A Sackville landlord was ordered to pay $10,000 to the town for ignoring multiple requests to comply to local zoning bylaws.
Gordon and Barbara Beal have to pay this fine on top of covering moving expenses and any increase in rent for the 15 tenants who had to find new accommodations after the building was found to be unsafe back in January.
The Town of Sackville brought the matter to civil court because the owners of the historic mansion committed a zoning infraction and were doing work on the building without the proper permits.
