One elevator has been down for 4 months. The other elevator has been down 4 times in the last 4 months. Pain waiting for the elevator, especially during rush hour and doing laundry. Sullivan says there is still one elevator.  I say we are paying for two elevators.

It took COGIR 8 months to fix this, after several emails from September 4, 2025, to April 9, 2026, regarding the damage from the balcony construction.

Today, we received an email from GWL stating that Corig will take over building management starting tomorrow. This is what I found on Google about Cogir. https://www.reddit.com/r/montreal/comments/18f5jnx/experiences_with_cogir/ https://www.bbb.org/ca/on/whitby/profile/rentals-by-owner/cogir-property-management-0107-1152147 https://ratethelandlord.org/landlord/COGIR%20REAL%20ESTATE https://reviews.birdeye.com/cogir-inc-164507388100045

5999 Monkland balconies are almost finished. They removed the scaffolding nearly a month ago. No work has been done since then. They just stopped work and left some apartments with unfinished railings. I haven't received any response to emails. The Community Manager has no information about when the job will be completed. This is the 3rd summer without balconies.

 On Friday, there was a solvent smell due to to the work on the balcony.  I left for the weekend and upon returning on Monday afternoon, the apartment smelled of the same solvent.  I have not been there for 3 days and it is construction holidays, so the smell has been there for at least 3 days.

 This is so miserable.

The LL promised to do  " a  deep   cleaning  of the building in the upcoming days"   due to the pest infestation.   Two weeks later this is what the laundry room, garage, and gym look like.
