Maybe it has something to do with the upcoming Red Bull Air Race?

Re: Powerhouse Arts District: artists win affordable units case - each valued at more than $400,000

Purely to answer jennymayla's question:

All that mattered to me when I moved into the PAD was it was the same rent as I was paying to live in Manhattan, but with 2.5X the space, and the same amount of time communting to work. I didn't care about high-rises, and honestly, didn't even know it was an arts district when I moved in. I thought it was a good deal, and they claimed to be finishing renovating the space when I saw it. I would have been the first person to live in that apartment.

Having to deal with unruly neighbors and their weekly parties, guests and their dogs relieving themselves in my hallway, intermittent electricity flashes that fried a computer, a leaky skylight that tracked water into my walls and fire alarms so high that nobody had a ladder high enough to reach, I happily moved out less than two years later.

So YOU'RE the reason they're always out of lychee whenever I go....


Honestly though, Torico's is the only place I've been to(besides the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory) that has good lychee ice cream. And considering Torico's is walking distance from my place, I'll go there.

If the're out of lychee again when I get there, UrbanRenewal, I'm coming after you!!!!!

I think BigDrum moved into the 140 Bay Street building, right behind where Dash Interiors used to be. The entrance to BigDrum is on the corner of First and (I think) Provost.

Thanks to all who offered advice. It turns out the "powers-that-be" were actually fairly agreeable. Apparently all I had to do was ask, and the office and I now have a verbal agreement. Once I get it in writing, it will be signed, I'll move out, and the new tenant will move in.


Maybe I was all worked-up over something I shouldn't have been worked up about. Anyway, thanks to everyone who commented.

Actually, I've been trying to solve this via other resolutions, but the issues this building has seem to persist unfixed. I do not feel I should be forced to align my furniture in a specific manner just because of the leaking ceiling.

All of my complaints I listed earlier happened over a series of months. Constant complaints have proven futile, attempts at fixing the problem have proven just as futile, and I KNOW the apartments that I lived in aren't the only with issues. Eventually they offered to change apartments. I accepted their offer some months ago (some of the apartments on this floor do not have issues, and I guess I was just optimistic), but the new apartment has many of the same issues as the old apartment. I was willing to deal with lots of ****, but their entering my place without my permission was the last straw.

Ending a Lease early

I was wondering how easy it might be to end a lease a few months before it was scheduled to end. I rent on the top floor of a renovated building in the Powerhouse District, and have been for a little less than two years, the length of my lease. These are a selection of the problems that I've encountered:

- The first rainstorm, water leaked in from my skylight.
- Water from a possible separate leak has run behind the walls to stain my walls in my living and dining areas.
- Water has puckered the drywall in my entrance and bedroom.
- Water stains that run the entire height of my bathroom along a drywall seam.
- Dripping leaks in my sleeping area(enough to measurably bubble the paint), along with associated stains in the drywall.
- Arcing electricity flicker the lights. In fact, on more than one occasion a lamp that was "off" flickered alight due to the arcing.
- Other electricity problems have caused the smoke alarms to intermittently beep. Cutting the circuit breaker did not solve the problem. The beeping got so frequent one night that I was forced to spend the night in a hotel. These problems returned the following winter.
- Repairmen have entered my apartment without my verbal or written consent to fix (what I consider) a non-emergency situation.

I took the opportunity to change to a different apartment on the same floor. I changed apartments halfway through the lease. However, many of these problems have followed me to the new apartment. I have taken pictures of each of the above situations, save for the arcing electricity. The water issues are claimed to have been fixed. I have seen workers re-paint and re-plaster certain affected areas. However, I have not seen the leaks themselves be fixed and water has re-entered the apartment via the walls. Often, I will see evidence of water damage days after an actual rain. I still fear breathing in mold and mildew, and for that reason, would like to end my lease early. Can I claim that they have not held up their end of the agreement? If not, what can I claim?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
