Many floors are infected but residents are isolated when/if they report the situation and are labelled "trouble maker" by the superintendant, Ceasar Grey.
Although we have not seen any bugs in our unit,my boyfriend and I are on the alert after talking to so many tenants with the problem.We are planning to move out before we become victims of an incompetent management who omitted to tell us of this situation when we moved in.Timbercreek should look twice at who they put in charge of their buildings if they care about their reputation.

The bedbug's apparently originated in unit #706 at 145 York Street, Ottawa, ON, and had been there for at least a year, according to pest control, due to it being "the worst case I've seen in 3 years", but had not been reported, either by fear, stupidity, or just plain irresponsibility. I am aware of at least 7 relocations to other apartments, and some of those people have suffered horribly.
Management has not informed anyone of this situation, and have let the tenants come to them if they've encountered any. I was told I was the only one to complain, and yet I've heard horror stories of what others have had to deal with for at least 6 months before I even encountered a single bug! Who knows how many other tenants have been affected? If everyone who complained was told they were the only one, and they've kept the situation under wraps, so as to avoid others finding out, there could be millions of bedbugs running through the walls on every floor, along pipes and electrical wiring, only to be displaced to another section of the building when one unit is sprayed.
I have enclosed the link to an online petition created to have as many people affected by this, and anyone who would like the owners of 145 York Street to be accountable, and do everything in their power to combat the bugs, so we may be able to sleep in peace again, if ever...
