80 Guestville Avenue - Revoking a Building Permit - by Councillor Frances Nunziata, seconded by Councillor Paula Fletcher

Nov 14, 2024
Description

The landlord of 80 Guestville Avenue has issued 26 N13 notices to tenants, claiming the need to renovate their units. Although building permits have been issued, no work has started on any unit, indicating a likely renoviction—an increasingly common tactic landlords use to evict tenants and raise rents. The Building Department has the authority to revoke a building permit if work has not begun within six months of issuance. Revoking these permits would halt the evictions and protect tenants from displacement. This motion is deemed urgent as N13 notices have been issued, and time is critical to prevent tenants from facing eviction.
