New registry helps ensure basement suites are safe.
MEDICINE HAT, AB. – The City of Medicine Hat has created an online Secondary Suite Registration for basement or secondary suites within homes to ensure all safety codes are met.
Don Warkentin has a legal suite in his basement. He has recently renovated the suite and made changes to meet current building codes. It is now listed on the city’s Secondary Suite Registration.
“It was an easy process,” he said. “The fire department came, did the inspections and said this is what you need to make it an approved suite.”
