"Section 9, subsections 2 and 4 of the 1974 Building Code Act," Mr. Schiefele said, ‘*were complied with when we first inspected the premises and then issued the order to have it demolished."‘ The boarding cannot be removed from its present location, jutting out across the sidewalk and onto the parking lane, until the stop work order is lifted by the Minâ€" Downtown revitaiization...

And according to a Minâ€" istry spokesman that will only be done if the precarious section of wall is tied into the Ontario Seed building to make it seâ€" cure. Up until now any work on the wall has been delayed by a dispute between the owners of the two properties as to who legaily owns the wall. According to Richard Biggs, counsel for John and Angelos Gikopoulos, the owners of the demolished building, there has been considerable negotiation in an attempt to resolve the problem of the wall. Although three firms of consultants have been called in to determine whose responâ€" sibility it should be to pay for the restrucâ€" turing work, Mr. Biggs feels there is not port states, shouldâ€" be permitted where noise levels excead 70 decibels tequal to the sound of highâ€" way traffic at 50 feet). _ > Average readings would ‘be geared to an outdpor reâ€" creation area of the residenâ€"" tial lot and should the level Noisy metal factory moving from downtown Chronicle staff writer \ ©= _ noise in the plant, and explained that they had no idea Latem Industries Ltd. representatives are symâ€" ° _ they would be violating any bylaw when they moved in pathetic with the 22 complaining residents in the area last February.

Counselor Mervyn Villemaire repreâ€" senting James and William Uffeilman, the . â€" owners of Ontario Seed building â€" feels the : wall répairs should be paid by the Gikoâ€" â€"poules brothers. ‘"They‘ve been diddling with adjusters ... it‘s the tragedy of toâ€" day‘s life, there is so much red tape. It‘s obvious they damaged the wall.‘‘ Counselor Biggs does not agree.

How long wil} it stay this way? ‘‘The economics don‘t support leaving the situaâ€" tion in its present state," said counzelor Biggs. "It‘s not in the owner‘s interest to leave the demolished building site in its present state. There is a project on the books to go in there, and come winter the Ontario Seed Company is going to have a lot of snow ih their attic. It‘s easy to play games all summer, but when the snow starts to fly the games aren‘t as easy to play,"‘ he said. Counselor Villemaire and his clients apâ€" parently have no intention of waiting for the snow to fly. The lawyer explained ‘*we‘re going to go ahead and repair it and sue them if we have to."">
