Tenants of the rundown Coachman Apartments complex in Terrace, most of whom evacuated after freezing temperatures caused water pipes to burst throughout the building in December, are now being told it’s unsafe to live in the building.
The Ksan Society non-profit social service agency in Terrace is taking the lead on finding new housing for those tenants. Despite safety concerns expressed by the BCCDC, the city has not made the evacuation of the building mandatory.that he doesn’t want to force people to do anything they don’t want to do “but there’s a point where people are being told that this is not a place that you want to live right now.
“Hopefully they’re paying for fewer and fewer people to be in hotels because as they find places for people to live we’re not going to need hotels for those folks.”The assessment also noted that the mould will continue to spread until the source of dampness is controlled and the interior is thoroughly dried, according to information provided by the housing ministry.
But the mayor expressed some frustration with the pace of things, saying he’s been treated like “a ministerial hot potato” by the province. “At that point in time, I felt like there was a little bit of a plan, that there might have been a possibility that the city could get in there, but they can’t. We just don’t have the authority and, quite frankly, we just don’t have the capacity.”
