City's Bylaw enforcement

[emge]

Because it's great to see what's been accomplished is that buildings are not deteriorating any further..

I understand that's better than demolition by neglect, but if people don't even have to bring it up to code by a certain date after buying it, that's pathetic. Why is that OK, especially within the downtown boundaries?

There needs to be some time limits on how long one can own a property downtown without making the entire thing work. No more vacant properties held by speculators and allowed to rot.
