Residents of Boardwalk Centre, the highrise at Jasper Avenue and 90 Street, are pushing for immediate repairs and compensation after a late-July storm caused significant water damage across multiple units.
Nikita Butakov, who lives on the 17th floor, saw the wall on his balcony destroyed when the storm hit, sending bricks falling from his unit. Others like Jensen Maitland and Amanda Proudfoot say Boardwalk has not been cooperative with their insurance companies, complicating the claims process.
As of now, the city has not disclosed how many units were damaged across the building or provided a timeline for repairs. Residents are frustrated by the lack of communication and want clear answers on when Boardwalk will restore their homes and cover the costs of the damage.
