A large police presence was at 29 Pentagon Blvd. yesterday in a bid to remove tenants, squatters and guests from the property on behalf of the new owner <\/p>\n
The new owner of a problem P-Patch property knows it will be a challenge ousting\u00a0the\u00a0occupants and guests\u00a0from the house.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, a large police presence assembled at 29 Pentagon Blvd.<\/a> \u2014 a property described in court documents as an around-the-clock \u201chaven for illegal and illicit activity\u201d \u2014 in an unsuccessful attempt to remove\u00a0people from the premises.\u00a0<\/p>\n Local real estate investor Paul Finck said he bought the problem-plagued property in hopes of not only renovating and selling the home to a \u201cgood family,\u201d but restoring order to the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n \u201cI have friends that live in the P-Patch. There’s been\u00a0lots of people complaining about the situation here,\u201d Finck told SooToday.<\/p>\n \u201cIt’s been going on for many years, and it’s an opportunity to clean house and bring it back to its original state.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Next-door neighbours Nick Delavalle and his common-law partner were awarded half a million dollars in damages<\/a> last year after a judge found there was enough evidence of \u201cillegal, illicit, disruptive, interfering and egregious conduct,\u201d involving tenants, squatters and guests at 29 Pentagon Blvd.<\/p>\n Delavalle and his partner initially filed a statement of claim against former property owner Marty Acciavatti in 2022, seeking $700,000 in damages from their neighbour for \u201cmultiple private nuisances, trespasses, mental distress, out-of-pocket expenses,\u201d and other punitive damages.<\/p>\n The statement of claim detailed a nightmarish predicament, including drug use, assaults, gunshots and animal feces \u2014 in addition to incessant noise made by barking dogs and people partying at all hours of the day and night.<\/p>\n The property was placed on the real estate market last month<\/a>, by way of a sheriff\u2019s sale, in an effort to collect the unpaid, court-ordered damages awarded to the neighbours.\u00a0<\/p>\n But the sale came with a catch: Prospective buyers were warned not to approach, enter or attend 29 Pentagon Blvd., and the seller had no idea of what was actually inside the home or garage situated on the property.<\/p>\n Selling agent Frank Naccarato of Century 21 Choice Realty said the sale was on an \u201cas-is, where-is\u201d basis, meaning the property would be sold in its current condition without any repairs or renovations.<\/p>\n \u201cThere’s no guarantees on nothing, there’s no warranties on nothing,\u201d said Naccarato. \u201cYou couldn’t go on the property, and it was a very unique situation.\u201d<\/p>\n
