Freemansburg council authorizes solicitor to notify owners of violations at two Clearfield Street properties
Summary
Council voted to have the solicitor send notices of violation to 202 and 213 Clearfield Street and authorized corrective action by the borough, contingent on an administrative warrant, if owners fail to remedy the violations within the timeframe set by Council.
Freemansburg Borough Council on June 17 authorized its solicitor to send notices of violation to the owners of 202 and 213 Clearfield Street and directed that, if the violations are not corrected in the Council‑determined timeframe, the borough or its representatives may correct the violations contingent on approval of an administrative warrant.
The minutes state 202 Clearfield Street is currently condemned and both properties have multiple enforcement actions against them. Council Vice‑President Jim Smith moved to authorize the solicitor to send the notices; Monica Elliott seconded and the motion was recorded as passing 4-0.
The authorization includes language allowing the borough or its representatives to enter and remediate the properties if owners do not comply, but only after a court-issued administrative warrant is obtained. The minutes did not specify the violations in detail, the timeframe Council will set for remediation, or whether corrective work will be billed to the property owner.
