Newfoundland and Labrador Housing has confirmed that a fire on Livingstone Street early Thursday morning has caused damage to four of their vacant homes.
The scene has been released to NLHC and they are in the process of assessing the damage and determining next steps.
They say the affected homes were barricaded while repair work was ongoing, as “there have been frequent break-ins and vandalism which (have) caused extensive delays to (the) work.”
Housing officials are in “continuous dialogue” with police about the issues with the properties.
