Will Councilor Howard Moscoe Step Up To The Plate On This.......

.......I doubt it. There is something seriously wrong when repairs can't be done because of a lack of funding and this part of the affordable housing scheme doesn't see to get any attention. I will fund the building part but it would seem to me that the expenses should be covered by the rents collected. Just another example of poor management.

The owner of one of Toronto's worst-maintained apartment buildings is the City of Toronto.

Since June 2005, city inspectors have made 45 demands for repairs at 1884 Davenport Rd., more work orders than they have issued to any other single building. Among problems, they've noted an insect infestation, damaged pipes and floors, leaking bathroom fixtures, and missing window screens.

The 186-unit building, near Lansdowne Ave., is one of about 360 public housing apartments run by the city-owned Toronto Community Housing Corporation. The TCHC says chronic provincial government underfunding is responsible for the decay of many of its buildings.
