The appellant, 1679676 Ontario Inc., appealed a Property Standards Order issued by the City of Toronto concerning three apartment buildings.
The order cited defects related to lighting and building access security.
The court, hearing the matter de novo, modified the order by deleting items related to lighting that the appellant had already complied with.
However, the court confirmed the remaining items, rejecting the appellant's argument that the three buildings constituted a single "complex" for security purposes under the Toronto Municipal Code.
The court affirmed the requirement for individual building security measures, including self-closing/locking doors and two-way communication systems for each building.
