Manager says borough will pursue court action to address derelict Cadillac Motel
Summary
The borough manager told council members the borough will likely seek court action to force repairs or demolition of the Cadillac Motel property because past code enforcement and police responses have not produced results.
The borough manager informed councilors that the borough will likely pursue court action to address ongoing code and safety concerns at the Cadillac Motel, saying legal steps may be needed to force repairs, demolition or a court‑ordered plan.
The manager said the property is “in disrepair,” that police have responded to incidents there, and that solicitor staff advised pursuing court remedies to compel action by the property owner. The manager described the property as a persistent code enforcement problem and said solicitors would prepare options such as seeking court permission to demolish the structure, ordering the owner to submit a repair plan or other remedies with “teeth” to compel compliance. The manager said this item will appear on a future agenda once solicitor guidance and proposed actions are formalized.
No formal legal documents or motions were presented at the meeting; the council was informed of the manager’s intent and staff said they would return with formal action proposals.
