RENTAL PROPERTY CORRECTIONS

Receiving an Order to Comply or a Property Standards Notice from the municipality is not a suggestion—it is a strict legal mandate that immediately threatens the operational viability and financial security of your rental asset. Failing to execute the exact remediation protocols within the municipality's rigid timelines exposes property owners to severe fines, legal liability, and prolonged vacancy. We do not merely react to municipal orders; we take absolute control of them. Our team dictates the path to compliance by engineering solutions that strictly adhere to the Ontario Building Code (OBC). We intercept the municipal red tape, execute the necessary structural and safety remediation, and secure final inspection sign-offs with uncompromising precision. When the municipality issues an order, we deliver the definitive resolution.

Step 1: Rapid Notice Assessment & Triage

The moment you receive a notice, our project managers conduct a comprehensive site visit to assess the municipality's demands. We cross-reference the inspector’s report with the existing property conditions to build a precise, actionable scope of work. Our goal is to address the exact infractions without upselling unnecessary renovations.

Step 2: Strategic Permitting & OBC Compliance Planning

Compliance is non-negotiable. We draw up remediation plans that strictly adhere to the Ontario Building Code (OBC). Typical rental property corrections require deep expertise in specific code sections, and we ensure every repair meets or exceeds these legal standards:

OBC Part 11 (Renovations): Ensuring that structural upgrades to existing buildings meet current safety performance levels.
OBC Section 9.9 (Means of Egress): Verifying that secondary suites have legal, unobstructed exit routes and properly sized egress windows.
OBC Section 9.10.9 (Fire Separations): Upgrading drywall and fire-stopping materials to ensure the legally required fire-resistance rating (typically 30 to 45 minutes) between dwelling units.

Step 3: Safe, Tenant-Conscious Execution

Rental properties are active homes, meaning safety and discretion are our top priorities. We execute the required construction while strictly adhering to the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA).

Zero-Compromise Safety Policy: Before any tools are lifted, we establish secure work zones, implement daily safety checklists, and ensure full PPE compliance.
A Culture of Prevention: Because of our rigorous hazard-assessment protocols, we are proud to report zero injuries and zero near-misses across our remediation projects. We protect our crew, your property, and your tenants.

Step 4: Final Inspection Coordination & Order Discharge

We don't just finish the physical work; we manage the administrative finish line. We coordinate directly with the municipal building inspectors to review the completed corrections. Because our work is meticulously aligned with the OBC from day one, we consistently pass inspections on the first walkthrough, resulting in the immediate lifting of the municipal order.

A Commitment to Excellence

At the core of our operations is an uncompromising commitment to excellence that extends far beyond basic municipal compliance. We view an Order to Comply not merely as a legal hurdle, but as a critical mandate to permanently elevate the safety, value, and structural integrity of your asset. Our flawless operational record—highlighted by zero workplace injuries and zero near-misses—is not a byproduct of luck; it is the direct result of rigorous oversight, elite technical execution, and a corporate culture that demands perfection on every site. By merging deep expertise in the Ontario Building Code with aggressive project management, we guarantee that your property doesn't just meet the minimum legal requirements, but sets the standard for structural resilience. We defend your investment, protect your revenue stream, and eliminate your regulatory liability with absolute certainty.
