Engineering & Construction Services – Complaints & Compliments

For a City of Toronto-led Construction-related Inquiry or Complaint

If you have an inquiry, complaint, or concern with a specific construction project that is being delivered by the City of Toronto you can either:

• Phone or email the contact person for the project as shown in the Construction Notice or bulletin that was delivered to local residents and businesses. This notice can also be found on the Ward map.
• Call 311 and inquire who to contact for the project
• Contact the construction inspection staff located at the project site

The inspector or the contact person will contact you within two business days and follow up on your question or complaint. They will work directly with the contractor in the field to answer your question or to resolve your complaint quickly.

If you are not sure if a project is being delivered by the City of Toronto; for example, the utility companies (for example, Bell, Rogers, Enbridge, Hydro) are also engaged in construction activity and TOInview is a map-based tool to search an area of the city to determine the correct construction contract for a construction project.

Unsatisfied with Result?

If your question or complaint requires additional time and effort to resolve; or if you are not satisfied with the solution provided by our front-line staff, you can ask the staff to escalate the complaint to their Manager (or designate) for resolution.

If the complaint is still not resolved, the Manager will involve the Director to resolve the complaint.

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint following a response from the Director, and wish to pursue it further, please write or email the Chief Engineer and Executive Director of Engineering & Construction Services who will review the complaint. If you contact the Chief Engineer’s office prior to working with the Manager or Director, your complaint will be sent to them for resolution first.

All complaints will be acknowledged within 48 hours of receipt.
