What is an 'order to comply'?

An order to comply is a written directive from a property standards officer that requires the owner to take specific steps to bring the property into compliance with the applicable property standards by-laws and regulations. It sets out what must be done, by when, and can involve actions by other people (such as contractors or tenants) and may even require changes in occupancy to achieve compliance. It’s more binding than a simple notice or request and is enforceable, with penalties or further enforcement if the owner fails to comply.
