceptable.

Simply, we as renters need to be advised about things that may affect our health freezing cold or suffocating heat could cause health risks to the susceptible.

Posted notices in the elevator or hallways would be appreciated. Slip in notices in doors would be better considering there are some seniors who do not go out daily. Maybe communication on the speakers could be an option. Bottom line we need building management communicating issues that affect our daily lives as/when they occur.

Wynford Tower is my home and needs to be more considerate of us (tenants). Just as tenants need to be considerate of Wynford Towers by not littering, throwing cig butts and garbage etc from their balconies, or leaving their pet mess around, helping to keep the building (our home) clean and in good repair.

They took note of my concern and sent to me a record of my call. It indicates that they would check it out within an 8 week window and action, if needed, will take place after several months. Unfortunately it was not tagged as urgent.

If my fellow #35 neighbours feel it wise to do so I would encourage you to register your own concern to the City by calling 311.

Thanks for posting this.

Dear Neighbors,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a deeply concerning situation that has arisen within our residence.

On Wednesday morning, during the early hours, an individual was found asleep in the lobby. This incident is not an isolated one; there have been previous instances of the same individual lingering in the lobby, seemingly waiting for someone's arrival.

Upon reviewing the security camera footage from my door today, I noticed that this individual was still present around the building last night approximately 3:30 AM. This leads me to suspect that he may be sleeping within the building itself.

In light of these events, I urge everyone to exercise increased vigilance and caution, especially during nighttime and early morning hours.

Please find attached the pictures and video for your reference.

Stay safe,

Yesterday morning when I went to work there was a man sitting in the lobby with his eyes closed. I just assumed he was waiting for someone and closed his eyes. He didn’t look homeless. Today he was laying down on the couch. See attached picture. I now think he’s homeless and he’s getting into our building to sleep. I’m worried for the residents.

What a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing. I am so glad I was born in the 40's, reason being that although it may have been archaic in the ways we did things our upbringing taught us to be creative, to problem solve without relying on an object to do these things for us. The world of the 20's although easier when you understand these mechanisms that we now use are still very challenging for me. Oh well I will just try and get used to the 20th century technology that is now in place and apply myself as I go along. Could not make it last Friday as I had to do a good deed for someone who is a shut in. Hopefully this coming week I will not have a emergency to attend to. Missed the get together.

I did look at Elizabeth Grants page on TSC. She surely displayed a lot of beautiful things. I have ordered her tote with the samples inside looking forward to getting that and trying them out.

Hope you have a lovely weekend and god bless.

Subject: News

I want to send this reminder and an appreciation to Bill Lynn, who has provided the residents of 35 Wynford Tower with a forum to engage in conversation amongst tenants – a place to use your voice to ask questions, voice concerns, sell things, bring common matters to the attention of all of us. Rumour has it, Bill even pays for this site out of his pocket in the spirit of cultivating conversation.

Sadly, this useful, helpful vehicle seems under-utilized despite his efforts. Let’s USE IT and pitch in with topics that may be of interest to all of us.

I will contribute this to see if it strikes any chord.

At some point in time, the PowersThatBe removed the Wrong Way/One-Way Street sign at the exit of our driveway. Well…there was a sign to protect people from entering the building from the narrow exit - which is just wide enough for one vehicle. The sign has always been there - until recently.

As luck would have it, I have witnessed many a car and even trucks entering from the wrong side, only to ‘meet’ other cars already parked or waiting in the curved part of the driveway. Just the other day, one of those half-sized yellow school buses came through in the wrong direction, meeting people coming in. I also encountered one of the legit outdoor lot tenants who informed me that this previous One-Way status "has changed".

I have noticed countless cars and trucks using this One Way The Wrong Way entrance, given the fact that the main entrance is often a scrum of parked cars, trucks, food delivery drivers who routinely clog up the entrance where the road curves. Many even leave their cars and/or trucks there, flashers on, while they deliver their parcels or seek out their passengers. Living on the second floor facing the front, honking horns are a regular benefit of this 4-wheeled roadway. Bonus.

Without proper signage, however (the One Way Arrow is still posted above the back wall of the garage entrance) and the speed with which these folks sometimes drive….there’s going to be an accident. And even though we live in the 'Home Of We’re Not Responsible’, the building would be responsible.

