Newton resident fuming over illegal building Homeowners flout city bylaws; hundreds of stopwork orders issued by Kevin Diakiw ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTION in this city continues unabated, according to one local builder who has watched unlawful building occurring all around his Newton home over the past few years. Andrew Houghton is outraged at the level of non-compliance with building rules around his home in the 14000 block of 79A Avenue. The latest infraction occurred just down the lane from his place, and Houghton saw it coming as soon as Dianne Watts construction started. There were several corner posts put in place to hold up future walls. Once awarded the occupancy permits from the City of Surrey, Houghton said the builder took down the railing from the outdoor balcony and

“There should be a stop-work order put on it and (the unlawful building) torn out.”
