I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding the recovery house located on Canada Way in Burnaby, which is causing significant disturbances in my neighborhood and negatively impacting my family's quality of life.
As a resident living directly behind this property, I have observed and endured the following issues:
1. Excessive Noise and Disturbances:
Individuals residing in the recovery house frequently engage in loud, disruptive behavior, including shouting, swearing, and other inappropriate conduct. This occurs while my family members, including children, are entering and exiting our home.
2. Harassment:
Some of the individuals from the recovery house have harassed me and my family. This has created a hostile and uncomfortable environment for us in what should be the safety of our own neighborhood.
3. Concerns with Management:
The manager of the recovery house appears to lack the professionalism and responsibility required to oversee such a facility. Despite raising my concerns directly with the manager, I was met with dismissive responses and assurances that these individuals are "accountable," despite clear evidence to the contrary.
This situation has escalated to a point where my family and I feel unsafe and disrespected in our own home. Recovery houses serve an important purpose in supporting individuals on their path to rehabilitation, but this particular facility is failing to uphold community standards and is instead fostering a negative impact on its surroundings.
I kindly request that your office investigate this matter and take appropriate action to address the following:
Ensure the recovery house operates under stricter supervision and accountability.
Enforce noise and behavioral regulations to prevent disturbances to the neighborhood.
Review the management and operational practices of this facility to ensure compliance with city and provincial standards.
If these issues persist, I will not hesitate to escalate the matter further through additional channels, including legal action if necessary.
Thank you! read more
