The article details the renovation of an apartment building at 4790 Sainte-Catherine Street East in Montreal after its purchase by real estate speculator Henry Zavriyev. The original units, which rented for between $500 and $700, were cleared out and renovated. They are now back on the market for $1,050. A local community worker described the tactics used to remove the former tenants as a "renoviction," calling the outcome a victory for the "renovicter." The owner maintains that the renovations cost more than he expected and claims the new rents remain within an affordable range. While the borough has issued several fines for violations, a city council member stated that public officials have done everything they can to address what he called a "scandalous" situation.
