This last week, the city of Montreal got an injunction from a Superior Court judge in a case involving a lovely building left for dead. The owners have 300 days to make good on the decision. They will have to rehabilitate the building to its original condition. Never has a judgement been so comprehensive. I hope this is going to create a precedent and that there is no appeal. There are a lot of these buildings in Montreal, and most of these are owned by folks who pay taxes on an empty but expensive piece of property, dont care about the condition or the blight on the neighborhood.
