Hôtel Albert owner Lionel Cuggia confirmed that Régie du bâtiment du Québec is ordering the eviction of 25 tenants of the area. The verdict was handed down on Friday.
A eviction notice was issued in recent weeks to the owner of the building located at the corner of King Estrie and Bowen streets. According to the Régie du bâtiment du Québec, the area does not respect the Building Code, among other things in terms of fire safety.
Mr. Cuggia argues that it is the lack of a fire door that is the problem. However, these doors are in order, but the delays to get them are longer.
According to the information obtained, there is no set date for eviction of tenants, but it can take place. from this week. Also, RBQ representatives were in the area on Monday and Tuesday to ask tenants to leave alone. On Wednesday, municipal authorities will enforce the verdict for those who do not leave the Hôtel Albert.
Faced with the fear of being evicted, Hôtel Albert tenants are more disciplined according to the owner. For example, it no longer systematically broke all the repairs made. The entrances are also free of all trash and the fire safety system is working. Not everything is perfect, that’s for sure. But I feel a collaboration that didn’t exist beforesaid Mr. Cuggia.
More details to come.
