Presumably, yes, you may be correct. But if grandfathering requirement is any more than 30-40 years, I probably would've sold the place (or be dead) by then and I probably won't care.

Thanks rbt. I didn't know that's the purpose of the title insurance. My situation is actually the reverse of my hypothetical scenario. My neighbour has built a something without a permit. It is not affecting me right now, but I can foresee it being a problem in the distant future. We...

Hi All. A hypothetical scenario.. Let's say I bought a house. It has a driveway for the past 20 years and it was built without a permit. Also, the driveway violates a bylaw. A neighbour calls and complains about it. A week later, the city tells me to take the driveway down. Can I fight...

Mandarin speakers are outnumbering the Cantonese speakers in Toronto now. And some are filthy rich. :)

Way too small for that. Looks like a space for advertising, like a giant TV as someone suggested earlier in the thread. Any idea what's going to happen to the old building where McDonald's used to be?

The 2nd floor above 7-11 has been an eye sore for 2 months now. :mad:

I'm curious what they will do with the building just North of it, where McD currently resides. Since the new South building is only meant to exist for 15 years, then it only makes sense that whatever replacing the North building will expire in the same time period. This is so that whatever new...

Damn. I'm out of the country in July. 7-Eleven isn't big in Toronto. I guess they are trying to make a statement with this shop. This location must be $$$$. But I don't see myself shopping there very much. There is already a convenience store and a dollar store in Sheppard Centre. And the...

OMG. I just walked by and saw the permit behind the glass of the centre section. You wouldn't believe this. It's a 7-Eleven!?

How disappointing! I work across the street, and I thought there will be 3 new lunch places. I hope the middle one is a restaurant as well. I agree the 2nd floor is really weird. My coworkers and I think that it's a sitting area. Definitely not a jumbotron cuz now that the windows are up...
