Sir: I am glad that there is a property standards bylaw. On my street alone, they’ve enforced the tearing down of a crumbling shed filled with garbage, broken glass and needles, and cleaned up a backyard so filled with garbage, it took several dumpster loads to haul it all away.
Another building I wish they would tear down is the old Aberdeen Hotel site. It is an eyesore. The stucco structure is so filled with cracks and patches that they’ve had to riddle it with randomly placed metal rivets to hold it together. I cringe every time I walk by it and wonder if a piece is going to fall on me. Is there a potential safety issue here?
