Newer developments in Toronto are considered far from the most high-quality builds, but while some residents might accept glass falling from balconies, flooding, fire alarms blaring, and dysfunctional elevators, tenants at one brand-new building have had enough after a particularly dangerous incident.

A person living in Reunion Crossing, a community at 1808 St. Clair Ave W. that only began occupancy this past spring, took to social media on Thursday to express their frustrations with the condo, up to and including a complete calamity that took place in its gym this week.

Along with claims of delayed occupancy, water damage, security complaints, issues with the opening of amenities, and all-around shoddy workmanship that apparently includes "paint rubbing off like chalk," the individual shared photos of the recently debuted gym — seen covered in rubble and debris after its ceiling randomly fell in.

"Last night while two people were in the newly-opened gym when the roof collapsed," the poster wrote.

"According to management, no one was injured, but it has left the residents shaken and worried that the building is not safe and wanting the City to do a re-inspection as they have been very lax with what they have approved as livable and what is safe."

The justifiably frustrated local goes on to bemoan the "fast new buildings" that abound in the city, which many feel are more cheaply-made than ever before and which seem to somehow require a glut of repairs almost immediately after construction is completed.

"We need to have a standard that these developers have to meet in order for them to open their doors... especially when these units are listed for rent $2,200 a month and more," they ended their missive, with people jumping into the comments within minutes of posting to agree about this shocking instance, but also the state of condos in the city in general.

"It's disturbing to think that a developer has cut so many corners and the inspection is so relaxed that a ceiling in a new gym comes crashing down. Thank god no one was hurt. But how long do we have to wait until this kind of development and lack of inspection ends in harm, injury and death?" one person asked.

Others expressed fear about the fact that Premier Doug Ford wants to cut even more so-called "red tape" from the industry to get much-needed residences built faster, which might ostensibly lead to even worse regulatory standards and enforcement of those standards.

Hilariously, anyone who looks up the developer behind the project, Diamond Kilmer, will now be met with a photo of the caved ceiling as the first photo on Google in the wake of the accident.

Neither Diamond Kilmer, Reunion Crossing management, nor contractor Tucker HiRise replied to blogTO's request for comment in time for publication.
