The goal is to provide the public with access to information related to by-law violations, their details and status, within common areas and individual units of rental apartment buildings. In addition, this site contains useful information that can help identify the responsibilities of property owners, tenants and Municipal Licensing & Standards officers, where and how to lodge a complaint and how to contact your local ML&S district office. This site does not contain information about properties that are co-ops, rooming houses, rental condominiums, row housing or 'bachelorettes'.
Community Standards Committee
Purpose
Like every urban neighbourhood, the Grange has its fair share of noise, graffiti, and litter. We are also situated in the centre of the downtown of Canada's largest city and our neighbourhood has many sites and features that attract tourists, businesses, residents. Every day, thousands of people travel to, from or through the Grange by car, on foot, or on streetcars, buses and bikes. Our neighbourhood regularly hosts film companies, parades, and other large-scale events. It is a residential neighbourhood, a business centre, and a tourist destination. We host OCAD University and the University of Toronto, the Art Gallery of Ontario, one of Toronto's Chinatowns, the hospital district, and part of Queen Street West.
The Community Standards Committee of the GCA works to maintain the liveability and maintenance of the neighbourhood while ensuring that this diversity of activity is welcomed in our neighbourhood.
Tasks
The Community Standards Committee of the GCA focuses on:
- property and boulevard standards;
- graffiti;
- noise control;
- the impact of filming on residents, visitors and businesses;
- traffic, cycling, pedestrian and parking issues; and
- impacts from the entertainment district to the south.
We work with the Police, City hall, local business improvement associations and other community organizations.

The Rooming House Chapter states that no person shall use, permit to be used, rent or offer to rent any rooming house unless a rooming house licence is in force. Rooming houses are only legal in the former City of Toronto. In the former City of Etobicoke, there are licensed lodging houses which are licensed by Toronto Public Health. In the former Cities of North York and Scarborough, rooming houses are illegal. If you believe that there is an illegal rooming house in your neighbourhood, please contact your District Office and an Officer will investigate the complaint. |
