Cockroaches Environmental Health Unit (EHU)
Cockroaches live in small spaces where their backs and bellies are touching, such as cracks, or gaps in cardboard. They also gather near warm, moist areas where water sources are present.
Cockroaches are carriers of disease and can increase allergy symptoms and asthma complications among other health issues.
Removing your household garbage daily, cleaning food scraps, spills and crumbs will reduce chances of infestation.
Keep your food in sealed containers, including pet food. This will restrict access to food sources for cockroaches.
Cleaning behind your fridge and stove at regular intervals will help to remove food scraps and help with early detection of an infestation.
If you see cockroaches in your unit or suspect their presence, immediately notify your superintendent or contact the Client Care Centre (416-981-5500) to book an inspection and treatments by a professional at no cost to you.
EHU and TCHC will work in partnership with tenants to keep units and buildings pest-free.

Fire safety hazards
Barbecues are not allowed on balconies. In some cases, barbecues may be used outside at least 15 feet from the building; check with your superintendent first. When barbecues are used too closely to the building, it can catch fire and spread, putting you and your neighbours in danger.
Baalkoonada dushooda baarbakiyuu looma ogola. Mararka qaar, baarbakiyuuyada waxaa lagu isticmaali karaa meel 5 mitir u jirta dhismaha, marka hore bal ka xaqiiji madaxa-dhismahaaga. Marka baarbakiyuuyada lagu isticmaalo meel aad ugu dhow dhismaha, dab baa qabsan kara oo faafi kara, kaasoo adiga iyo jaarkaaga/deriskaaga khatar idin gelin kara.
No se permiten barbacoas o parrillas en los balcones. En algunas ocasiones, es posible usar las barbacoas o parrillas como mínimo a 15 pies del edificio, consulten con su superintendente primero. Cuando las barbacoas o parrillas se usan muy próximas al edificio, pueden iniciar un incendio que se propague y los pong a ustedes y a sus vecinos en peligro.
露台上不容許燒烤。在某些情況下，燒烤可能會在距離大樓至少十五英尺的地方使用，因此請預先諮詢您的管理員。
當燒烤距離大樓太近時，它可能會著火和蔓延，令您和您的鄰居處於危險之中。

Closing the Loop Pilot program
Tell us how our vendors are doing.
Toronto Community Housing (TCHC) is excited to announce the launch of the Closing the Loop Pilot Program in the West Region.
Closing the Loop is a program that allows tenants to provide feedback on the performance of our vendors, particularly on quality of repairs and services.
After work orders are completed in your home, TCHC’s Client Care Centre agents may contact some tenants for feedback depending on the type of repairs. Your feedback will help us assess the vendor, identify areas for improvement and make sure that the services delivered meet your expectations. In the meantime, you can also call the Client Care Centre should you have any feedback on our vendors. Additional opportunities for all tenants to provide feedback on vendors will be available as we implement this program across all the TCHC regions.
For more information about this pilot program, contact your local TCHC staff or email help@torontohousing.ca.
