This place keeps changing hands, but works to improve the building have always been short lived. It's infamous around when it comes to garbage places to live. Give any concerned community member in Davenport a day with a ball and crane, and you'd have a new skyline along Dupont.

I met someone from the building a couple months back, and he assured a group of us the place is still as scary/dumpy as ever. The city needs to do something about the building, but no one seems to have any idea what.

You have to stop and wonder why people are still smoking and selling crack out of this place when the police have promised to clean up toronto's only crack house with an under ground parking lot. Personal experience tells me that the hookers, dealers and addicts will, long after the bulding is run into the ground, rule the area because of the overwhelming populations prefered lifestyle. The cops can't carry these people away to jail before the next settles in. Like I said before I have personal experience, you do remember "drug nest free fall", it took the cops 3.5 hours to find me, while I was cuffed no less, so after they contain the scene and react so poorly to the events that were unfolding, how do we trust them to handle the recent fiend arousal? These peoiple will never say die until the crack runs out. As amatter of fact that is about the only time they don't make an appearance, at least not at 1011. It seems that the lack of programs to deal with the crack addiction,such as the methadone programs set in place for heroin addicts, is the most likely place to reduce the visibility of this scociety. I don't know mabe we should put up a big wall around 1011 and let the problem stay contained. What do you think?

Friday the thirteenth lived up to its reputation.

I went to the west tower today and was told nothing of the horrible reputation. I was shown 3 bachelors I found the nicest was on the 22 floor It was renovated had new fake hardwood the walls were painted the bathroom was clean and looked somewhat new and so I paid a $400 deposit and signed a 1 year term. arrggh! I feel that I have somewhat been conned / duped into living in the most unsafe neighborhood and apartment building in Toronto. I now wonder when I am going to be robbed or beaten. I think there is no way for me to get out of this lease. What can I do. They told me that they have security I never saw one camera on any of the floors. They did tell me one thing that they have a lot of drug dealers. This did not really bother me as I grew up in Scarborough and am used to that. One thing they did not tell me is that the upper floors are used by prostitutes . The room I singed a one year lease on is on the top floor. I have been informed by my employers that I should keep anything of value at a friends or in a safe deposit box and to never dress nice and act like I have absolutely no money. I feel that I should get surveillance system for when I am not home but feel this would be of no use anyways. I will be having nothing at the apartment accept an air mattress some food and cleaning supplies. I am going to go as far as to even keep my bank card in my safe deposit box and only withdraw cash from the teller. All I wanted was a safe place with my own bathroom. Now I fear I may loose my life or become homeless because of robberies. what can I do?

ye, i feel tha same way livin round here u noe it's not thata safe when u been livin here for 7 or more years, but once again u learn na live with it around u, i mean im only a teen but im doin good in the area , it improved better, than it's old reputation, but anyweh jus shoutin out to ones who asked questions,. but ye. good luck..

Greetings all regarding 1011 landsdowne, I used to work the building some time ago as a rent-a-cop. I can tell you first hand MANAGEMENT WILL LIE THEIR ASSESS OFF TO YOU TO YOUR FACE. All they care about is $$$$$$$$. I can tell you that they allow the most nicest and the most unnicest of people in all of their buildings. Another location is located in the kipling ave finch area. Most of our immigrants are being directed to these buildings on the promise of a better life educated work etc. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA sorry laughing fit. I can also tell you too that as a former rent-a-cop in that hell whole every time we tried to ban arrest etc some piece of garbabe in the place WE GOT SHIT FOR IT BY MANAGEMENT.. hell i still have the reports. just ask for em what i have would blow your mind. Managements stance anytime a death occurs on that site...... well theres another deplorable story for anther day. In short i work else were in a different line of work now but i can tell you this like i said 5 years ago. the only way to fix that place is leave all the trash there that wants to stay in the place stay there, sell off the building and the land. destroy the place and make it a rent geared to income neighborhood for those in the area that want a descent life to enjoy.
Thats my rant folks ENJOY

I totally agree with the people who have comments on getting rid of this shit hole. I lived in the building in 2008. I was like others who were tricked into thinking the building was nice and that the tenants where not whores or crack-heads. This was very troubling, as I am a recovering cocaine addict and was looking for a drug-free neighborhood. I can understand the comment made by "The Most Humble", but in reality drug addicts can persevere through anything to get a fix, so it is not an issue for them to travel to get their methadone. The fact you would try to use location to services for addicts as an excuse to justify the conditions of the building is ridiculous. If they can walk across toronto to meet a crack dealer, they can walk to a clinic also.
That being said, the real issue I have is with the management, the issue is that I had a very special pet die on the property due to a failure to provide screens in the windows in the building by the management. Once that I informed them that I work at a law firm, and that I know that I had grounds to sue them, they offered an out of court deal, where I got 3 months rent free before moving out. The deal went down as expected (I thought), until I found out that they tried to take me to Court and get a judgment in their name. The funny part was how they forged the documents to say that they served me properly (which they did not), and therefor the Judge assumed I was not attending due to ignorance. I think the only ignorant people are the scumbags that run that building, and they are pathetic assholes for tricking people into thinking that the building is a proper living establishment.
I think that the city should be held accountable for what has happened in that building, as well as protect the people from pieces of shit like this management company and others.
I dont care what you think, drug addicts and their activities should never be condemned or used as a reason to inconvenience the rest of society. Segregating these people to certain areas is not the answer. These people should be thrown in jail if they done live there, or have no valid reason for being in the building. The management can enforce this, but they donw want there # 1 tenants, the crack dealers, to move out or complain that their "customers" are being sent away or denied access.
To finish, that building is a complete waste of space, as are the management people who work there.

p.s. I will be taking legal action against them for the illegal judgment.. and too the manager, I'll see your wrinkly old ass in Court!!!!!!!!

I live in the area and have heard a few things about 1011 Landsdowne. A few years ago, I actually went in to check out a bachelor apt. The apt. was quite nice. They told me how much rent I have to pay and what will be required. But I notice on our way down to the main floor, the people that got into the elevator, had a look of drug dealers/crack heads. I looked at them and made up my mind then and there, that I definitley will not move in there. I'm glad I didn't. Thank you all of you, for the information. I hope other people read these comments before deciding to rent there. Ciao.

Hello to everybody, I just want to ask anyone of you if you can tell me this place "1011 Lansdowne Ave., Toronto, Ontario." I don't know if this is the place you are talking about. My nephew lived here in "1011 Lansdowne Ave., Apt., # 2107 MGH 4G1." I'm not quite sure if this is the correct address he had given me. My question, is this building, Apartment 2107? can anyone tell me if this is the apartment? I'm so grateful if anyone can tell me where is this apartment 2107 in 1011 Lansdowne Avenue. I'm planning to visit my nephew this coming Christmas. I'm so dissapointed w/ this place if that is true what I have read about the comments of other people. Thank you for the information in advance.

this unfortuantly is the notrious building you read on all the comments. My advice get a Bodygaurd while visitng
