The standards used when that building was built never exist that are require today. It was built for freight trains like most buildings decades ago.

1800 Davenport was just built very recently - around 2018. It's all industrial/commercial, so fewer requirements for setbacks or crash walls (from what I understand...)

I cannot stop laughing at the "Gustav Mahler" graffitti. Oh no! If we let Metrolinx build this guideway then we'll be overrun by disaffected teens and their notorious love of early modernist composers
