Someone bought a century home in Saint John and is allowing it to rot. The buyer apparently lives in Toronto and doesn't care that the building is falling apart.

This is shitty. Someone has the money for "an investment", which means other people don't get somewhere to live.

Seems like y'all having a terrible time in general with this.

I'll pull out the relevant bit:

At the time, PMV's chief operating officer, Dave Loten, said the company would renovate many of the buildings and demolish a handful that were in poor condition. But the company quickly ran afoul of city inspectors after several of the properties were discovered to be vacant, often open, and in disrepair. Over the past two years the company has quietly sold off a list of its remaining properties in the city.

Ahh, the ol' "I pwomise I'll do it!" trick. Works literally every time.

The regulations should say "finish the work, pass inspections, and get some tenants. then we'll cut you some slack".
