Yes — post-war apartments represent 30% of our Toronto service calls! Toronto experienced massive apartment construction from 1950s-1980s, primarily in Scarborough, North York, York, and Etobicoke.
Common building locations: Scarborough (hundreds of apartment towers throughout Victoria Park corridor, Kennedy Road, McCowan Road), North York (St. James Town - highest concentration in Canada, Thorncliffe Park, Flemingdon Park, Don Mills, Jane & Finch corridor), York (across the district), Etobicoke (Kipling Heights, Islington Avenue corridor, Rexdale area).
Post-war building challenges: Building-wide water pressure (affects washers and dishwashers), common drain systems (backups affect multiple units), electrical limitations, laundry hookups added decades after construction, tight spaces for appliances, venting challenges, vibration concerns (shared walls/floors with neighbors).
Our apartment building expertise: We've serviced hundreds of Toronto apartment buildings. We understand how to book elevator time efficiently, vibration solutions for shared-wall units, working with building electrical/plumbing constraints, coordinating with property management companies, understanding tenant vs landlord responsibilities.
Toronto tenant rights: Under Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act, landlords typically must repair appliances they provided. Review your lease. Many Toronto tenants don't realize their landlord is responsible — we can provide receipt for your landlord to reimburse.
