What is an 'order to remedy'?

An order to remedy is a formal written directive from a property standards officer that requires the owner or person responsible to fix specific deficiencies so the property meets the applicable by-laws, within a set timeframe. It specifies exactly what must be corrected, the actions required, and the deadline for compliance. It’s not a mere suggestion or limited to cosmetic issues; it targets actual violations that affect the property’s safety, habitability, or standards. If compliance isn’t achieved, further enforcement actions can follow.
