Thanks to Ms. Garrity for following up with the owner. Unfortunately, the matter is unresolved; the grass is growing higher and the ticks are out in force. As our neighborhood experiences more teardowns, maintenance of future and current construction sites is an increasing issue, going beyond appearance to becoming a legitimate health concern. Neighbors of teardowns experience noise and stormwater runoff issues that seem unavoidable; they shouldn't have to deal with vermin due to owner/contractor negligence on top of all that. I know staff are stretched and there are a lot of these sites in town. Maybe a few well-placed fines after friendly warnings would send a message that disregard of the neighbors of shiny new houses won't be tolerated by the town.

Address correction: 161 Patton. Property owner has been given 2nd and final Notice of Violation and a phone call. If not abated by 6/17/22, please submit another request. The issue that you submitted has been addressed and we are now closing this.
