As the city filed it

This weekend there was armed invasion at 48 Saulter Street and this is evidential of the ongoing issues that have been occurring here. Many neighbours of 48 Saulter St. have contacted my office regarding the issues with the Short-Term Rental operating at this address including noise, building code violation, and STR bylaw violations over the last two years. Since 2022, the amplified noise from 48 Saulter has been extremely disruptive.

The resident's have presented a petition to close the Short-Term Rental given that the operators have not been compliant with the bylaw and have continued to negatively affect the community. There is also a currently an order issued from Toronto Buildings issued for work being completed without a permit. Reason for urgency: A recent armed home invasion at 48 Saulter St has led to serious community concern. The issue needs to be addressed quickly before more incidents occur.
