Council authorizes corrected lien filing after emergency boarding of unsafe structure at 1836 Clinton Road
Summary
Council rescinded an earlier resolution and authorized township attorney to file a corrected lien to recover $1,470 in boarding-up costs for a structure at 1836 Clinton Road, Hewitt, after the Construction Official declared the building unsafe and emergency boarding was performed.
The Township Council on Jan. 7 rescinded Resolution 2025-462 and authorized the corrected filing of a lien against Block 206, Lot 8 (1836 Clinton Road, Hewitt) to recover $1,470 in boarding-up costs. The minutes state the Construction Official inspected the property, determined it to be unsafe to human life and public welfare, and—after consultation with a contractor—directed immediate boarding to protect the public under township code and N.J.S.A. 40:48-2.3.
The contractor completed the boarding work and submitted an invoice for $1,470, which the township seeks to recover via lien in accordance with township code §285-11. The resolution directs the township attorney to take necessary actions to recover the abatement costs, including filing the lien and other recovery steps. The action was adopted immediately upon passage of the resolution.
