☕Are you opening a café or a restaurant? Check out the space before you rent it.

You’ve found the right location, agreed on the rent, and are planning the renovation. But is this particular space suitable for your business?

Before you commit financially, you need to consider:

✓ Permitted land uses and the possibility of establishing a residence.
✓ Building code compliance and land use.
✓ Any restrictions imposed by the apartment building’s bylaws.
✓ Layout, ventilation, restroom facilities, and accessibility requirements.
✓ Fire safety requirements.
✓ Additional requirements for music and outdoor seating in common areas, where applicable.

📋Notifying OpenBusiness of business operations requires that the requirements applicable to the specific business be met. Electronic submission does not resolve any issues with the property.

At CITY ENGINEERING, we handle the preliminary technical inspection of the site, the required studies and plans, as well as support for the notification process.

📩 Before you sign a lease or start any work, please contact us. Let’s see if the space fits your business plan.
