A DISTURBING REVELATION, INVOLVING THE CORRUPT ACTIONS OF THESE CITY DIVISIONS.

HOW ONE LANDLORD, WAS ABLE TO AVOID FACING CHARGES, OVER HER ILLEGAL ROOMING HOUSE, BY CORRUPT CITY OF TORONTO OFFICIALS, IN THE T.O. FIRE SERVICES, MUNICIPAL LICENSING STANDARDS AND BUILDING DIVISION. WHO ALL ACTED IN THE CONSPIRACY, TO ALLOW HER TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE HER PROPERTY, ILLEGALLY, AND CONTRARY TO CURRENT BYLAWS.
The implications to the public is also staggering, concerning those individuals actions. And especially those in the Toronto Fire Services. Not only are they dragging their feet, when it comes to laying any kind of charges against this landlord, for the numerous violations under the Ontario fire Code, including a lack of carbon monoxide detector in the basement apartment, initially, and having rented out areas of the house that she shouldn't have done,

Not only did they not lay any charges against this landlord, but those involved in the investigation of her property, also stood by and knowingly allowed her to continue to operate her property as an illegal rooming house, without either shutting it down immediately, or  giving her the usual 60 days notice to shut down the rooming house. Nor have they also indicated, that they might be shutting it down anytime soon. Instead of the Toronto Fire Services advising her to  put in a fire separation door immediately, or as soon as possible, to minimized the danger to the tenants, from a fire breaking out in the building, they instead told her to only "adjust the door", allowing for it to close on its own. This door of course is not the one that she is required under the law to install, with the proper thickness to withstand any heat from a fire. This is a just a regular door that leads to the basement apartment. This landlord has yet to install the proper fire separation doors, one on each floor of the building. Toronto Fire Services also conveniently, forgot to enforced the fire code against this landlord, for constructing a room off of the kitchen and renting it out to one of her tenants, who must also enter and exit from his room, through the kitchen. Because the room was also not a part of the original design of the house, this tenant also has one section of his wall constructed with a double glass doors, acting in place of an actual wall, by the owner of the building. Perhaps the most disturbing of all the illegal activities of those involved, is to allow the landlord, to continue to use her furnace room/laundry room, as a rental unit. The Toronto Fire Services inspectors involved, went so far as to lie on her behalf and claiming that during their inspection of the furnace room, especially, that it contained no furniture as were seen by them and also no one living in that room. This of course is also directly contradictory, to other tenants of the building, who have witnessed the very tenant living there on a daily basis. The Municipal Licensing Standards, have also not charged this landlord, or issued any notices to her to stop operating her illegal property, anytime soon. Despite the fact that MLS has also noted on their website, that a notice of violation was also issued for that address. The actual fact is that no such notices were issued, indicating when this landlord was required to stop her illegal activities.  This would also explained why none of the tenants of the illegal rooming house, were given any notices by the landlord to move out by the date, which should have also been provided to her by the MLS notice of violation. The actual notice that was issued indicated that MLS "may" take actions against her, if she continues to operate the property against the zoning bylaw. And also that Municipal Licensing Standards "will continue to monitor her activities every 30 days, in regards to her operating her illegal rental property. Nothing was mentioned in the notice, by MLS, about when she must stop this activity. Unlike the notice that was posted on the MLS website, which gave an actual date of March 18, for this landlord to be in compliance with the zoning bylaw. So why the discrepancy, in the information posted on the MLS website and what actions (or lack of it), were taken by the MLS officer, Muhammad Qamar?. The answer is that Muhammad Qamar is required by the law, to carry out his legal duty over the rooming house. He pretended to be carrying out his duty by posting on the MLS website, what he "intends to do", concerning the violation, though in fact, he has actually not gotten around to actually carrying this out. And by all indications, he is in no hurry to do so. How contradictory this is to other landlords who were issued notices of violation on the spot and also charged with those offences, by MLS, T.O. Fire Services, and Building Division?. As for Building's role in all of this, the investigator in charged of enforcing the Building Code, Karim Gilani, in regards to that landlord's property, simply closed the file on that property, on the very day that he should have also investigate it and also noted her in violation of the Building Code, for altering the building without a permit. Why are city officials acting so contrary to their legal duties, concerning this landlord?. Could it be a "payback" of some kind to her, for allowing them to carry out their illegal activities, concerning one or more of her tenants?. I believe the answer is yes, to that question. I believe that by allowing the Toronto Fire Services and the Toronto Police, access to her property, in order to carry out their illegal surveillance and also to try to force the tenant out on the street, as part of their targeting. That is, to repeatedly force a tenant to become homeless, they have also decided to turn a blind eye, to her other illegal activities, concerning her property. And because she also continues to give them access, directly, to such a tenant, despite the fact that she is also violating their rights to privacy and other violations, under other statues, they have also paid her back for her "loyalty" to them, by ignoring the fact that she has broken the law and is in fact endangering her tenants, by her current activities. Including, having two of her tenants occupying spaces that are strictly forbidden under the Ontario Fire Code and the Building Code. Those involved in this conspiracy, to allow her to continue to rent out those spaces, as rental units, seem to have missed the section of the law, that state that "... no furnace room, kitchen, dining room, living room, stairways, closets... are to be used as sleeping areas".  Turning a dining room/living room, off of the kitchen as a sleeping area and a rental unit for one of her tenants and again using the furnace room/laundry room, for another of her tenants to live in, would indicate a violation of those statues.  

Most shocking of all in regards to this investigation, is the fact that those at the very top, in regards to the Toronto Fire Services, such as the Fire Chief, Matt Pegg and the Deputy Fire Chief, Jim Jessop, knows about the actions of this landlord, in endangering the safety of her tenants and also the public. And have allowed her to continue with her actions, despite the danger to the tenants, when they also refused to enforced the various fire codes against her. The Toronto Fire Services and those Inspectors, Fire Captains, District Chiefs, Deputy Fire Chief and even the Fire Chief himself, involved in this investigation, have acted very corruptly, by continuing to allow a crooked landlord to operate her property illegally and also in such a manner, as to create a fire hazard to her tenants and anyone else in close vicinity to her illegal rooming house. Do they have the right to endanger public safety, by allowing those two tenants to remain where they are living (one in the dining/living room off the kitchen and the other in the furnace room/laundry room) and currently, to continue to endanger themselves and others around them?. Should more criminal charges not be laid against all of those involved in this investigation?. From the Fire Chief, all the way down to the inspector who carried out the inspection?. No one is above the law, but be advised that should anyone bring them before a court for their actions, they would most likely not be held accountable for their actions.  That is just the way that corruption is practiced in Canada. At the local level and the higher levels of government.  When the public read this article concerning the actions of those city officials, let it be as a means of prompting them to take further actions on their own and to hold those corrupt Toronto city officials responsible, for endangering public safety. Rest assured that my reports in this article is also based on evidence, that I have also obtained about this investigation, which are credible enough to be used as evidence in a court of law.  None of this is made up.  And the implications to those involved, in regards to this investigation, is all the more serious, because those evidence against them, and despite their public protest, will also be able to convict them, of any wrongdoings in this case. I believe that because of the positions that they hold in regards to their job titles, that goes along with their public duty, they should also be held accountable, in the court of public opinion. After all, they were appointed to act in the public's best interest and not the other way around. So far only two of those city officials involved are facing criminal charges, over their actions.  And there are more charges to follow, I presumed, from the look of things. It is also sickening to observe that those who are in charge of saving lives, are the very ones who are also doing things to endanger it. Like those in the Toronto Fire Services, presently.
