Leone said he installed synthetic grass because he is in his 80s, he's suffered a stroke, and has limited mobility – but the city is taking him to court.
"I cannot look after the real grass," he said in an interview with CTV News Toronto.
Stintz has been helping Leone, who called a bylaw officer to inspect the lawn. The bylaw officer gave approval last October. Now, Leone faces a charge for failure to comply with an order, despite the previous approval from a bylaw officer.Leone went to court on Tuesday, and has another date set for March 14. Stintz says he is now caught in a jurisdictional issue within the city.
Leone says he was told the primary issue with his artificial lawn was the lack of water flow, even though the turf has several holes allowing water to flow through easily.
