Tenant Meeting April 25, 2012

The main topic today was bedbugs the Super had a presentation all set up about these nasty creatures and I could tell most of the tenants felt uncomfortable. I feel this is an issue that needed to be told, education and providing information is the only way to win the war over these creepy crawly bugs and another tenant complained ants are attacking her unit.
 I attended the meeting because I had a few issues to address one is "inspection overkill" especially mine. When I asked the Super the response was “to cut down on work order requests I’m doing seasonal inspections” the funny thing is I've never handed in a work order since I've been here. :P  I can understand one annual inspection for all units but for fuck sakes! do we really need one for fire, A/C, pest control and heating and other all at different dates. I value my privacy and it seems to me UNH’s doesn’t give a shit that we tenants are being inconvenienced by having to move our furniture and belongings to accommodate these blasted inspections.  Perhaps we should just open our doors permanently and let staff walk in whenever they want to.:P  You know there was a time when UHN's entered units without proper 24 hour advanced notice, thanks to this blog they don't dare do that anymore...at least not in my unit. 
Little Debbie came up with a wonderful suggestion in honoring the tenants who passed on and wouldn’t you know it Ingrid N. came up with opposition. 
Where there any surprises at the meeting!...yep I found out the driver guy is more then a chauffeur he's also Big Brother. ;)

Poor Working Environment

My unit is located near the KMHC office, along with a friendly wave or hello I see the junior staff going about their business in a cheerful manner with the exception of one employee.   You would think KMHC has a pleasant working environment but that is not the case.   March 2016 is when Urban Native Homes head office was forced to move from their former spacious location to the cramp basement level of KMHC.   There were approx. 8-10 staff members at the time.   Then the Urban Native Homes financial scandal broke out and soon after the current UNH acting director’s illicit past became public knowledge, everyone was worried will they have a job.  Fearful meetings going on in the community room, the rumor mill was in full rotation while I just stood back and observed the panic.   Check your search engine it states this building location is Urban Native Homes head office yet that is not correct.  There is no real head office, the organization has s...

The End Is Here

Urban Native Homes Inc. will no longer exist.   Today and tomorrow Ciy of Hamilton/Ontario Aboriginal Housing Human Resources Dept. are interviewing UNH staff and other applicants in the community room.   Who will be rehired and who will be fired!   I just hope they choose wisely. Tonight I heard Christine Lenze, her mother Ingrid Nosel and the rest of their family and friends has left UNH. This evening before I left for the gym I ran into receptionist Melissa Wissner in the hallway.   She was waiting for her job interview and had a message for me from former UNH caseworker Crystal Mackenzie.  Crystal wishes me good luck and it was a pleasure working with me.  I was surprised by the message and I wish her the best too. :) My blog site has accomplished what I started out to do some years ago by publicly outing the mismanagement of Urban Native Homes Inc.  It's been a long arduous journey. I would like to thank anonymous and the others for thei...

Lock That Door!

FOB A few years ago UNH’s installed electronic door locks on all levels of the KMHC building.   There was grumbling from tenants about the inconvenience but soon learn to adapt.   Before entry the tenant must have a FOB device to unlock and open the front door. *Similar to the image above*   Yeah it’s a pain in the arse when a tenant is carrying groceries and other items.   The one thing I like about the FOB lock system is when the building fire alarm is triggered all FOB locked doors electronically swing open.   Soon after the FOB lock systems were installed I notice something peculiar.   During office hours the basement door was jarred open by the UNH’s staff and I figured out why.   UNH staff was too lazy to get up off their seat and physically open the door for their visitors.   There is a security camera monitor at the reception desk and a buzzer that opens the main door but Jeezus Come on ladies!   Tenant elders are inst...
