BuildingCheckToronto

Your condo tower
will never get a sign.

Toronto's RentSafeTO program — the inspections, the scores out of 100, the green/yellow/red signs now posted at rental building entrances — covers purpose-built rental buildings only. Condominiums are exempt, even when the unit you're renting is in one.

That exemption covers roughly half the rental market: over 200,000 condo units in the Toronto area are rented long-term. For those buildings there is no City evaluation, no maintenance score, and no sign — and the issues that matter most in condo towers are exactly the ones that stay invisible until you've signed: chronic elevator outages, short-term-rental churn, special assessments, Kitec plumbing, underfunded reserve funds, management companies that don't respond.

What is checkable for condos: short-term-rental registrations (City open data, on every building page here), Condominium Authority Tribunal decisions, building permits — and the experience of people who live there. That last one is what this site collects.

Lived in a condo tower? Your review is the only rating your building will ever get.
