UPDATED: The residents of RidgeView Place, formerly known as Danbrook One, have once again been notified that 'due to ongoing life safety concerns' they should leave immediately.
Posted: Apr. 24, 2023 3:26PMFor the second time in under four years, residents of an issue-plagued rental building in Langford are being urged to leave immediately due to structural safety concerns.
In a news conference Monday, Langford Mayor Scott Goodmanson said the city was notified April 17 about a second investigation into the building by the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists. The governing body’s investigation found serious issues that may not have been resolved in the remediation work identified in the first round of issues.
On April 20, city officials told Centurion Property Associates, the current building owner, that it had an obligation to inform residents of the findings and obtain an assessment from a third-party structural engineer. The city said Centurion has notified residents of their options and will be ultimately responsible for ensuring they have the support they need, something Goodmanson repeatedly emphasized in the Monday news conference.
