Draft Safe Premises Bylaw No. 652, 2007
This bylaw, officially called the "Safe Premises Bylaw No. 652, 2007," aims to protect the health and safety of people in View Royal by regulating properties that may have hazardous conditions. It affects property owners, tenants, and anyone who occupies a building in View Royal. The bylaw focuses on issues like disconnected utilities, improper venting, the presence of hazardous substances (as listed in Schedule E), blocked exits, unauthorized electrical alterations, and especially grow operations. If a property is found to have hazardous conditions, the Building Inspector can issue a list of required actions. The owner must then complete these actions within 90 days, including obtaining necessary permits and inspections. Inspectors can enter properties to check for compliance, and notices can be posted on unsafe buildings, prohibiting entry. Owners also have a duty to report any contraventions of the bylaw to the Building Inspector. Failure to comply can result in fines.
