Insects, cockroaches, and ants are present in many places.

According to the Property Manager, there has been a change in the maintenance of waste chutes; high-pressure washing is now regularly performed to prevent the proliferation of harmful insects. Complete eradication is impossible, he says, but controlling the infestation is, and that's why exterminators regularly come for preventive treatments. He will ask the exterminators to provide them with an informational document to send to all tenants in the form of a memo, explaining that it is best to avoid doing our own extermination treatments as it only exacerbates the insect proliferation.

Unexpected work suddenly on the balcony of a tenant:

"Unexpected visit from the Property Manager, a plumber, and a contractor to assess necessary repairs on my balcony due to a water leak in the apartment below. No information is provided about the nature or exact date of these repairs. During the week of October 23, noisy work is carried out on the adjacent balcony with a suffocating toxic odor - no prior notice was given. On October 31, at 7:00 am, a contractor is on my balcony, and I am asked to remove my balcony furniture. Jackhammers start at 8:00 am without any prior notification. The coordinator calls me at 8:40 am to inform me about the work (!) and falsely claims to have notified me in advance. Suppliers (concrete) have mentioned that it's always like this, people are always surprised and frustrated to see them arrive, and they continue to ask the administration to notify tenants in advance, which it does not do."

The Property Manager takes full responsibility, admits to failing to inform us about this urgent and major repair. Acknowledges that he was wrong in this lapse and apologizes. He had not considered the noise nuisance that these works would entail.

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.
