The snow has melted, but the broken lampposts continue to lie abandonned on the ground. We must conclude that either no one is checking the condition of the grounds, or there are no instructions to pick up broken things, let alone repair them.

The non-slip mats placed on the outdoor stairs are not secured in place and slide easily. Some of them are already not on the stairs. This is especially dangerous as a pedestrian may enter the stairs without realizing that the mat could possibly slip under their feet, leading to a fall from the top of the stairs!

22 December 2023: the mats were removed from the stairs over the gym, but remain in the stairs to the bus and are not pinned down.

There seems to be a divergence in the responses obtained by tenants regarding the works next summer. While the Property Manager indicated to CLR that it would be Building C in 2024, others were told Building B.

However, no formal date has been provided.

Tenants have the right to know at least 3 months in advance in case of major works lasting more than a week, in order to make alternative arrangements during this period when it will be impossible for them to live at home due to noise and dust.

Problematic outdoor parking: few spaces reserved for visitors - non-compliance with handicap spaces - No space for ambulances or fire trucks.

The Property Manager says that more rigorous monitoring is now in place, several fines have been issued, and will continue to be issued.

There is a lack of lighting in the outdoor courtyard along paths used to travel from the bus stop to the building, especially along the ramp for people with reduced mobility.

In addition to being a risk of tripping or slipping, it is a place that does not inspire confidence for people who have to return late.

The Collective

Affected by the deterioration of the Rockhill Apartments in Montreal, some tenants began meeting in July 2023 to consider ways to address the situation.

From these meetings emerged the Rockhill Tenants Collective, a spontaneous group dedicated to upholding the rights of residents and the heritage value of this once upscale and avant-garde complex.
