RED DEER --
The operator of two affordable housing complexes in Red Deer faces fines for multiple safety code violations.
Last year, Red Deer Emergency Services (RDES) conducted fire inspections at two properties, the Stan Schalk Apartments and the Buffalo Apartments, which resulted in Safety Codes Act charges to the owner of both properties, Potter’s Hands Development Ltd.
“We have been working closely with the property owner for some time, but unfortunately reached a point where charges were necessary to outline the gravity of the situation,” said Fire Marshal Tim Kivell.
“Our priority is ensuring the safety of residents living in these facilities.”
