Dawes Road Tenants' Association (aka Dawes ACORN Tenants' Association)
Working w/ Toronto ACORN to advocate for Tenants along Dawes Rd in East York, Toronto Toronto, OntarioJoined July 2024
The scene outside of 500 Dawes Road this afternoon.
Canada Post recently announced that door-to-door delivery inside the building is being suspended due to health and safety concerns
The Landlord has given tenants no update as to when the concerns will be addressed
#TOpoli
Yet again, Canada Post has advised tenants at 500 Dawes that they are suspending delivery to the building due to "health and safety concerns" identified by a Canada Post Delivery Agent"
Another reason why @cityoftoronto
must step in & deploy remedial action at 500 Dawes
#TOpoli
I really appreciated speaking with tenants from across our city with @TorontoACORN this evening about our recent victories on RentSafe at city council and the hard work we have in front of us to protect renters’ health, safety and affordability.
Join @TorontoACORN for the People's Assembly for Healthy Homes!
WHEN:
Wednesday, August 13th
6:30 P.M. - 8:30 P.M
WHAT: A spirited discussion on what's being done to improve Tenant Protections at City Hall.
WHERE: Wellesley Community Centre - 495 Sherbourne St. TO

Today, July 31st, the City of Toronto's renoviction bylaw (Rental Renovation Bylaw) comes into effect.
We have been working on and advocating for this bylaw since 2018. We hope we never have to help a tenant fight a renoviction again.

ACORN has been demanding action on 500 Dawes Rd for months. With a RentSafe score of just 28%, the landlord has faced few consequences. Now, Mayor Chow is backing stronger remedial action after our walkthrough. Keep the pressure on with our online action!: buff.ly/TvDP0Zb
TODAY:
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow is coming to walkthrough 500 Dawes Road; owned by notorious landlord, Carolyn Goodman.
Over 246 property standards violations registered on title (including Building Code violations).
Join us at 11:45am
#TOpoli
In anticipation of @MayorOliviaChow's visit with tenants at 500 Dawes Rd. (July 22nd), we've inspected units and common areas from top to bottom.
Tenants are optimistic about steps the City (under Mayor Chow's leadership) is taking to address serious by-law violations
#TOpoli
Toronto @MayorOliviaChow will be visiting with residents at 500 Dawes Rd to assess the many property standards violations at the apartment complex
We thank Mayor Chow for standing up for tenants who want an affordable and livable home

The cost of doing business should be that of the landlord.
Especially when it relates to retrofits that save the Landlord Money, are funded in part by government grants, and are deductable on the Landlord's income taxes.

Fascinating. The amount of time @BradMBradford has spent ignoring the deplorable living conditions of people in his own Ward; virtually absent for the entirety of Council's questions to MLS staff regarding their failure to respond to tenants, as detailed in an Ombudsman's Report.
