Rockhill Tenants Collective

Residents of the Rockhill apartments in Montreal

The car wash station in the garage is unusable and dangerous

Severity:
Important - greatly affects quality of life
Status:
Unresolved - the problem remains ongoing
Problem Description:

The car wash station is incorrectly set up. There is a tool to create a pressurized water jet that is not connected to water. A old rubber hose without a nozzle must be used for watering. However, this hose is only connected to hot water because despite the presence of a tap for cold water, the connection is incorrectly made, and only boiling hot water comes out. A tenant reported getting burned.

Problem impact:

Tenants can easily get burned when trying to use the hose. Since the garage is very dusty, this deficiency affects many owners of vehicles parked in the garage.

Risks:
  • Burns
  • Nuisance for owners of cars parked in the garage dust.
Resolution Criteria:

No risk of burning while washing

Effective tools to clean very dirty cars

Proposals:
  • Fix the taps so it's possible to get a mix of cold and hot water
  • Fix the water gun or at least get an estimate by the next meeting in February
Follow-ups

The cold water now works. However there is still only the hose without a nozzle to wash.

Next meeting

Monday 9th of September 2024 at 7 PM

In the hall of building C

(next to the stores)

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.
