What is Retrofit?
There are two main Retrofit Sections of the Ontario Fire Code which landlords will be required to comply with: Retrofit Section 9.5; dealing with lowrise residential buildings, any building from a triplex up to and including a six storey building and Retrofit Section 9.8; dealing with duplex dwellings.

The retrofit provisions are based on a minimum level of life safety for occupants of existing buildings and is the responsibility of the owner of the property to ensure compliance with the retrofit regulation and requirements.

Should you require additional clarification or if you have further questions please call 519.752.0540 for assistance.
