Once the ministry wraps up its investigation, responsibility for the site will revert to the owner’s insurance provider.
    
Police say that’s who residents should contact about retrieving any belongings stuck inside the building since the June 23 collapse.
    
Two women – Lucie Aylwin, 37, and Doloris Perizzolo, 74 – were killed when part of the roof came crashing down that day.
