Ultra Vista Towers, Cornwall, ON

I've lived here for a year, and thank god my contract is coming to an end. As I'm typing this, there's a maintenance worker running the loudest ride-on mower that I've ever heard. He started at 8:20 in the morning. That's fine if you've got a building full of young, gainfully-employed early-risers, but given the amount of retirees in this building - and believe me, it's a vast majority - such a loud mower so early in the morning is outrageous. And I'm on the 5th floor. I can only imagine what it sounds like on the 1st floor. He's mowing the back yard - and the pool. The pool was filled in a few years ago. Ultra Vista's chief redeeming feature plowed under. The superintendent is drunk most of the time, and smokes like a chimney. It affects his work. He addresses my wife as "sweetie" which makes her very uncomfortable and which might land him in the emergency room if it happens again. I gave Ultra Vista 1 star. 1 star meaning yes, there are positive traits. The location is good, and the apartment is in reasonably good shape. The other tenants here are kind folks, and the landlord is kind and quite receptive to complaints. It's just a shame her main employee isn't.
