'Uncaring lunacy': Evicted tenant of Ridgeview Place still looking for answers and compensation

It has now been more than two months since the City of Langford revoked the occupancy permit for Ridgeview Place, displacing tenants from 90 units in the building.

It has now been more than two months since the City of Langford revoked the occupancy permit for Ridgeview Place, displacing tenants from 90 units in the building.

During that time, those who were displaced have gotten little to no answers as to why that building was deemed unsafe.

“You’ve seen how easy it is for them to walk away,” said Dennis MacDonald, one of those displaced residents.

MacDonald is talking about Centurion Properties, the owner of the apartment building.

The building had its occupancy permit pulled on April 24, leaving MacDonald, his daughter and his seven-year-old autistic grandson with nowhere to go.

“I want Centurion to explain what the problem is with the building, that they had to shut it down,” said MacDonald.

He says he has asked Centurion that direct question dozens of times, never getting a reply.
