The lot is presently insecure, fences which were originally erected during the demolition process have been allowed to fall into serious disrepair. Large quantites of material have never been removed and pose a serious safety hazard. The site is in need of grading to level and correct the ponding problems. .The Property Standards By-law requires the land to be "kept clean and free from rubbish or other debris and from all objects or conditions that may create a health, fire or safety hazard , as well, the land must be filled with suitable material or levelled so as to be level with the surrounding grade." The Waste Material By-law defines demolition material as industrial waste and prohibits the "dumping or disposing of garbage, refuse or domestic waste or industrial waste of any kind." As for the problem under the Sign By-law, the By-law requires that signs cannot be up until 60 days before the development is under way. At present there appears to be no action on the site. In order to resolve the above problems it will be necessary to remove all the debris from the site, grade and level the property and remove the sign.
