Following the provisions of Chapter 40U of the Massachusetts General Laws regarding housing code violations, the Town must notify a property owner of a violation and allow two weeks to resolve the issue. If, at the end of two weeks, the owner is still in violation, daily fines are assessed. Unpaid fines are placed as a lien on the property. Regardless of these procedures, there is no guarantee that the homeowner will comply and the Town may not enter onto private property to maintain it. This issue has been assigned to Code Enforcement for review and an update will follow shortly. Thank you for your patience.
Issue has been resolved. Had the person that complained simply asked the homeowner what the issue was they would have found out that the homeowners lawnmower had died and was working to get the lawn mowed. Procurement of a new lawnmower and / or landscaping company is ongoing.
