Property Standards By-Law Number 856-79

"Property" means a building or structure or part of a building or structure, and includes the lands and premises appurtenant thereto and all mobile homes, mobile buildings, mobile structures, outbuildings, fences and erections thereon whether heretofore or hereafter erected, and includes vacant property.


No owner of property shall maintain or permit to be maintained, occupy or permit to be occupied, use or permit the use of, rent or offer to rent any property which does not comply with the provisions and regulations setforth in Schedule "A" and any property which does not comply, shall be repaired and maintained to comply with the standards set out in said Schedule "A" or the site thereof shall be cleared of all buildings, structures, debris and refuse, and left in a graded and levelled condition.

With the announcement at the last Town Council meeting of a tax incentive of $20,000 per unit that the owner of the property owns and demolishes to replace with new units, I must ask why this Town By-Law is seemingly being bended without making a change to the By-Law.  The tennants of 1010 Dundas St. E. have filed a complaint with the By-Law department on the proper By-Law complaint form in regards to 8 abandoned/discarded trailers.  It appears that these trailers are simply being boarded up instead of "the site thereof shall be cleared of all buildings, structures, debris and refuse, and left in a graded and levelled condition.
