The address of the location you are reporting is necessary so we can send out Code Enforcement. Please provide it here. Thank you.

Town Clerk's Office assigned this issue to Code Enforcement Officer

Town Clerks Office

The address is 347 South Main St.
Randolph

Thank you. I have assigned Code Enforcement. Please be aware,
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.

Having rats and mice comre onto our property from under the fence is a health problem..
We reported this months ago to the Randolph Board of Health
and have tried to have then call us back or make an appointment to see them at the town hall.
we called every day and also went to town hall to see if someone was available.. Norhing.We havent even received acknowledged response to phone calls or email..

Permit is nessary for chickens,hens,rooster
Pigeons,Etc with a signed abutters notice.??.
Not done..

This issue has been reported to the Code Enforcement Officers. An update will follow shortly.

So many rats running along the length from stoughton st to Fitch terrace. Prob from that mess.

Nothing has changed!!!!..Found a dead rat.
Why are these animals kept here??
isn't it possible to have them removed from
their property??
Chicken walking on top of an unused old trailer and pigeons let out and flying around..

A Fine will be issued for non compliance and ordered to get a exterminator to bait the area

Rats ongoing problem since 2020..need to have chickens, roostet,pigeons removed.
Never will permanently rid the problem..
Never presented abutters approval to have these animals.

We first reported this incredible unhealthy situation on April 15. Today is June 2 and another dead rat in our yard..wish I could post pictures..they put up 2 new sections of fence only because the old fell down and they wanted to plant a garden in their front yard..
Listen to a rooster ,chickens and and pigeons ..i want to know why they still have them..
What purpose do they serve and having no permit.why can't they be told to gwt rid of rhem??
Still a total junk yard in front and especially in back..A total health risk and fire risk,never mind a rat problem..Would a town member or town manager put up this....think not..!!!
Totally disgusted and need this dire situation..We would hate to go to the news media.. a reponse would be greatly appreciated, please!!!!!

Over the last several weeks, the Code Enforcement Team (made up of Building, Fire, Police and Health Departments) have made site visits. Re-inspections are scheduled to take place, followed by court proceedings.

As stated above, 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. Code Enforcement has issued fines on this 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.

The code enforcement task force met at this property last week with the owner. At this point, fines for non compliance have been issued. The owner has until June 16 to have the property cleaned up to our agreed upon condition.

The owner has been notified and we will be in court on the 17th if the property is not cleaned up as promised. Thank you for your patience.

Dead rat in my yard yesterday. Foot tagged Pigeon perched on my deck. Down the street from that mess. It’s a health hazard. I won’t sit in my backyard.

The chickens ,roosterand pigeons and who knows what else is in that back yard is a true health risk and
a disgrace!!!!! The only way to get rid of rats would be to rid of those animals..
We live nearby and more then once have found dead rats.. I cant believe that other close neighbors don't report the problem

Terrible situation when you can't even sit in your back yard...We are faced with that same problem.

I have been there with the Building Inspector, Fire Department, Police Department and Board of Health. They have been instructed to have this property cleaned up on or before June 16, 2021. We will be back to to inspect the property as a group on that day. If the property does not meet the requirements said forth as instructed they will be entered in to Brockton Housing Court as a criminal offense.

Today,June 16..we found a dead bird in our yard..
At 10:15 am.they put pigeons and chickens back out outside and truck with junk back in the driveway..
We assume the officers were here earlier and left..
Still will have problem in the future with rats..We as abutters need these animals gone

Owner Cleaned a large amount of debris in back yard Board of health and Building Commissioner will continue to monitor property.

This issue has been handled by Code Enforcement and is now closed. Thank you for your patience.

We still do not understand why chickens and pigeons are allowed ..this will never be resolved
As long as they are attracting rats..
Does Randolph allow them without a permit as stated online and certainly not with written approval as an abutter..
This will certainly be followed by us and will be reported for the 3rd time if needed..
Thank you for your cooperation in some of the work this neighbor had done
