you wrote:"OCH responded to 98.5% of all pest management calls on time"

thats a lie or is it willful manipulation?

..or do you consider when they drop off a appt letter and no show on it or they no show on the next follow up required appointment as part of the 98.5%?

btw, after CBS reported this summer about the infestation of rats at the building and featured a elderly tenant who was bit by one while sleeping, OCH didnt even bother going around the grounds and picking up the rotting rat corpses.

OCH has elderly and disabled people suffering greatly being infested daily by OCH infestation of cockroaches and bed bugs , crying about it for years and years.

OCH pushes a baiting method for pests over spraying…the bait method requires a chain of treatments over a couple of months….IPM seems to not be able to keep appointments enough for a chain to happen…over and over again…no shows….no attempts to reschedule and the tenant is back at square one calling the phone line…

again and again…over and over…so how is treatment suppose to happen when 50%ish of appts are not kept or rescheduled?
heck…OCH cant even manage to clear walkways of snow through the winter (need to be told although they walk and drive by it all day all week) and do basic hygienic maintenance.

i have been trying to get OCH to clean out the stench rotting garbage room that fills the lobby with its stink each summer (which the staff also "step over")….seems OCH refused to clean out the room and bins again this year…but they say they are doing a good job no doubt.

the tenants of OCH deserve better, the taxpayer deserves better, the city of Ottawa deserves better.

the elderly and disabled are suffering greatly under OCH manipulations, lies and abuses , OCH stewardship , which seems to desperately deflect their failures onto the tenants….its the management and staff….they run their jobs in a disgusting negligence.

u guys focus on gay pride flags and mouth "Love"? meanwhile the elderly and disabled are suffering yearly without end under your stewardship…im not sure if you know what the word love means.

the elderly and disabled are not there to be monetized while they suffer so much as " food for OCH mouths", we all hear the same lines and excuses from OCH over and over….i hear people speaking the same lines they were told from 5 years ago that ive been hearing for almost 2 years now.

people wait for a long time for subsidy and when they get OCH its like they got a disease…"i got a case of OCH"….me personally…i will be moving …im ruined…all my stuff is garbage now…i wont be bringing OCH infestation with me….im confident they wont lift a finger in that… belongings i built up for 5 years before i got OCH is garbage, im ruined. what will OCH do? maybe assist me in throwing anything left in garbage when i move.

these scenarios have been going on with OCH long before i moved in….and these poor disabled and elderly people suffer greatly under OCH stewardship of the govt program.

i think OCH need to be investigated for misappropriation or fraud or whatever they have done (or not done) to result in this nightmare for so many.

i think it should be considered if OCH is elder and disabled persons abuse.
