Title: Massive Construction for Solar Panels with No Notice!
Post by: josephs on October 13, 2021, 04:54:09 pm

We've just had a difficult day in our Akelius building - apparently they are installing solar panels on the roof of all of their buildings, but they are not giving tenants advanced warning of the very complicated and noisy delivery process, involving using a large crane to move items to the roof.

Landlords are supposed to keep tenants informed of "capital projects", because Toronto has a bylaw requiring all landlords to inform tenants about major projects such as this (Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 354 (https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/municode/toronto-code-354.pdf)-3.2.B, Tenant notification procedures, "The following information shall be posted [...] major capital projects and all information related to: (a) the nature of the project; (b) duration of the project; and (c) rental units, if any, impacted by the project;")

Akelius is brazenly ignoring this bylaw (as usual!)
