    Pros: Great location on the harbor and across from a fantastic grocery store and Scotiabank Arena. You can literally take the path to shopping and food, to Union station or the harbor without ever going outside. View of the lake was breathtaking. Cons: Tons of airbandb condos which means loud, weed smoke everywhere. Fire alarm went off at 3/4 am three night in a row. Water was literally turned OFF three days in a row. The 4th day there was no hot water.

    Final Text from Kalani at 12 York Street Condos, Toronto, Ont.

    12 York Street Condo Booked this Non-Refundable Unit on Jan 7th, 2023 through Booking.com with a Special Request made at time of booking to confirm a 1am arrival time at the Condo as my International Flight Arrival into TO is 11:59 pm Sunday Evening Jan 22nd, 2023. Booking Confirmation states that I would recieve a notification within 24 hours. I received no response so sent another request on Jan. 15th 2023 to confirm 1am check-in and received an "OK". So, I requested my check-in instructions on Jan 18th, 2023 and was told I would receive them Friday, Jan 20th. I followed up again after no response on the Friday evening (11pm). On Saturday Jan 21st, I received a message at 9am from Kalani requesting my check-in time, which I sent for the 3rd time. The response was "send a message" when you're leaving the airport at 1am and we'll arrange to meet you at the condo and show you around. I have read horror stories of this type of meet-up where people arrive waiting for hours or can't get ahold of anyone to checkin, so I advised that's not ideal as I work at 7am and just want to check-in, grab my key and go to sleep as I would have been travelling all day. Kalani's first concern was about bad reviews, then called me a liar because I advised I requested the late check-in upon booking and told me they were doing me a favor by showing up to let me in at 1am. I told Kalani if that wasnt acceptable they should have advised me within the 24 hours so I could book something else instead. They did not charge my credit card but here I am the day before arrival looking for new accomodations. Pictures of Booking & Text Messages

    From the outside looking in, this condo seems perfect. Ideal location - wedged between the Air Canada Centre and Rogers Centre, excellent views, it's a new building with updated finishes, and walking distance to much of downtown. An added bonus is it's close proximity to Union Station which provides lots of public means of transportation. This all sounds wonderful right? But what viewers need to know is that this building brings nothing but problems. There has been a fire, a major flood, and elevators are constantly out of service for WEEKS. Yes weeks, not days (which is insane as there are 50+ floors)! The Ice Condos consist of incompetent security, inconsistent rules and unhelpful building management. As a tenant here I have talked with MANY individuals in the building who complain about the same issues as I. Many who live here want to move out and those that you see in the hallway are most likely AirBnB-ers. My own security once made me call a locksmith and pay $200 when I couldn't find my key even though I told them I had spares inside. I live alone, have my name on the lease and provided photo ID. Instead of helping me out, even after explaining that my dog was inside, they told me to call a locksmith. He arrives two hours later... After simply unlocking the door, I had to hand over $200. Simply insane - what a waste of both of our time! What kind of building management is this? This building is a joke - TENANTS BEWARE!!!!

    The rooms are nice but very small with a wonderful balcony. But, the elevators are always out of service and very busy.

    Terrible Experience at The Selby - A Building That's Fallen Apart Due to Management…read more As a long-time tenant at The Selby, I am beyond frustrated with the current state of this building. It has been a nightmare living here for the past several months, and it's clear that the management is more focused on bringing in new tenants than actually maintaining the building and taking care of the people who are already living here. Let's start with the elevators--absolutely unacceptable for a 51-storey building. They've been consistently out of service, with sometimes only one functioning elevator for the entire building. Tenants and delivery individuals are regularly getting stuck for up to an hour. One of the most disturbing incidents occurred when my partner was trapped in an elevator that malfunctioned, causing the cable to break. He free-fell six floors before the emergency brakes finally kicked in--thankfully, they did, or this could have been a much worse outcome. When firefighters arrived to rescue him, they pulled the broken cable off the top of the elevator car when getting him out. This is not just an inconvenience, it's a serious safety hazard that should never have been allowed to happen. To make matters worse, multiple tenants have been experiencing ongoing hot water issues for months. The hot water has been on and off, and it's become a consistent problem. It's utterly ridiculous to have to deal with cold showers or unpredictably hot water, especially when you're paying premium rent for a "luxury" building. It's another example of the management's blatant disregard for basic living conditions. Flooding, with both boiling hot and freezing cold water, has also been a major problem, with consistent incidents forcing tenants out of their homes. This isn't just a minor inconvenience--it's a serious problem that clearly shows the building's maintenance is being neglected. On top of that, amenities are frequently closed without notice, making us feel like we're paying for services we can't even use. Incredibly, during all of this turmoil--including the elevator issue--management has been attempting to show the building to potential future tenants. This is not only tone-deaf, but it shows that they're more concerned with bringing in new people than taking care of the current residents who are suffering through these constant disruptions. It can, at times, take up to 30 minutes or more to go down or up the elevator back to our unit. Not only is this difficult for us as humans, but its even worse for those of us with pets. To top it all off, management's communication is a complete disaster. There's zero transparency, and important updates are either delayed or entirely omitted. It's like they don't care about the people who are already living here. The building's cleanliness has also deteriorated significantly since the changes made in the new year, which only adds to the growing list of complaints. I honestly don't know how this place still has tenants. The Selby management clearly has no regard for its current residents. Instead of focusing on trying to attract new people, maybe it's time they start doing their job and take care of the ones who are already here with signed leases. We deserve better. That being said, I must acknowledge the concierge team--they truly do their best with what they are given and are always professional and helpful despite the challenges. However, it's clear this issue falls on upper management, who continue to neglect their responsibility to the tenants who make up this community. The amazing concierge staff can only do so much with the limited resources they have--this is an upper management issue, and it's time they take full responsibility.

