Board continues 72 Arkansas Avenue matter, requests new Title 5 inspection after 2010 failure record
Summary
The board continued a file for 72 Arkansas Avenue after the property owner said the system has performed without backup despite a 2010 Title 5 inspection documenting hydraulic failure. The board asked the owner to obtain a new, licensed Title 5 inspection report and continued the item to next month.
The Board of Health continued an application for 72 Arkansas Avenue after staff noted the site has a Title 5 inspection from February 2010 documenting hydraulic failure.
Owner David Cocker spoke briefly and said the property has operated with pumping and without observed backups; he asked whether a new inspection could be obtained given the 15‑year gap since the failing report. Staff confirmed the department relies on licensed Title 5 inspection reports to document system failure and recommended the board request a current inspection to verify whether the system still fails under present conditions.
Board members agreed to continue the matter until the owner obtains a current licensed Title 5 inspection and submits the report for staff review. The board said a single‑month continuance is appropriate given the time elapsed since 2010 and the need for an up‑to‑date record to guide corrective action if required.
