The renovation is taking place on Caledon Crescent in Peel Village, not far from the city’s downtown.
The homeowner has received a building permit for the work but the construction has sparked local anger nonetheless. One neighbour posted a video of the work that’s been widely shared on social media.

“This is not fair, this is what I have to live with.”
The neighbour asked Global News not to appear on camera, citing concerns about her young daughter.
