Residents at 700 King Street East, a building owned by Medallion Corporation, said the water turned cold last Thursday. By the next day, they said there was no water at all.

Note to self: never rent from a Medallion-owned building.

What the hell is up with these turkeys? First unsafe balconies, then roaches, now no hot water.

Maybe the building code is at fault in this case. It might be possible that they where only required to provide a single hot water boiler. A 20 story tower would never be allowed to only have a single elevator but the building code might permit a single boiler. If that is the case then the building code needs to be updated ASAP.

Building to the minimum code is always happening and I'm sure developers lobby hard to relax building codes and standards all the time to cut their costs.
