The balconies at Spadina Towers have received little if any inspection or attention following many and repeated requests from residents over the past several years. (Click on image for closer view)
The exterior facing above the front windows on a number of units is severely weathered to the extent that they require replacement of this material or a varied level of repair. Neglect of this repair and maintenance has in turn resulted in damage to windows which of course must then be replaced, at the expense of all unit owners. All units require painting of the facing above the windows. Certainly, all units require annual inspections of this adjacent common area along with whatever annual maintenance is required. Ongoing deferral of maintenance in this common area is simply not acceptable.
The side walls on a number of balconies desparately require painting. The stains on these walls are very unsightly when viewed from the balcony, inside the condo and from the street as well. This is with no question a very serious detriment to not only the personal enjoyment of the individual owner and his property, but is of grave concern to all residents as it relates to the negative impact on the value of their property.
Residents can no longer be expected to wait for action.This matter is obviously one of urgency and requires immediate attention. The board is hereby requested to provide an immediate confirmation that all appropriate maintenance and repair will be conducted within this summer season.
