I'd like to know if this building has been included in this current higher tax class assessment because if not, that is a complete joke. The state of this building is beyond embarrassing and utterly unacceptable.

For the amount of crap that certain developers/projects on this site get by people (from myself included), the current condition of this building has to be one of the worst if not the worst in the city especially given that it is right downtown.

that's a good point! I'd suggest emailing your city council to put it into their radars https://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/city_organization/city-councillors

I'm going to contact Anne Stevenson since this building is in her ward.

Anne's office sent me this reply:

This is Robbie from the office of Anne Stevenson. Thank you for reaching out about Dwayne's Home. A demolition permit was approved for Dwayne's Home in September 2022, though unfortunately I cannot provide when the owners will act on the permit. The building has been consistently monitored by Community Standards and Neighbourhoods around securing the site and ensuring it is not a safety risk. I am happy to report that Dwayne's Home is being assessed as a derelict property, so the owners will have a significantly higher tax bill. Hopefully this will provide them adequate incentive.

I realize the owners are not the speediest at proceeding, but I would like it and it would be good for the area if the proposed development could proceed soon.
 
I would like to know the amount of the new derelict tax compared to the prior year for that property. Anyone know? and whether the increase will be substantive enough to incentivize the owner to develop it or unload it. The value on the sale price of the property with its new tax rate may deter speculators if the taxes are high enough but attract developers who have the wherewithal to buy and develop given current owner either does not or is dragging his arse.

At least it's a structure. Across the street is a dirt parking lot, and it has been a dirt lot since past 1888.

Disagree. This would be 100% better for the community if this lot were vacant or even a parking lot than the state it has been left in. The building is the definition of derelict, pretty sure there have been several fires.
