Selectmen ask code officer to inspect badly burned house at 26 East Boston Road
Summary
Town Manager Marjorie Stratton raised concerns about a substantially burned house at 26 East Boston Road; the board reached consensus to ask the Code Enforcement officer for a site visit and to write to the owners to learn their plans, with town-funded stabilization or demolition as possible next steps.
During the May 19 meeting, Town Manager Marjorie Stratton reported that the house at 26 East Boston Road—substantially burned last year—has prompted comments from the community about safety and next steps.
The board discussed the town’s dangerous-building process and agreed (by consensus) to ask the Code Enforcement officer to conduct a site visit and then to have staff send a letter to the property owners requesting their planned remedies. The minutes record that stabilization or demolition at the town’s expense is a possible outcome if the owners do not act.
The minutes do not include a formal vote or timeline for enforcement action; the board’s direction was recorded as a consensus to proceed with inspection and owner outreach.
