All three condominium corporations in the Grandview Way residential complex use the one and same management office. The property management function was contracted out to DEL Property Management.
The people working in the management office are:
| Property Manager: | Michael Doherty |
| Administrative Assistant: | Maggie Yim |
| Address for service: | 126 Grandview Way |
| Phone: | 416-224-2373 |
The phone number for the gatehouse is: 416-529-6489.

The three corporations have had their Annual General Meetings (AGM) in June and July this year.
The Casitas at Northtown (MTCC #1113) had two incumbent candidates running for two positions on the Board of Directors. All candidates were re-elected. These are the members of the Board of Directors for MTCC #1113 for the coming year, and each director also holds an office in the corporation:
| President: | Hamzeh Roumani* |
| Secretary: | Cathy Vendramin |
| Treasurer: | Alan Tam |
| 1st Vice-President: | Amy Choi* |
| 2nd Vice President: | Debby Nathanson |
| *Also serves as a representative to the Shared Facilities Committee. | |
The 88 Grandview Way (MTCC #1132) also had two incumbent candidates running for two positions on the Board of Directors. All candidates were re-elected. These are the members of the Board of Directors for MTCC #1132 for the coming year, and each director also holds an office in the corporation:
| President: | Susan Stormes* |
| Secretary: | Stephen Douglas |
| Treasurer: | Brian Ho* |
| 1st Vice-President: | Sandra Sanguinetti |
| 2nd Vice President: | Taraneh Foyle |
| *Also serves as a representative to the Shared Facilities Committee. | |
The 880 Grandview Way (TSCC #1446) surprisingly had four candidates running for two positions on the Board of Directors.
It is very rare, possibly unheard of, that in condominium corporations there are more candidates than available positions on the Board of Directors. Most typically, condominium corporations have great difficulties in finding people to fill the vacancies on the Board. This, perhaps, may be a good sign as more people are getting more enthusiastically involved in managing the affairs of their own condo. After all, it's their homes.
Among the four candidates, only one was an incumbent: Thomas Kwong. The second candidate, David Grader, the former President, resigned in 2008 and declared his candidacy again in 2009. The third candidate, Bill Kay, was a recent new owner to the 880 building.
The candidacy of these three candidates were made known to unit owners in the AGM package which also included their resumes. However, only the resumes of Thomas Kwong and David Grader were translated into Chinese by the Management Office. Bill Kay later confirmed that he was never asked whether he would like his resume translated into Chinese. "I definitely would like my resume in Chinese," he added.
The fourth candidate, Audrey Wai, declared her candidacy at the Annual General Meeting, at which she handed out her resume in English. She was a member of the board for the 880 building since the inception of the bulidng in 2002. She resigned in 2007 to go back to school.
After election, these are the members of the Board of Directors for TSCC #1446 for the coming year, and each director also holds an office in the corporation:
| President: | David Yung* |
| Secretary: | Simon Li* |
| Treasurer: | Johnny Hui |
| 1st Vice-President: | Thomas Kwong |
| 2nd Vice President: | Audrey Wai |
| *Also serves as a representative to the Shared Facilities Committee. | |

Dear neighbors,
ReplyDeleteYour probably don't know the Casitas housing price layout has been changed. The property value of your unit has been stolen.
The park located at the central of the casitas has been blocked without any survey and vote ? It was a beautiful park and safe ground for the kids and toddlers. It has been considered a big added value to the properties of three condominiums in grandview way. However, the park has been stolen incredibly before the public.
This change not only changed community yard layout, but also changed the individual housing price. Sure, the gangster who has stolen it largely increased his unit value because the largely increased front yard, but it sacrificed the value of properties of others units in the community.
This gangster is Hamzeh Roumani who has been elected as the president of casitas for more than 10 years, now he is totally corrupted. The park is right located in front of his unit, 118 Grandview Way. Hamzeh Roumani has been planning this stealing for long time.
He set up rule to close the park in the evening, but seems didn't work for him. So he tested the people's reaction by assigning some community's flower beds to a few people to plant vegetable for free in summer of 2014. Even though this change destroyed the beauty of the community, but it seems no one react on this yard change. So he stepped out quitely with his true plan - blocking the circle path of the park right in front of his unit.
People reported this illegal change to the Del management office, unfortunately this didn't stop him from stealing the park. Instead he further blocked the other half of the park in a month late to try to cover himself from being identified.
It is biggest stolen from us. Technically this convert the whole park into his private front yard. Sure, he can sell his unit with a very good price, but it sacrificed other unit owners. In addition, don't forget, he was using our management fund to make illegal change. This is absolutely not acceptable.
Dear neighbour, let's speak out to fight back for our unit value!
Thank you,
Residents of Casitas
