The Saskatoon Fire Department says, after months of action to improve living conditions at 1416, 20th Street West, it was left with no other option than to close the entire building known as Prairie Heights.
Assistant Chief Yvonne Raymer says, “Despite our efforts to ensure the building was safe, clean and not a fire hazard, we cannot get ahead of the constant vandalism, squatting, drug trade, risky and unhealthy behaviours.” She says they cannot allow people to live in the building until significant changes are made.
The latest inspection of the building revealed a water leak that is starting to seep through drywall and water pooling in the elevator shaft.
