Questions
Answered from the City’s apartment register and its RentSafeTO inspection record.
How many rentals are in Chinatown?
Ten purpose-built rental buildings in Chinatown are on the City's apartment register, which covers every purpose-built rental of three or more storeys and ten or more units. It does not include condominium units rented out individually, which are not on any public register.
What is a good RentSafeTO score?
The City inspects common areas, mechanical systems and building records, and scores each building out of 100. Its own bands are satisfactory from 85, needs improvement from 70, and needs significant improvement below that. The median here is 88 and the best is 98. This site publishes the City's number as published and does not grade anything itself.
Is there affordable housing here?
Two of the ten buildings on this page are Toronto Community Housing or social housing. Those are allocated from a waiting list rather than advertised, so they are not rented the way a market apartment is. The remaining eight are private rentals.
