Responsible journalism should be based on facts, accuracy and truthful reporting and the source should be considered for accuracy, reliability and credibility.
1120 Water Street never experienced a problem with flooding but sewer back -up did occur due to an outdated system that was clogged with tree roots.
The province paid the cost to upgrade the aging infrastructure not the City of Peterborough.
The foundation is not leaking and there is no old and new part of the basement as stated.
How much did the City of Peterborough invest in repairs?
The tenant in 9 years has paid almost fifty thousand dollars….
The taxpayers are charged for repairs or replacements billed as new but in reality were used.
How about the paint accounts that the city passes off to taxpayers and how much has been charged for paint?
Color your world may have the answer to this question...
The tenant did not clean or remove the mould from 1122 water street as stated cuz the tenant was not in the City of Peterborough @ the time.
So who is misleading who?
An elected member of council voted in by the people should always make well informed decisions before voting on a matter that will cost the taxpayers more money
No letter was received on February 2007 and the tenant was not kept informed.
A basement apartment at 1122 shhh it is an illegal duplex..that was offered but the replacement of the old kitchen cupboards which were falling apart and the removal of the mould was not completed as per the agreement.
A basement bedroom at 1122 water lacked an egress window which is required in each bedroom.
Housing informed tenant that a bedroom in the basement of 1120 Water Street was not permitted for insurance purposes and safety reasons in the event of a fire.
The entire duct work is not covered in asbestos only a small vent left over from an old heating system.
This should have been noted after the sewer-back up when the ceiling tiles were removed by contractors hired by the city of Peterborough.
Lost in all this mix is the concern for the safety of this family?
The findings from the mould report have never been discussed and only a preliminary report was communicated.
A breakdown in effective communication and timely responses may leave a family homeless.
The unnecessary high expenditures of a demolition will be passed onto the taxpayers of Peterborough.
Can a report from Brian Horton who has not entered the residence of 1120 Water be considered a valid report?

The cement work should have been done to the whole wall.
Did the contractors take precautions to prevent asbestos fibers from floating throughout the house and exposing the family?
Is that why the fibers were only located by the cold air duct in the kitchen and in fact the flooring in the kitchen does not contain asbestos hence the negative test for the flooring samples taken from the cold air vent
