Delays in fixing "significant" building code deficiencies at a Brandon apartment complex that has been nearly empty since 2012 were caused in part by consultants working on the project, according to documents obtained by CBC News.
The documents relate to Princess Towers, an 11-storey Manitoba Housing apartment complex in the southwestern Manitoba city. They were requested through freedom of information, and show the building has been nearly empty since December 2012.
Manitoba Housing aimed to have tenants back in the building in 2015. However, the updates to the ventilation system did not meet code. Addressing those problems caused "significant delays."
"We're going on seven years now," said Brandon city councillor Kris Desjarlais. "If they really wanted it to be a priority I think it would have been done by now."
