“In the absence of a bedroom window, the safety concern of overheating remains.”
A Burnaby resident is concerned rental units without bedroom windows pose a public safety risk during extreme heat.
“The architectural diagrams … suggest minimum-sized one-bedroom replacement units with no window in the bedroom, and in the case of Accorde’s development, no balcony either,” Schauer wrote. Schauer also pointed to a 38-storey development at 5900 Olive Ave., which was approved at council on Feb. 6, which includes a three-storey rental building with “windowless” one-bedroom units.
At a council meeting on Feb. 6, Coun. Maita Santiago asked how tenants would be able to get relief during another heat wave and if the units had access to light and ventilation. He was unsure if these particular units were air conditioned but said, “They are under new construction that are typically very energy efficient, and the temperature control is usually quite precise.”
