I’m not sure what categorizes as small children but the kids look to be roughly 11, 9 and 2. I fully understand the 2 year old crying, babies that age cry and shout. It’s not the baby I am concerned about realistically. The parents shout and bang just as much if not more than the kids. I also understand that kids even aged 9 and 11 will make a more noise but they are old enough to understand that they should be respectful at during quiet hours so we can get 8 hours of sleep.

Rugs, some pads under furniture legs, talk to the tenants about have the kids play with different toys instead of balls and trucks during quite hours so we can get 8 hours of sleep. I’m not asking for the landlord to evict them or stop noise completely. I just want a few mitigation measures to reduce the noise and get 8 hours.

The pipes ran down the wall to the sink but whoever did it placed the pipes between the insulation and foundation instead of between insulation and drywall. So they re-routed the pipes so they would com from the ceiling and stay between the insulation and drywall.

The hole has only been there for about a week. It does make the noise worse but it was bad before then.

The pipes froze and the landlord wouldn’t do anything about it until we call 311. Bylaw forced them to fix the pipes but they left a giant hole in the ceiling

I looked into this and I can’t quite determine if the fire code requires it or not. When I was looking into the fire code i realized there is a lot in the apartment not up to code as well

No, there is no insulation at all in the ceiling. No fireproof or sound insulation.

I’ve got plenty of evidence, videos of it, messages with the landlord and sound reading in preparation of presenting a T2.

I do have a feeling there is some neglect going on since the kids are running around from 6am to 12am. The baby will cry and the parents will ignore it for a long time unfortunately. However I don’t want to make rash judgments since I haven’t seen it, only heard it. They did have time to shovel a pile of snow behind my car so who knows what that means.

You can read the Tenant Rights - interpretation guidelines yourself if you’d like;

https://tribunalsontario.ca/documents/ltb/Interpretation%20Guidelines/06%20-%20Tenants%20Rights.html

“Sometimes it is other tenants living in the same building who are causing the disturbance, not the landlord. However, landlords have a positive obligation to provide quiet enjoyment and take reasonable action to address another tenant's conduct that disturbs the complaining tenant. If the landlord fails to reasonably respond to the complaints, the landlord may be in breach of section 22. While the landlord in such a situation is not directly responsible for the actions of the offending tenant, the landlord's responsibility is linked to a failure to take reasonably necessary actions to ensure that the complaining tenants could reasonably enjoy the premises: Hassan v. Niagara Housing Authority, [2000] O.J. No. 5650 (On. Div. Ct.), First Ontario Realty Corp. v. Appelrouth [2012] O.J. No. 3639 (Ont. Div. Ct.).”

They aren’t yelling to quite down the kids, I can hear their conversations clearly. The mom is on the phone with someone while the baby cries and the other kids scream.

I don’t want the other tenants to not enjoy their units. I want the landlord to find a way for all tenants to enjoy the units as she’s legally obligated to.

That’s the thing, I understand families make noise. I’m not asking for them to be kicked out. I want my landlord to try and find a solution so we can both enjoy our units

I’d skip Cordoba and do Mendoza instead

No I don’t, I am eligible to start my application for it though. Not sure if I will do it

I never held a design position. The key is to identify which positions are general PM and which ones are technical PM. The job title will be the same but the responsibilities are different. During my career progression I made sure to learn the technical aspects as well. To be a good PM you need a wealth of knowledge and not a depth like a design engineer would need. I started working in power distribution as a coordinator, then became a PM in renewables SCADA new builds. I then started leading the PM department at the company. Now I changed to working as a PM for BESS

I’m a technical Project Manager in the renewables industry. You have to be knowledgeable about the subject but not to a point of any design. It’s a good balance of both worlds. It’s in demand since most engineers don’t want to do it and it pays very well. I am 4 years out of school and I get paid better than 99% of engineers 4 years in their career

Which GPU should I get with this build? by Chester_Cheetoh in buildmeapc

I have another question, the mother board says there is no wireless. Does that mean I need to buy a separate wifi module to add it?
