The owner of a small Cook Street apartment building has been granted an extension to bring his property up to fire code.
After council last week issued a remedial action order demanding Good fix up his property before the city stepped in to do it for him, Good appealed, saying the work was underway. In a letter to council, Good said he was puzzled by the order as he had already replaced the fire panel and insisted the rot in the back fire escape had been removed and the stairway was safe.
It also noted that if the city were to step in and finish the work in compliance with all regulations and codes, it would likely take just as long to complete. Sabell said the building has been in a regular state of disrepair and fire safety protection systems have not been maintained.
