(Eaton) Lofts at 276

While there's space next to the stairs for a small lift, I think the bigger issue the entrance from King St. There's a single step up from King St, looks to be a historical feature of the building. It may not get fixed as a part of this reno.

So is the photo taken at the back? I’m not very familiar with the building.

In any case, there is no excuse for single-step barriers to remain after a major renovation of this nature. I would certainly hope that it is an AODA violation (of the “you don’t open until it’s fixed” variety) to leave a single-step barrier in place.

Ontario Building Code, no need for AODA specifically. And I do expect they will need to do something, probably a small ramp. But the step is outside the unit, renovations are on the inside, and there are limited options what can be done. (And the photo is inside the unit, facing King St W.)
