      Our building was on fire again today; fire engine attended; the fire started in one Unit.  The elderly owner concerned has caused fire in the building many times in the past few years due to his negligence.

      I have asked for immediate action by the Executive Committee: By Laws, Sections 116 and 117 “ You must not use or enjoy your lot in such a way which might cause a nuisance or hazard to another resident”.

      The owner, who needs Nursing Home care, seems to think that because he owns the unit, nothing can be done to force him to leave.

       Do we have to wait until the whole building burns down, with probable tragic outcomes, before we take some action?

      Does the Executive Committee have a duty of care to do something?

      Any suggestions?
