^ incidentally, I did email the city about that house.

Among other things in the response, they replied with:

"This property has been listed as a vacant building and is currently under
investigation by the City to ensure that it complies with by-laws
regarding vacant and boarded buildings."

According to the city by-laws, the city has to start going after the owner for neglect of a property. Following that, they can begin the process of trying to take the property from the owner.

Only AFTER this process happens, the city advertises for Expressions of Interest for potential redevelopment.

I read through the vacant buildings bylaw (79/2010) quickly, and GWL is obviously not meeting the maintenance requirements for this property...
