Neighbors report ongoing safety, occupancy and trash issues at 10–12 Central Street; town to consult attorney
Summary
The Town Manager said a Division of Fire Safety re‑inspection at 10–12 Central Street found multiple open violations but DFS declined to post the building uninhabitable; Pickup and staff will consult the Town Attorney and report back to the Selectboard.
Neighbors told the Selectboard they continue to see increased occupancy, campers and renewed trash accumulation at 10–12 Central Street. Town Manager Scott Pickup said a recent Division of Fire Safety re‑inspection with the Fire Chief found multiple violations still open, but DFS declined to post the building uninhabitable.
Pickup said he and staff will consult with the Town Attorney to determine the appropriate legal strategy and will report back at the next meeting. Neighborhood concerns include safety, trash accumulation and overnight activity; one neighbor asked for increased police checks. No formal board action was taken at the June 1 meeting.
Why it matters: open safety violations and continued neighborhood impacts prompted the Selectboard to seek legal guidance to pursue remedies; the minutes record ongoing neighbor concern but do not record specific enforcement steps or timelines.
Next steps: the Town Manager and staff will consult the Town Attorney and return with recommendations.
