Entering their fourth week without air conditioning in their downtown Toronto condo, residents say stifling indoor temperatures have become “unbearable.”
After moving to Canada in 2021, Andalib Ahmed and her husband bought their first home together last July – a 1.5 bedroom at The LakeShore, a new property at Bathurst Street and Lake Shore Boulevard West, near Toronto’s waterfront.
The couple was looking forward to their first summer as homeowners, but on June 6, the air conditioning stopped working – and not just in their unit, but in each of the more than 500 units housed in the 42-storey apartment building.
“I don't even know how we are living in this condo,” Ahmed told CTV News Toronto.
While residents assumed the repairs would be completed in a timely manner, it’s now been nearly a month since the breakdown and no progress has been made.
The condo’s board of directors would not provide CTV News Toronto with a timeline for when the repairs will be completed.
The board said that parts have not yet arrived for an interim solution in the absence of full repairs. The building manager said they could not provide specifics in order to protect the condo’s property value.
