so what is the maintenance fee for your unit?
$0.51
I have a large(r) unit with a large locker and parking so not sure if it's $0.51 for everyone.

No parking garage doors? Same in our Plazacorp building and its sister building. Our board ended up buying a door for security reasons -- also adding additional keyed entry points.
That does not sound too good I'm not sure why they would not have garage doors...it's unheard of these days with all the new projects that are going up! Depending on who is on my board, who knows if we will spring for this!
Yes that's how ours was ... a door to enter resident area. However, it was very difficult to control the visitor parking with no entry door to that section and also to control people wandering in, so we added a door to visitor's that now requires people to ask security for entry. That entry door has also helped cut down on the dust, dirt, leaves, etc. that blew in through the opening.I believe there is the visitors parking that is open. There are garage doors to the rest of the parking within. Also, there are controlled entry fobs. Not sure it is quite as open as suggested.
The concierge would need to open the door and there be a buzzer I guess if they install doors at the entrances. And yes, probably will end up at the cost of the unit holders.
I know at our other Plazacorp unit there is parking for condo residents on floors 2,3 and 4. The first floor is visitor and public parking and is open (and they charge for it but it is downtown). However, you can't get into the condo itself as you need a fob.
If the building is registered (I think I remember reading that?) the turnover meeting should happen within a couple of months. It's not dependent on the building being occupied.
Sounds to me like you should run for the board
We initially had a lot of party people in the building. Board/property management cracked down on the rules and some left because it wasn't fun anymore We have double security presence on weekends, which has helped a lot -- when there was just one, he'd be off quietening down a group while people would be sneaking in through the main entry because no one was on the desk.
We've also got pretty much a zero tolerance policy and we have and will fine people, charge them, etc.
We used to put on extra security during busy times like Beerfest, Caribana, etc. but having the entry door to the parking levels helped a lot with that -- people don't try to sneak in and get free parking! We also are very vigilant about ticketing visitors without passes and about matching passes to residents because we found that some people would say they were visiting and just give a suite number -- but when we checked with the person living in the building, they didn't have a guest.
Bottom line is that there are growing pains with a new building as it develops its own personality and character. Good board and good management are essential.
You should move to our building and get on the board!!!!
