Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 354, Apartment Buildings outlines maintenance and operational standards for purpose-built rental buildings with three or more storeys and ten or more rental units. These standards are enforced through the City's RentSafeTO: Apartment Building Standards program, which aims to strengthen compliance with City bylaws, enhance tenant engagement and access to information, and promote proactive maintenance in apartment buildings to prevent the deterioration of critical housing stock. At its March 25, 2022 meeting, Planning and Housing Committee adopted 2022.PH32.4 – RentSafeTO Update Report and directed Municipal Licensing and Standards (MLS) to report back on directives pertaining to the program’s fee structure and evaluation tool design, in addition to requests made by Executive Committee ( 2022.EX30.2 ) in February 2022.

On March 29, 2023, MM5.3 – Place Names in the Port Lands was adopted by City Council. Since then, City staff have been working with an Indigenous engagement consultant and Elder to design the engagement related to this work. The process, which will include a place naming advisory circle, will result in a recommended Indigenous name for the Island and a list of proposed names for streets and parks, to be considered by City Council in the fall of 2024. A permanent name for the Island will be needed in the early fall as Waterfront Toronto is expected to complete their Port Lands Flood Protection project’s river excavation work. The park and street names will be required by the end of 2024. In addition, this can provide future opportunities for the City to collaborate with Indigenous communities and use their leadership for a number of projects including affordable rental housing and economic development initiatives. The neighbourhoods, parks and public realm that are taking shape in the Port Lands offer a unique moment to support Indigenous cultural revitalization and to integrate Indigenous knowledge systems, oral histories, protocols, and connections to the land into th…

Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 547, Licensing and Registration of Short-Term Rentals regulates short-term rental activity by requiring short-term rental operators to be registered and short-term rental companies to be licensed with the City and abide by operational standards and regulatory requirements. The regulations - in conjunction with zoning provisions - permit property owners and tenants who are registered as short-term rental operators to rent their principal residence (i.e. where they ordinarily reside) for a period of less than 28 consecutive days. The primary principles of Chapter 547 are to limit short-term rental activity to principal residences and to protect critical rental housing stock by maintaining access to long-term accommodation for tenants. This report responds to City Council direction to provide an update on the implementation of the City's short-term rental regulations and assess their impact on Toronto's short-term rental market. The report provides an overview of program data and revenues, contextualized by new research conducted by experts from the School of Urban Planning at McGill University, and outlines bylaw interpretation challenges and the City'…

Carjackings and automobile thefts have more than doubled year to date in 2024. Toronto Police Services have reported that there have been 68 carjackings so far this year - an alarming 106 per cent increase over the same time period in 2023. Auto thefts in 2023 topped 12,200 vehicles, an increase from 9,821 cars stolen in 2022. As the increase in car jackings demonstrates, auto thefts have become increasingly brazen and violent including break-and-enters related to auto theft that are on the rise and have already climbed to 34 incidents so far this year, eclipsing the 22 reported for all of 2023. There is more that needs to be done to combat this urgent and escalating crisis. After unacceptable delays in action, the Provincial and Federal governments have finally begun the process to end this epidemic – but we must act swiftly and decisively. It is clear to all levels of government that these thefts are part of a network of organized crime, with vehicles being stolen and shipped internationally. In addition to actions addressing the vulnerabilities at our shipping ports and in the antiquated anti-theft technologies that are offered by automobile manufacturers; more effective…

Small businesses across Toronto are facing an unprecedented wave of criminal break and enters that are affecting the daily lives of these business owners who are already struggling to recover and survive in the post-COVID environment. These small businesses owners are our friends and neighbours and help make up the fabric of our main street communities keeping them vibrant and ensuring that we have opportunities to shop local. Taken on their own, these selfish crimes may seem petty, but they are happening at an alarming rate and have a devastating impact on small business owners who may not be able to afford security guards or sophisticated alarm systems. These break-ins cause a disproportionate impact on the cost of repairs, lost business and increased insurance to name a few. On February 7, 2024, Council passed my motion MM14.16 - Summit to Solve the Epidemic of Criminal Break-and-Enters Against Small Business in the City of Toronto. On March 1, 2024, I organized and hosted the Summit attended by Toronto Police Service, Toronto Association Business Improvement Areas, many Business Improvement Areas and small business along with retail industry associations and a payments provide…
