After shivering inside their homes for a week, most of the tenants of an apartment building in midtown Toronto now have heat.
He said up to 80 per cent of the 200 or so residents of The Fleetwood at 64 St. Clair Ave. W., just west of Yonge Street, now have their heat restored.
Earlier this week, frustrated tenants at The Fleetwood reached out to Matlow as well as Mayor John Tory and local MPP Jill Andrew for help after making several unsuccessful attempts to contact building management and ownership about their concerns. “Bylaw enforcement officers are actively working with the property owner, management company, tenants and the tenant association group to resolve the issues with low heat. Staff have been on site, door knocking to check in on tenants in all the units, and engaging with tenants,” city spokesperson Mike Hajmasy said, adding the city also helped with the distribution of space heaters to tenants.
Building owners could be fined up to $100,000 or $10,000 a day if they are found guilty of property violations and do not take action to resolve them. They may also be required to pay a special fine for economic gains from the bylaw violation, Hajmasy noted.
