Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow announced that the city has used its remedial action powers to address longstanding issues at a rental building at 500 Dawes Rd. in east Toronto. The city undertook $200,000 in repairs, and the landlord has been fined. Chow stated, 'We're sending the bill to the landlord.' The building has been a source of complaints for years, with tenants reporting problems such as mold, pests, and maintenance neglect. The city's intervention aims to ensure safe living conditions for residents. The landlord has been given a deadline to reimburse the city for the repairs or face further legal action.
