There are many residents with children in the Marina Center and also many residents with pets. Unfortunately SOME of the residents with pets do not respect the fact that many children enjoy playing on the grounds, especially in the small park next to the building on the water front. The grass in that area is full of dog poop (fresh and dry). Unlike cow poop, it is not a good fertilizer. Despite there being a sign warning of the municipal by-law which prohibits animals from defecating in the area, many pet owners bring their animals for a walk in the park area and allow them to leave their poop behind.
Strangely enough, there is a large wild wooded area bordering the grounds, just west of the building which is large enough for even the biggest dog to roam and defecate without disturbing anyone. But some pet owners seem to be too LAZY to walk a few more feet to bring their dogs there! Why I wonder?
I think it is time non pet owning residents and residents who have pets and who respect others who don't, complain to Pierrefonds city hall (or borough hall) so that they put a patrol car there again to give out hefty tickets. I heard that the last time they did that it brought some great results... and big fines.
Peeing in the Elevator
On one occasion I entered one of the elevators only to be overwhelmed by a smell of animal urine. I immediately went to see the janitor and asked him to intervene, which he did. If your dog accidentally urinates in the elevator please have the decency to go and get the janitor and have it cleaned up. Please!
This blog is intended to allow residents to make their opinions known about the upkeep of the building and grounds. The Marina Center is located at 14,255 Gouin West H8Z 3C2, corner of Saint-John's boul. and Gouin boul. West on the West Island of Montreal (borough of Pierrefonds). This ~30 year old, 16 level building, has 16 apartments per floor totaling some 250, including studios, 1 & 2 bedroom.

ReplyDeleteExcellent comments!
Good advices!!!
Thank you-I just wish it works!!!
Good point about pet owners who do not pick up dog poop. Furthermore, what complicates picking up after your dog, is that Zeva never bothers with the up keep of the outside premises. With so many leaves, you cannot even see where your dog has pooped in order to pick it up, especially at night. May I remind the tenants, that you have a right for reduction in your rent for services that are not being respected with this adminstration. You must send a letter giving them 7 days to rectify the problem. After seven days open a file at the Regie de Logement, for $64.00 (or you can do it as a group file also), and ask for $200.00 per month for every month that they do not clean up the premises. Regie de Logement 514-873-2245. If your not comfortable speaking with a particular agent on the phone, do not hesitate to call back and speak to someone else.
