Rockhill Tenants Collective

Residents of the Rockhill apartments in Montreal

First snow - first disappointments!

07 December 2023

Following the meeting where we discussed the poorly done snow removal work, we were hopeful that the guidelines established by the Property Manager would result in a better quality of work this winter. However, several aspects of the snow removal work are once again unacceptable, leading to significant disappointment among tenants:

  • The day after the first snowfall, the pathways to the common areas are not cleared of snow;
  • A large tractor hastily clears the snow, limiting itself to the large spaces that are accessible to it.
  • Even these areas are poorly cleared – slippery, cluttered, and dangerous.
  • On its FIRST day of service, this large tractor has already destroyed and damaged new lampposts.

Now, barely 2 weeks ago, we raised the issue of snow removal and specifically discussed this contractor with our property manager; you can read the report here.

TRACTOR TOO LARGE FOR THE INNER COURTYARD (damages landscaping and lampposts, small pedestrian pathways not cleared)

NEW LAMPPOST BREAKAGES (and non-compliance with signage: buried signage)


The negligent use of ill-suited equipment or lack of training results in damages that will be reflected in rent increases! And the time it will take to wait for repairs, the appearance of Rockhill suffers.

This lamppost is barely standing, and a portion of the sidewalk is broken.

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.
