Trevor Sakamoto says city underfunding RCMP, bylaw officers and street thugs are taking advantage
The owner of a downtown nightclub forced to close after it was damaged by the Achillion restaurant explosion Aug. 22 has field a notice of claim against the City of Prince George.
Trevor Sakamoto, owner of Heartbreakers at 1192 Fifth Avenue, people have been allowed to take over city streets and alleyways where they’re free to use drugs, steal property and vandalize buildings seemingly without fear of repercussions. “The city is obligated to make sure the city is safe, healthy and that the people are looked after and that’s not happening,” Sakamoto said.
Heartbreakers was insured at the time of the explosion but Sakamoto said the policy covers only depreciated replacement costs. Electronic components, lighting equipment, carpeting and air conditioning units were damaged by dust and smoke that was sucked into his 10,000 square-foot building from rooftop vents from the explosion and subsequent fire and he faces having to replace many of those items before he can reopen his club.
