A man in Labrador is struggling to get insurance for his home due to a derelict building blocking access. Steve Butler, from Musgrave Harbour, has been unable to secure coverage because the abandoned structure, which has stood empty since 2009, creates a safety risk. The building, once a grocery store, is part of a growing issue in the region where abandoned properties are common. Local authorities have noted that such structures can lead to increased risks for residents and complicate property assessments. Butler has been trying to resolve the issue for years without success. Insurance companies have cited the building as a major concern, making it difficult to provide coverage. The situation highlights a broader challenge in rural areas where maintenance and oversight are limited.
