If he's pissed now, wait until his maintenance fees go up to cover the $2500.00 per false alarm that the city charges......I don't know all the criteria but I believe you get 1 a year free, then it's $2500.00 per.

Yep, the city charges for each false alarm.

This is the 2nd condo building I lived in downtown Toronto and they both have the same problem, false alarms going off a few times per month.

Is it that difficult to run a decent fire alarm system FFS????

I would recommend that anyone who lives in an apartment or condo invest in ear plugs.

Happened to me as we first moved in to new construction, then I would say about once a year the alarms would go off inconveniently in the middle of the night, sometimes multiple times.

 

[Esco!]

I thought about unplugging the bell, but you can get charged with that

I live in a condo in downtown Toronto and I have never had a problem with the fire alarm. Are people triggering the fire alarm or sometimes when it rains the bloody thing goes off as well.

 

[RTRD]

I am...

...so there. So, so, so there.

When I was living in residence at Mac studying for finals the fire alarm went off about 1am. Everyone trucks outside. Turns out the alarm was pulled by a couple of guys who wanted to delay the pizza guy so that their pizza would be free.

They didn't get to enjoy the pizza as several others beat the living tar out of them.....

A perfect example of how an education is wasted on stupid people lol....

I wouldve thumped them too, and then taken their pizza to boot

I used to live in a condo for few years up until last year. During the day or something, fine, but in the middle of the night, in your sleep is definitely not fun.

Although noone goes outside for these things, always stay in your unit unless you are advised to do so thru PA system. Is this not the norm in all buildings? Thought it was.

Its not always a technical issue. Sometimes it happens because when people are cooking and gets hot and smokey, they decide to open their door, therefore causing the alarm in the hallway.

No, the rules are you're supposed to come downstairs when the alarm goes off
(or thats my understanding anyways)

But nobody does that anymore these days.
So thats dangerous as hell, in case there ever really is a fire!

 

[Kyra.Graves]

...so there. So, so, so there.

I think I live in the same building as you and Esco, sleep is a luxury most nights.

 

[RTRD]

Oh...

I think I live in the same building as you...sleep is a luxury most nights.

...I wish...LOL

And does everyone in the building always come out?

we were always advised to stay in the unit and wait for the announcements.
The fire marshall, when they arrive will always get on the PA and advise they are checking it out and to stay in the units until further notice.
Next day, there will be notices around elevators, main floor etc, notifying us as to what happened and why it went off. And again always advising to stay inside til further notice.

I remember a lady from work was talking about this 1 time as well as she also used to live in a condo and it was the same thing for her. Maybe 'sauga/brampton has different procedures than toronto?

I guess one way to look at this is, at least they work
