Eviction forces closing of ESL 'dorm'
About 90 people, many of them foreign exchange students, must find new housing after the operators of a downtown Toronto “dormitory’’ and ESL centre were issued eviction notices.
The city calls it an illegal rooming house.
Dong and Joy Lee’s “Marina Centre,’’ near Yonge and Wellesley, features about 100 sparse 7-by-10-foot rooms crammed along several maze-like hallways.
Handwritten signs reading “Paris Avenue’’ and “Marrakech’’ are posted on hallway walls to help students navigate the facility, which is in what used to be a men’s bathhouse.

The tenants pay $400 a month.
Fees for English lessons range from an extra $350 a month for two hours per day, to $10,500 for a year of full-time instruction.
Alleging a number of violations, the building’s owner is kicking out the business and the Lees themselves, who also live there with their three sons.
The centre has been visited numerous times since it opened in March by city licensing and fire department officials, who issued notices on 25 violations. The Lees say they’ve worked hard to meet compliance orders, investing about $100,000 to upgrade the facility.
