Bâtiments délabrés à Sherbrooke: 100 000$ d’amendes depuis avril
AI Article Summary
Since April, the city of Sherbrooke has issued fines totaling $100,000 to owners of rundown properties. The inspector appointed for this task has prepared around a hundred infraction notices, and several non-compliance notices have been issued. Most owners have taken corrective action following the notices. The municipality may turn to the Superior Court to enforce repairs or consider expropriations if violations persist.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project demonstrates how municipalities can actively monitor and regulate building maintenance to protect real estate heritage and public safety. For Quebec builders, this means non-compliance can lead to high costs and increased legal pressure. Contractors should ensure that their projects adhere to safety standards and municipal requirements to avoid costly penalties.
