For months, Katy Belaire has been unable to sleep for fear that the house next door may collapse.
“My daughter's bedroom is right there,” the 30-year-old said of the wall right next to the fenced-off area.
“I'm literally jumping out of bed, worried that I have to like grab her to run to the other side of the house."
The home in question, 340 Weir Street, was purchased in the summer of 2022, but the owner never moved in. According to Belaire, the problems began in January, when a burst pipe sent a “waterfall” out the side of her neighbour’s home.
She called the city to turn the water off before it flooded their driveway.
The next month, Belaire said she noticed the corners of the home starting to “bow.” She said she again called the city because the wall appeared to be pushing against the gas meter.