    This place looks lovely on the outside, but take a few minutes and see if you can ask a tenant who…read moreactually lives there what they think. The company that owns the Selby, Tricon, which he owned by some other American company, has managed to skirt the rent control laws that apply to almost every other building in the city. They will tell you that their increases are normal, or maybe slightly above because of the building's facade, but make no mistake, their rent increases go well above the 2% maximum that the law mandates for most other buildings in the city. My neighbour received a 5% increase their first year and a 7% increase the second year, the people a few floors up got a 7% increase, and a woman in the internal WhatsApp Group said she got a 9% increase. I got a 4% increase my first year and approx. 4.5% increase my second year. They have fired almost all of their staff, even in the time I have been here the concierges have almost entirely changed - fired or quit. The management team was moved to their other properties they are opening, they cut back on services, and you have to pay to use the gym if you want someone you know to train you now apparently. If you check Reddit and other sites you will see people say the same thing - management focus almost entirely on revenue generation. I recently saw the TV show 60 minutes that did a special on Tricon's CEO (google it),and they talked about how greedy this company is and what they are doing to the housing market, they see $$$ and have no remorse. Why do I still live here? Because I can walk to work and my husband has a 5 minute commute, but we are going to look at a different property ever since we learned about the 9% increase. It highway robbery. They are charging almost $4000 for a two bedroom on some floors. A mortgage on a condo costs less than that! Also beware - once since we moved in but apparently a few times before that, all 4 elevators were out of service. Try walking up 30, 40 or 50 flights of stairs because they can't keep their elevators working. It's actually illegal for that to happen even.

There is a market place with lots of food options in the area. Lots of art work and murals. In June of 2022, they had their first Liberty Village Street Party. I am not sure if this will be an annual thing. The neighborhood is definitely developing. More and more condos are starting to be built in the area. The brick buildings at Liberty Village is very beautiful. It flings off a bit of trendiness meet heritage feeling. I love it.

Karen is a foreign student at U of T and wanted to live in a luxury apartment. That takes money. Money is supposed to make Karen's life perfect. It had a little obstacle. Oh, it must be the fault of the handicapped fellow downstairs. Karen can't be inconvenienced. I am the handicapped person downstairs. I don't like cockroaches and certainly never "refused" to do anything about them. I struggled to control my cockroaches over a year or so - in the height of the pandemic. (With underlying conditions I was in isolation). Eventually - just as Karen was giving up and moving out - I overcame my handicaps to clear out my kitchen and bathrooms (and get my cats into their carriers for evacuation) and had my apartment sprayed - twice. I don't have cockroaches now. It is a shame that someone brought cockroaches to this wonderful building. They are undesirable. However, I have found that the managers are very responsive to any request that I have made to control these creatures and that those controls have been effective. Living here is a wonderful experience. The location is A1. Near three subway stations and Yorkville, it would be hard to think of a better place to be. The apartments are huge, air conditioned and have dishwashers. The management team is super friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Repairs - which for me have been minor - are addressed the next day after I make a request. Despite the fact that there are lots of students living here, I never hear any noise. Life is very peaceful. The building has "good bones" including good sound insulation. (When I was student I made lots of noise.) I couldn't think of a nicer place to live and recommend this place highly.

You are close to museum, bay and bloor stations, right next to yorkville shopping, u of t, lcbo, groceries, cheap food on yonge. Honestly, there is nothing you can't get around here. The place: They are huge, well taken care of and you always feel super safe. The landlord is unreal and makes you feel like you are part of their family. No noise complaints in two years - and my roommates and I do like to party. If you want to live near everything and not pay out your ass for yorkville rent, look up 55 charles. It's not a luxury building, but it's pretty damn nice and they keep upgrading. Good times at 55.
