Select Board approves sale or tear-down requirements for several tax-acquired properties
Summary
Rumford’s board voted unanimously to approve dispositions for multiple tax-acquired parcels, including sales 'as is' with code-compliance or demolition requirements and one parcel tabled for further review.
The Town of Rumford Board of Select Persons voted May 21 to dispose of multiple tax-acquired properties, approving sales or tear-down requirements for several parcels while tabling one address for further consideration.
Brennick moved to sell 6 Erchles Street "as is" with the condition the purchaser bring the property up to code; the motion passed 4-0. The board approved a similar "sell as is" approach for 119 Washington Street, with the successful bidder required to bring the structure up to code. Action on 103 Washington Street was tabled for later consideration.
For two properties on Waldo Street—547 Waldo and 605 Waldo—the board approved sales "as is" that include a requirement to tear down structures as necessary. The board also followed the code-enforcement recommendation for 244 Pine Street and voted to sell 244½ Pine Street "as is" with a requirement to tear down.
Each motion was made and seconded on the floor and recorded as passing unanimously (4-0). The board did not provide additional public detail in the minutes about proposed buyers, sale timelines, or conditions beyond the requirements recorded in the motions.
Next steps recorded in the minutes indicate the town will proceed under the Code Enforcement Officer’s disposition recommendations and any standard municipal sale procedures.
