Fire Alarm Inspection II

Can UNH’s please give us a break on these inspections!  Last night the KMHC office posted a fire alarm inspection follow up.  Instead of “follow up” it should be titled “fuck up”. A barrel of monkeys could run this place better.  As far as I’m concerned the last fire alarm inspection a few weeks ago went without a glitch so why are we being inconvenienced?   Today we’ll have to endure sirens being tested and like last time plain clothed fire inspectors wandering in our units.  Due to the extreme cold weather I’m finally recovering from a major cold and not in the mood for these interruptions.  

This morning I sent a fax to the UNH’s Director here is an excerpt:
 UNH’s Director. 
This evening I see an unsigned “24 hour Notice of Entry” is posted on the KMHC bulletin board stating a unit fire alarm inspection follow up is scheduled for February 19 between the hours of 12 noon – 8:30 pm.  I will remind you we had a complete building and unit fire alarm inspection on January 29, 2015.  I was present and noticed everything was tested clear on my floor and unit, including the emergency lights and sirens in the hallways, the fire alarm siren that is linked to my apt plus the wall unit. These are in excellent working condition so another unit inspection is unnecessary.  Please pass this information on to your precious HSC Ingrid that repetitive inspections are costly, a waste of time, intrusive and annoying to the tenant.  Let’s hope the KMHC office staff can get it right this time.
Re: 24 hour notices: According to the Landlord and Tenant act: the landlord must include reason, date and exact time of entry.  No exceptions unless agreed with the tenant.  I know tenants who live in high rise buildings in Hamilton Ontario and always the 24 hour notice is posted in a common area, a copy is delivered to each unit, includes an employee signature, reason, date and expected time of entry.  It’s a practice UNH’s / KMHC staff should follow.

This Fax is sent to you as per Dale Skvereckas instruction

Thank you.

Hey readers I'll try to be humorous on my next blog,  thinking up jokes and how I can poke fun at the staff will be fun.   Satire is something I'm good at.  :)

Well folks I saw the fire inspectors arrive then soon after they drove off. Looks like the Director was listening and I just saw the little imp Lynda Jones lock up the office for the day and waddled down the street. :D

Wigwamin Terrace

After many years I received a call for Toronto Native Housing offering a vacancy so I decided to explore my options by attending a viewing of what's available. But first I did a phone interview with acting project manager Paul Feitelberg. He said my personal and financial information checks out fine then we talked about the negative reference I got from Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services. I was asked for my side of the story and I also invited Paul to read this blog site to find out more who I am.  A few days later I called Paul for an update, I was complimented on my blog posts and he could see the love and compassion I have for the Native people on this blog site.  Due to the Hamilton cyber attack it was difficult for Paul get a reference from my current housing provider so with my assistance I helped him get in contact with their office. I received an excellent tenant reference from my housing provider. When I asked about OAHS he said he's going to ignore their negative re...

The Ladies of KMHC

I & friend Teresa Last week I attended a program host by NWC Hamilton, it was there I met up with six female tenants of KMHC.   It was nice to see the ladies again I was greeted with hugs and smiles.   The program was Holistic teachings by Jane Burning she spoke about the Creator and positive thinking.   I enjoyed the presentation though it was a wee bit long.   During lunch break I had the chance to chat with the KMHC tenants to find out how’s life going at KMHC.   Things haven’t improved most tenants don’t like each other and there’s a lot of negative energy in the building.   I offered a sympathetic ear and didn’t judge as they shared their stories. The big problem with KMHC is tenant Aunt Opie and I’m glad she didn’t attend the NWC program.   You may recall I spoke of her in past blogs, aunt Opie’s negativity spreads throughout KMHC.   She brags about sending false complaint e-mails about tenants and staff to Justin the head direc...

Koo Gaa Da Win Manitou

I hope one day we can truly say there is a haven where older natives who experienced homelessness can find a place to call home and have the resources available for the best quality of life in their golden years. Koo Ga Da Win Manitou Housing Complex has a long journey in order to reach that goal. Perhaps more funding is needed or better trained/experienced outreach workers who can relate to tenants concerns and health issues. Programs that would interest all tenants as a whole would be nice. Most important we tenants must try to get along with their neighbours. (as the good book says "Love thy neighbour") I've been here less then a year and I've observed alot, we have a diversity of tenants living in the building from different reservations and walks of life. Some have problems with alcohol, prescription drug addictions, physical disabilities and slight mental disabilities. The one thing we all have in common is our health concerns, from chronic back pain to deadly...
