Nuisance abatement
Council voted in favour of issuing an order that certain nuisance activities stop at the residence located at 4235 Quentin Ave. If the nuisance activities do not stop despite the order, the City may recover the cost of abating the nuisance, or causing the nuisance to be abated, under the City of Prince George Nuisance Abatement Bylaw 8940, 2018.
The report to council explained that activities at the residence have resulted in numerous attendances by Bylaw Services and the RCMP since 2024.
The Nuisance Abatement Bylaw enables Council to formally order a cessation of those nuisance activities such as excessive noise, unsightly property and so on. Such an order is strengthened by the City’s ability to recover certain abatement costs if the nuisance activities continue. The intent is that the nuisance activities will cease going forward.
A letter from the property owners was included as a handout in the agenda package, and explained the tenant renting the property had been evicted.
Council also put forward a separate motion to refer the thresholds of the nuisance abatement bylaw be reviewed by staff.
September building permit summary
Council received a building permit and development permit summary for September 2025 with 48 permits issued for the month. The report includes all residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional permits, and the estimated total construction value of each development.
The September total is made up of seven commercial/industrial permits and 33 residential permits, worth a combined total of $8.9 million. This was another strong month on what has been a good year for building permits.
The year-to-date total as at the end of September is 328 permits worth a combined $240.7 million. The year-to-date total for the previous year 2024 was 316 permits totaling $213 million.
