Headline: Owner Vows: Iconic Building Not Deliberately Vacant; Squatters Eviction Filed
Article:
The owner of a historic building in the city has clarified that the property is not intentionally left vacant, contrary to speculation. "We’ve been working on a permit for residential conversion for nearly two years now," the owner stated. "The municipality has been dragging its feet, and I’ve even had to initiate a complaint procedure due to the delays."
Today, the owner’s business filed a police report, hoping for swift eviction of the squatters who have taken over the building. This isn’t an isolated incident; squatters often reveal their actions later to avoid immediate police intervention. While the mayor announced in late 2019 that police would intervene directly during such incidents, this only applies if squatters are caught in the act.
