CITY HALL officials on Monday halted works on a building at the corner of Regent and Wellington streets in the city, citing discrepancies in the boundary on which the structure is being built.Marlon Harris, Supervisor/Building Inspector at the Georgetown Mayor and City Council led a team of officials to the site where works were being undertaken. A steel structure is erected on the site which once housed several stores within a complex. The complex was gutted by an early morning fire back in April 2012.Harris told reporters shortly after meeting the owner’s representative, that the issue highlighted to the contractor centers on a discrepancy with the western boundary of the lot. He said that

approval was granted for the building to be constructed, however the problem is one that is relevant to the boundary of the lot.Harris said two weeks ago, City Hall indicated to the contractor verbally, about the problem, noting that the owners of the property were told to visit City Hall to address and sort out the issue. On Monday, the owners were asked to address the problem with the city within a 72-hour period, and until such time, no further works were allowed. A log entry was signed to this affect by a representative of the owner. Back in April 2012, an early morning fire gutted the stores which once stood at the site, resulting in millions of dollars of losses to the owners. Jaigobin Rajkumar operated the complex where several Indian nationals, who had most of the stores within the complex counted their losses in the millions of dollars. The affected, Dilip’s Akashe, Prakash Discount, Manu’s and Monty’s, were all in the same structure located opposite the GUYOIL Gas Station.In the aftermath of the fire, several holders were permitted to operate by the owners of the property at the site.
