Sahotas fined for SRO violations, but punishment could have been worse GlobeBC
The court-approved settlement came after the Sahotas pleaded guilty to a “majority” of charges listed in a December, 2017, press release from the city, spokesman Neal Wells said last week in an e-mail.
The charges and violations fell under the city’s standards of maintenance and fire bylaws, which each provide for fines of up to $10,000 for every violation. Also for decades, there have been scores of health and safety violations at the buildings, including blocked fire escapes, rats, bedbugs and broken toilets.
The Sahotas withdrew their request for inquiry last month, Mr. Wells said, and negotiations are continuing.
