A citizen complained about a recurring problem of illegal dumping of garbage by neighbouring residents, in front of her Bed and Breakfast. This problem was continuing despite her many complaints to Arrondissement de Ville-Marie.
Following our intervention, the borough took many steps toward finding a solution. It increased its surveillance of the area and its inspectors searched garbage bags in order to identify offenders. A citizen was personally challenged.
In parallel with this increased surveillance, the borough distributed a letter explaining the objective and requirements of the By-law concerning good citizenship, respect and cleanliness to the residents of this area.
All these actions paid off and the plaintiff noted a major improvement. The borough will maintain an assiduous surveillance of the area, for some time, and thereafter, on an as needed basis.
