Toronto Mayor John Tory has vowed to get to the bottom of what's happening at the top of the Trump International Hotel and Tower Toronto.
A large swath of Toronto's financial district remained closed Tuesday morning due to an unstable antenna on top of the luxury hotel and condo that opened in January, 2012.
Tory says he has urged the owners of the building, Talon International Development, to do a better job of communicating with the city and the public.
The mayor says the closure has caused a substantial cost to the city in terms of deploying police and disruptions to businesses.
He wants the owners to be held accountable for their buildings if it is found it wasn't properly built or maintained.
Tory says he has been told there is no safety risk to the public.
The building's namesake is real estate mogul and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
