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.

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 1111 Danforth Avenue under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value according to the Statement of Significance and description of Heritage Attributes found in Attachment 3. Located on the south side of Danforth Avenue, east of Byron Avenue and west of Greenwood Avenue, the subject property at 1111 Danforth Avenue contains a two-storey buff brick building raised on a basement that was constructed in 1931 in the Neo-Gothic architectural style. The building was reconfigured from an unfinished apartment building to a funeral home when it was purchased by Lorne Willard Trull who engaged architect William Breden Galbraith (1885-1937) to redesign it for the Trull Funeral Home. In operation for over 100 years, the Trull Burial Company is one of the longest operating businesses on Danforth Avenue. The subject property is also associated with architect, William B. Galbraith, a prolific designer of substantial private houses located in the neighbourhoods of Forest Hill, Lawrence Park, Moore Park and Rosedale.

The Portlands Energy Centre is a 550 megawatt fossil natural gas electricity generating station located in the Port Lands. In September 2023, proposed upgrades to the facility were announced, which would expand its electricity generating capacity by 50 megawatts. In January 2024, the City provided comment and questions on a draft Screening Report under the environmental assessment process for the Portlands Energy Centre Upgrade project. In March 2024, a final Screening Report was released that did not address the City’s comments or questions. Requesting that the Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks elevate the Portlands Energy Centre beyond the environmental screening process, and require the facility to undergo a Comprehensive Environmental Assessment would: 1. Address a lack of information about future greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions from the facility, and their potential impacts on the local community. The City’s questions about quantities of future greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions were not answered in the Screening Report. Similarly, the Portlands Energy Centre Upgrade Screening Report does not identify the levels of air pollutants t…

The past weeks have caused confusion, anxiety and frustration for thousands of Torontonians. Vacant Home Tax notices landed in mailboxes of people who did not know the City was asking them to declare occupancy. People who live in their homes. People who have tenants living in units. They now believe they owe the City thousands of dollars when they don’t. That’s not fair. The design of the program was approved December 2021 and is clearly flawed. This has caused hardship, especially for seniors who can’t access online tools or those who cannot read English. How we administer the Vacant Home Tax program must be rebuilt from scratch. The Vacant Homes Tax exists for a good reason: to make more homes available to people. It’s meant to discourage speculators who leave units empty during our housing crisis. Homes that people could live in today. The funds we collect from speculators can be re-invested in more affordable housing, like the Multi-Unit Residential Acquisition program. We are fixing this mess. The Vacant Homes Tax needs to be administered in a simple, fair way. People need to know now that if their home was occupied last year, there is no need to pay.…

This report responds to a request from the Infrastructure and Environment Committee to undertake a comprehensive review of the various on-street parking administrative penalty amounts and to report back on revised administrative penalty amounts. Transportation Services has been working with a number of City agencies to review the Parking Violation Notices (PVN) issued by the City of Toronto and has conducted a jurisdictional scan of several Canadian municipalities to compare similar offences and their penalty amounts to those of the City of Toronto. As a result of this review, this report recommends Council approval to increase penalty amounts for 125 offences associated with 'parking', 'stopping' and 'standing'. The recommended increase in penalty amounts will ensure better alignment with penalty amounts in other jurisdictions, encourage compliance, ensure certain offences are set at levels commensurate with the seriousness of the offence, and ensure that offences within the same categories are set at the same penalty amount for consistency. City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 610, Penalties, Administration of, will need to be amended to reflect the new penalty amounts. This r…
