A Make Safe Order was issued to the property owner on June 24 of this year.
According to the city of London, “If building is determined to be unsafe, a Make Safe Order (under the Building Code Act) can be issued,” said Patti McKague, with the city. “That requires the property owner to take actions that will ensure the building is safe.”
If the building poses a risk, the chief building official can secure the building by choosing to renovate, repair or demolish it at the expense of the property owner.
