01The building
RentSafe is the City's inspection program for apartment buildings with 3+ storeys and 10+ units. This building scored 91 out of 100 when last evaluated (Jul 15, 2025). That's lower than 62% of evaluated buildings in Toronto.
The City has no building permits on record for this address. About 9 in 10 Toronto addresses also had none in the last 5 years.
It isn't listed or designated on the City's Heritage Register.
02Risks and environment
TRCA's maps show this address is outside the areas that could flood from rivers in a major storm (TRCA plans for a storm like Hurricane Hazel in 1954) and outside lake shoreline hazards. Basement flooding from overloaded sewers can still happen anywhere in the city.
In postal area M6E, 15 of 434 home tap-water samples (3.5%) tested above Ontario's limit for lead (10 micrograms per litre). Across Toronto, 2.0% of samples did, so M6E is higher than the city overall. Health Canada recommends a stricter limit of 5 micrograms per litre: 47 samples here (11%) were above it. These are voluntary tests, mostly from older homes, so they don't tell you about this house. Lead comes from old pipes and plumbing, not the City's treatment plants. Buildings with more than six units don't have lead service pipes.
TRCA mapping is for screening, not site-specific decisions. Lead results are voluntary samples from homes in the postal area, not this address.
