Condo — exempt from RentSafeTO inspections & signs
No City rating
This building has no RentSafeTO score — and never will under current rules.

The City's evaluation program covers purpose-built rental buildings only. Condos are exempt, so no inspection score and no colour-coded sign exist for this address. Resident reviews are the only record. Why condos have no signs →

Our read — from public records & cited coverage
  • Concord tower (2021) above the flagship Loblaws; the most negatively-reviewed of the newer Fort York towers in 2025 Reddit threads - five independent resident accounts across three threads
  • Reported issues: a March 2025 flood that disabled elevators for days, chronic elevator breakdowns, a summer-long A/C outage, pest complaints, heavily-used amenities, and slow maintenance
  • First occupied after November 2018, so no rent-increase guideline; residents report steep renewal increases in recent years
  • One multi-year resident dissents and reports a fine experience - the split is noted
