  • 193 Parkside Drive Toronto, Ontario - Toronto

    The tree on our front lawn was cut down by the City on June 17, 2013. The City said the stump would be removed and a tree replanted in 4 months. Then 6 months. Then 9 months. Now 311 says the Fall of 2014 which will make that 15 or 16 months since the tree was cut down. Actually, they even showed up the morning of May 1st to our house and said they will be removing it the next day (May 2, 2014) which never happened. The stump takes up a huge portion of front yard and has even lifted our walkway. Also, we are unable to grow any grass because the stump is so large. We understand that because it is on a busy road and is so huge that it may be a difficult job but we are feeling exasperated that they keep breaking promises. We just want to be able to fix our front yard and do some landscaping.

    Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

  • 255 Runnymede Rd Toronto, Ontario - Toronto
    This bus stop delays buses on routes 71a 71b 79a 79b because there's too many people getting on and it makes the bus too crowded and also when there's people waiting here it blocks the sidewalk seriously people get on the bus at the terminal that's 5 feet away!

  • 132 Seaton Street Toronto, Ontario - Toronto

    We are attached to 132 Seaton which has been abandoned for a few years. We did not choose to live next to an abandonment building. When we first moved here, people were living at 132 Seaton, and now raccoon's infest this house. This home was purposely put in this state because of a landlord that does not care anymore.

    This raccoon problem has gotten worse and continues to disrupt our lives on a daily basis. There are over a dozen racoons living in the neighbors roof which is attached to ours. Last night, a raccoon tried to come into my home from my screen door. We have complained to the owner and the city about the numerous holes in their home however both parties don't do anything. (I have emails from 2012 documenting the noise, feces, water damage, etc..)

    I just want someone to fix the hole to prevent wild life from entering the neighbors home.

  • 135 Evelyn Ave Toronto, Ontario - Toronto
    every morning, between 8&9 o clock there are dozens of kids crossing Evelyn avenue. They are going to saint Cecilia's school, which is up the street. Every morning though, there is lots of cars going fast up Evelyn ( no stop sign for northbound cars here!)and they almost hit the kids crossing here. There is lots of cars coming past here between 8&9 am. There is even lots of s'cool buses coming past here that are going fast that almost hit kids because most school bus drivers are really dumb. ONE DAY VERY SOON THERE WILL BE A FATAL COLLISION BETWEEN A S'COOL BUS AND A LITTLE KID BECAUSE THERE IS NO DANG TRAFFIC LIGHT OR CROSSWALK HERE.P.S THE CROSSWALK IS NEEDED ON EVELYN AVE NEAR WOODSIDE

  • 18 Gifford Stree Toronto, Ontario - Toronto
    This apartment building located at18 Gifford street and facing into Corn Chamomile Lane in Cabbagetown has been vacant since a fire wreaked havoc about 13 years ago and the owner was denied a new permit. The windows have never been boarded up and are caving in, the mortar has all fallen out of the top 10 feet of the Main 40 foot tall chimney backing into my backyard and I am fearful that during a good wind storm that it will topple down and harm someone or cause property damage. Rats and Raccoons have spiked and they are coming in and out of there like crazy, I called the city about 8 years ago and an inspector came out and investigated and met with me and told me that for sure the estate (the owner had died and the property was in probate in ASIA) should have had it boarded up as well because prostitution and drug dealing was occurring in the building entrance on Corn Chamomile lane. Nothing occurred after that and my calls to the city were not returned. My neighbour ended up buying boards and blocking the building alcove himself to prevent the criminal activity that was congregating there. A month ago I lodged another complaint using 311 and was advised that I would get a call after 7 days from the city. I never did, soI called 311 back and they gave me the file # 266-2281 and the name of the investigator : Jaan Peter Sepp 416.397.7262. My voicemail to him 2 weeks ago has not been returned....Please help get us answers to this13 year old plus problem.

  • 201 Old Weston Rd Ontario - Toronto
    Old Weston rd between junction rd and davenport rd has been closed for like five years for CONSTRUCTION. Now Dupont street has too much traffic because its the only way from the area near osler street and Carlton park to the high park north area. At first the closure was for track reconstruction, now its for that stupid union Pearson train(which is the dumbest idea ever). Just reopen this railroad crossing.
  • 532 Arlington Avenue Toronto, Ontario - Toronto
    I got fined for not painting my garage door fast enough even though I stated to the city that I was replacing it (which I did). Meanwhile, on my block, neighbours concrete pave over their city grass and rip out city trees, replace front steps without railings, build 8 foot fences all the way to the sidewalk and leave houses looking disgraceful (I'm speaking about a house owned by the city that is an eyesore - image attached - more images available). Have spoken to the Mayor's Office but that is now taking weeks to get some traction even after a promise by Rob Ford who I met in person).
