Im sure code enforcement will be out to issue a warning just like the 5 others they have given in the past. This a constant problem residence that the neighborhood has to deal with and the town takes no action. Maybe the board of health should be involved in the cleanup.

This issue was recategorized from Building Code / Zoning to Housing - Trash/Overgrown Lawn.

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.

I spoke to Owner last week he agrees to clean up property. He asked me for 1 week before I send a fine. Reinspection will be done today 5/24/2021.

As of 730pm tonight nothing has been picked up. Is there an update from the Town?

Will there be an update for this property?? Its been over 5 business days and the property has not been cleaned, the grass has not been mowed.

Still waiting for an update. Are daily fines being issued? Will the town mow the lawn/ clean up the property and add a tax lien?

Status Please !
It has been almost a month now since first reported and the property owner has taken no action.
Time to fine !!

Fines are issued to Owner on a daily basis for non compliance.
