"Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, July 31, 2001 - 13° He's given until Oct. 31 to repair balconies Landlord agrees to make repairs to Water St. By Chris Hall Port Perry Star A Port Perry landlord has agreed to make repairs to his Water St. building, which was declared unsafe last month. Peter Quan, who owns the commercial-residen- tial plaza located at the comer of the Water and Scugog St. intersection, appeared before the township's property stan- dards committee on Tuesday (July 24) after- noon. He had appealed a work order which was presented to him by: Scugog Township in June. After a complaint was filed at the township offices by one of the 35 tenants at the building, bylaw enforcement offi- cer Mark Stephenson vis- ited the site. He said he found large holes in some of the con- crete balconies, and determined there was a potential for some of them to fall onto the sidewalk below. Most of the balconies hang over store entrances. An order from the township meant Mr. Quan had until July 20 to reme- dy the situation. But the landlord appealed the order. On Tuesday, the prop- erty standards committee visited the building before holding a hearing at the township offices. "We dealt with the bal- conies and other proper- - ty standards issues in the work order, and came up with a recommendation to have the work com- pleted by the 3lIst of October," said Mr. Stephenson.
