66% Informative

Winnipeg 's vacant building bylaw introduced last year allowed the city to fine owners for the cost of fighting the fires at their properties.

A new report has found that model is ineffective, and did not reduce the number of vacant building fires in the city.

More than $1.1 million in fines were issued, but less than $80,000 has come in.

The proposed set fee structure would charge vacant property owners $ 5,000 and with each subsequent fire, the rate would increase to a maximum of $ 20,000 .
