The City of Hamilton will install nine new security cameras on the exterior of the Lister Block at 28 James Street North.
In a report to the Heritage Permit Review Sub-Committee, City staff write, “the heritage features of the building have been subject to repeated vandalism and theft.”
Incidents within the building’s alcoves are also noted as a concern.
Other property owners along James Street North have closed alcoves by boarding them off or installing grates.
During community meetings last month, numerous James Street North businesses expressed concerns and frustration about vandalism and theft.
The City report does not state when the cameras will be installed.
