City sues Glebe parking garage builder, architects over leaks

The City of Ottawa is suing the contractor and architects who built a four-storey parking garage in the Glebe, claiming that the garage is prone to unacceptable leaking.
The city is asking for $1.75 million in damages from Laurin General Contractor, Architecture 49 Inc. and PBK Architects.
The municipal garage on Second Avenue west of Bank Street has 141 spaces and was built to provide parking for Lansdowne. The city’s claim says poor waterproofing on the top level allowed water to leak in