Let's hope they can correct this scenario before somebody gets hurt.

To All our Wynford Towers neighbours:

As you all know, thanks to your generosity the “sock” drive was a huge success. Over 700 socks were collected and through the Fred Victor Society they were distributed to the homeless.

We are reaching out to you once again with a proposal to help the women’s shelters in Toronto. This time, it’s a “purse drive”. We all have purses in our cupboards that have gone unused for a long time. Rather than throwing them out, we are suggesting that you fill them up with toiletries, e.g. toothpaste, toothbrushes, combs & brushes, creams, soaps, shampoos, etc. Anything you think that might help a woman in these shelters to get her self-esteem back. For those of you (gentlemen) that do not have a purse, one can be provided to you. Our target date/s are April 14th and April 15th. This time we will be working with the Salvation Army to distribute the purses.

The purses don’t have to be new; but, the products should be unused. Samples from drugstores, dentists, salons would be greatly appreciated. More information to follow.

Kindest regards,
Annie P., Carole W., Sheila S.

One of the only reasons I chose to live in this building, rather than any of the other ones in the Wynford area is due to the indoor pool. It is very important to me and most other residents. It would be quite upsetting to have it replaced with anything else.

I would also like to note that the gym in the building is not really a usable, functional gym. Please just keep that in your regard. So the pool is really the only amenity.

Good Afternoon Bill

As many of you will know, I am pro pool and look forward to seeing it reopen, when is still up in the air, but with a strong support from all of the residents, it will.

After reading the other comments, I would like to mention that we will most likely never get a ramp put in where one set of steps are. City by-laws dictate that the ramp has to be a certain pitch and having dealt with 2 ramps at our church, I can tell you that there isn’t enough room for it there. Maybe opening the side door for wheelchairs or walkers might be an option but I’m sure that won’t happen either….these are great ideas and they should be sent in even though some won’t happen. That way M & R will know that we are concerned about our building and health.

The social room is opened again and the Kaffee Klatsch (Coffee Time) has resumed at 10 till noon on Friday mornings and I’m still trying to set up a Computer/Phone workshop there but still no word on Wifi which will need to be available for the hour. Annie and Sheila are working on getting it for us and I thank them for their hard work doing that.

Thanks Bill for keeping everyone in the building well informed about all of this.

To Whom it may concern,

Thank you for considering the tenents who will be affected by the pool closure. It is comforting to know you care about our concerns.

After selling my previous house and hunting for a rental property I chose Wynford Tower exclusively because of the pool and central air conditioning . I have used the pool religiously when I swam laps with great benefit to my health until I had a shoulder injury. That was a game changer for me , just when I was ready to get back into my routine covid started and put the Kabash on that. Now in my mid 50’s I need to get back to my routine and we now face its demise. My son with a disability has finely been able to return to Holland Bloorview rehabilitation hospital for swimming lessons after all these years during Covid and this is one of the few if only activities we can get him to do that he enjoys, and is one of the few activities as middle-age parents, we can participate with him in.

I have lived here for 15 yrs, used it in every state it was in ( freezing cold, not so clean and the improper use of chlorine) Gratefully. Today, the majority of tenants are still mostly over 50 yrs old and require forms of exercise that are easy on the joints and lower impact, myself include. We also have more families with children who find this a perfect amenity for their children and it gets them off of their electronics.

This gym is a joke however I used it in the past , while it was often dirty, with broken used equipment and poor to zero air circulation and really was just subpar on every level. I can’t think of any other type of amenity which could replace the pool that realistically would fit the tenants who actually live here presently not the possibility of the type of tenants who may live here in the future.

Investing in the pool and keeping it running and looked after properly is not only in the best interest of the current tenants but the building because it is a feature which evidentially brought them to your office applying to live here. It definitely was for me and my family. Please consider the worth and long term value.

Having a pool and investing in it for the tenants who are renting from M & R Properties.

Thank you,

Hello,

First, thank you for requesting tenant input on the pool. It's greatly appreciated.

Second, I am a regular user of the pool and think it should remain as a pool. It's one of the main reasons I live here.

Third, during the required repairs it would be a great time to make it more accessible by converting one of the set of stairs to the pool deck into a ramp.

Fourth, I believe the pool is one of the most inclusive uses for the space. Much more so than racquet and/or ball sports.
