Stoddard Officials Press Mortgage Company to Clean Up Murdough Road Health Hazard
Summary
The Selectmen discussed an urgent trash and health-hazard situation at a mortgage-company-owned property on Murdough Road and said the Health Officer is involved; the town may issue formal notice and fines if cleanup does not occur promptly.
Town officials told the Selectmen April 13 that a property on Murdough Road poses a serious trash and health-hazard problem, and that the property is owned by a mortgage company. The Health Officer is involved and staff are trying to contact the mortgage company to arrange cleanup.
Board members described the situation as urgent given warmer weather and wildlife activity. If the mortgage company does not act quickly, the town may issue a formal notice and assess fines under applicable property-health regulations. The board directed staff to escalate efforts to reach the correct contact at the mortgage company and to begin enforcement steps if necessary.
Next steps: the Health Officer and staff will continue outreach to the mortgage company and will prepare formal notice and enforcement action if the property is not remediated promptly.
