Tonight, three more entries for their attention will be delivered as part of tonight's Regular Council Session.
The Three properties listed for attention tonight, are located on 11th Avenue East, McBride Street and Eighth East.
Their state of disrepair and the steps taken thus far by the city are the subject of three reports from Rosa Miller, the City's Director of Corporate and Legislative Services and Corporate Officer.
Two of the properties are residential, one commercial with residential space.

I see all three on a regular basis and all are most worthy of this recognition.
ReplyDeleteOK so we didn’t have to create any new laws to start this process. My question is: Why did it take so long? I watched council meetings for the last 8 years and watched the council heaping praise on city staff. Sometimes a carrot doesn’t work, think about asking questions. What are we doing on this file?What is the expected timeline? Who is responsible for oversight?
ReplyDeleteThey need to keep this going and come down hard on these property owners because there are a lot more derelict buildings that need to be torn down and the property owner sent the bill by way of property tax.
ReplyDeleteHave we started a new cell at the dump?
DeleteAgreed, my neighbours house needs to come down. I’ve already put in a complaint and got no response. It’s abandoned, boarded up and full of mice and mold.
DeleteAbout time. Never understood why the City hadn't enforced it's Property Maintenance Bylaw no 3297. There are so many derelict properties in the city occupied and unoccupied. Wonder what the tourists who take a trolley car city tour think? Some years back councillor Barry Cunningham brought the subject up but it never went anywhere. Guess it's more profitable/easier to collect $35.00 fines for parking without a pass at Rushbrook than it is to collect a $2000.00 fine for keeping an unsightly property.
ReplyDeleteThey should also be onto sea cans around town, crab traps, construction debris in yards for years, derelict vehicles and overgrown properties.
ReplyDeleteYellow paint on curbs and centrelines which most municipalities take for granted elsewhere is a rarity here.
Writing letters is one thing, surprise everyone and clean up the town.
ReplyDeleteI’m a relative newcomer. I refer to Rupert as Trash Town.
ReplyDeleteThe hill below the mall. Literally any hill anywhere. Hays Mountain may as well be Trash Drop for Garbage People.
I came from down south years ago and thought it was a dirty town but after some years… yeah, Trash Town. Not a lot of civic pride here. Yes, there is some and well done to those who care but generally, it’s kind of sub-par.
