Dear Editor,
Follow up to the letters on street parking in residential neighbourhoods.
When will the city start enforcing building permits and bylaws in regards to secondary suites?
Last summer there were two houses in my cul-de-sac that had secondary suites built with no plumbing or electrical permits issued.
I personally saw major plumbing, electrical and structural work being performed.
When I called the city to inquire, I was lectured about the housing crisis.
Not only does this put neighbouring structures at risk, it also puts unsuspecting renters in a precarious position.
I call on city staff and council to create a housing strategy that doesn't pit neighbour against neighbour!
