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 remove the debris. This issue has been assigned to Code Enforcement for review and an update will follow shortly. Thank you for your patience.
These TV's have been there for months, there's been other SCF posts making the same complaint, and nothing was done.
How many more months and complaints have to be made before something gets done?
Homeowner should've been receiving fines by now.
As stated above, the Town cannot enter personal property to remove the debris. The homeowner was notified, and has been given time to resolve the issue, however, the owner has chosen not to comply. Fines accrue daily, but this does not ensure that the homeowner will comply.
