Kudos to West Vancouver Mayor Michael Smith and council members for taking a stand.

These homeowners obviously thought they could just ignore bylaws and building codes.

Note to homeowners: these bylaws and codes are there for a reason, and for the safety of neighbours, and for future buyers of the property.

To blatantly ignore stop-work orders shows the owner’s complete arrogance and lack of respect. What if everyone did this?

It would be a travesty if they were allowed to get away with it.
