Revoked Occupancy

It’s always a problem when a building is not completed to code. On December 20th, most residents, unfortunately, had to move out of the brand new, 86-unit building in Langford at 2766 Claude Road in Langford due to gravity system concerns. (“Gravity system” simply means the vertical loading support structure for a building).

The Engineering and Geosciences organization governed by B.C. legislation has not disclosed what they deem to be confidential information regarding the situation at Danbrook One, but their investigation and discipline processes will determine if a professional engineer or geoscientist has failed to meet the professional standards or ethical obligations of the professions.

Meanwhile, the city of Langford, the public and several developers have pitched in to help displaced residents of the building with funds to alleviate some of their expenses.
