Worried About Legal Basement Apartments in Toronto - Help!

I'm renting a basement apartment and I have serious safety concerns. How do I verify if my landlord has the proper city permits for this unit? I've noticed unusual lease clauses and strange requests from my landlord that make me question if this place is legal or safe. What should I look out for?
