The Remaining Swansea Mews Occupants Were Forced To Leave Temporarily After The Units Were Deemed Unsafe.

The mayor of Toronto issued an order to rectify the situation that requires the Toronto Community Housing (TCH) to begin evacuating all buildings on Swansea Mews, 21 Windermere Ave., near The Queensway. The order follows the collapse of a roof on May 27 in a block of flats in a mansion that seriously injured a woman. “The reports of the professional engineers concluded that the 154 mansions in the Swansea Mews complex are in a state that is not safe for the purpose for which they are used,” the order states. Civil engineers hired by the service to determine what led to the collapse found two more concrete panels, in two separate buildings, similar to the one that fell. Residents in block H, where the collapse took place, were called to leave. About 420 people live in the complex. “This finding means that the risk of another concrete panel falling suddenly and without warning is greater than originally detected,” TCH said in a statement on Monday. TCH, a city company, said it is working to find suitable temporary accommodation for families staying in the complex, trying to provide a range of options and continuing to match families with accommodations that best meet their needs. About 40 families have already left the complex voluntarily. A total of 39 units were empty at the time of the collapse. “Our tenants are so incredibly upset and this is so worrying for them,” TCH CEO Jag Sharma told reporters on Monday. “We have heard their feelings first hand. And we are committed to taking every action and providing every support to help them deal with it.” TCH CEO Jag Sharma says: “Our tenants are so incredibly upset and this is so worrying for them. This is what drives us to ensure that we take action as quickly as possible. ” (CBC) Sharma said TCH has secured space at Humber College and contacted George Brown College, Toronto Metropolitan University and York University to find accommodation for its tenants. It also makes use of hotels. TCH will provide “wrapping” services, he said. “We make sure we have places for our tenants to go as a result of this significant security risk,” he said. Sharma said TCH believed it could use electromagnetic scanning to predict whether a roof would fall or not, but this has proven to be less effective than expected. As a result, TCH can not predict how many ceilings are at risk and whether they will fall on a tenant or not, he said. This uncertainty has increased the level of risk, he added. As for the order, it does not end the hiring of people living at Swansea Mews, but TCH said it could not say how long it would take to fix the roof problem. After the roof collapsed, engineers found that the problem dates back to when the building complex was built.
