Northfield Board of Health continues investigation of Strowbridge Road property after resident complaint
Summary
The Board said its Health Inspector is pursuing a state-ordered investigation of a Strowbridge Road property and scheduled a multi-agency site visit; a resident told the Board conditions have worsened and thanked the Board for its work.
The Northfield Board of Health continued its investigation into a property on Strowbridge Road during its May 27 meeting, saying the town’s Health Inspector is carrying out a state-ordered inspection and will coordinate a site visit with the Fire Chief, Police Chief and Building Inspector.
A resident from Strowbridge Road told the Board that conditions at a neighboring property “have not improved and are getting worse,” and said they appreciated the Board’s efforts while acknowledging the state-mandated timeline for corrective action. The minutes record the resident’s remarks during the public comment period and did not include a request for further immediate action beyond the planned inspection.
Board members discussed the ongoing process but did not record a new formal motion; the minutes state the Health Inspector will continue the investigation according to the state order and timeline and that a multi-agency visit has been set to assess the property. The Board did not specify a date for enforcement action in the minutes.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: the Health Inspector, the Fire Chief, the Police Chief and the Building Inspector will visit the property to assess conditions and determine any required follow-up under the state order. The Board will continue to monitor the situation and was thanked by the resident for its ongoing work.
