Description
This vehicle(Black Honda Accord) sits abandoned(belongs to 41 Melvin St, but sitting on the property line of 53 Melvin St preventing those poor folks from installing a privacy fence if they wish to do), never leaves the grass. This is deemed an inoperable vehicle, as it does not run and drive down city streets as other vehicles do, expired inspection sticker, and is a detriment to the health of citizens as a sitting vehicle makes home for rodents and small game animals. This vehicle is not safe or fit for movement on public ways of the commonwealth, therefor an inoperable vehicle, therefor it qualifies as prohibited storage of a motor vehicle of Chicopee, MA “The Code” Chapter 262 of Vehicles Unregistered and Abandoned 262-1 Prohibited Storage. As well as in violation of MA State Law of Abandoned/Inoperable Vehicle Storage + Health Code Violation. Mr Courchesne has failed to uphold his position in being a public servant and providing remedies for problems citizens find in the local community as by the other complaints. I hope to see this vehicle gone the next time I drive down that street. I hope to see quality of life issues handled with more care by our city leaders in the future as well. An absolute eyesore to say the least.

I have a meeting next Tuesday with the mayor and all department heads about problem properties and hopefully Code Enforcement. I will add this issue to the list. The health department was out in January and found it to be in compliance. You would have to contact them as to their decision. Lisa and her small staff work very hard on the cities issues, hence the need for code enforcement officer to help all the departments and residents.
