Toronto Building needs a permit for a deck more than 60 cm (24 in) above the ground, for basement work that changes the structure, adds plumbing or creates a unit, for new or modified heating and plumbing, and for a backwater valve. Replacing a furnace or boiler in a house, or repairing and replacing plumbing fixtures, needs none. Scarborough’s Toronto Building district office is at the Scarborough Civic Centre, 150 Borough Dr., by appointment.
