38 Main Street East Update – October 18, 2024

Last week, the Municipality’s Chief Building Official (CBO) issued a Stop Work Order on the 38 Main Street East property. An Order to Comply was also issued for the property owner to provide a revised evaluation report and design prepared by a Professional Engineer due to the owner not following the previously accepted remediation plan.

The compliance deadline was October 16 and the property owner has not complied with this most recent order.

Due to this, to protect public safety, the CBO has decided to exercise his authority to take over control of the project.

The CBO solicited quotes for both demolition and repair to the building and has chosen the option to repair the building in order to stabilize the structure so that the public safety hazard is eliminated and the road can be fully reopened.

CEL has been hired as the engineering firm to carry out the work, which is the same engineering firm previously hired by the property owner. CEL will begin the work next week.

Details regarding the scope of work and the cost to the Municipality will be provided in an additional update to the public next week. Costs associated with all of these works will be invoiced back to the property owner. The Municipality has a few different tools to collect the costs from the property owner.
