Council discusses clarifying Ordinance 777 on HUD inspections and repair timelines; drafts to be prepared
Summary
Council discussed proposed changes to Ordinance 777 to require HUD inspections be within 30 days for acceptance in lieu of a town inspection, and to set a 30-day repair deadline after notices of violation; council requested draft amendments and took no action.
Council discussed revisions to Ordinance 777 Aug. 13 to clarify timing for accepted HUD inspections and to add a 30‑day repair timeline after a notice of violation. Code Enforcement recommended that a HUD inspection be valid only if conducted within the previous 30 days for acceptance in lieu of a Town of Nutter Fort inspection, citing repeated failures for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
Council also discussed updating an antiquated reference to section 1511.01 so the town code would explicitly reference the current West Virginia Property Maintenance Standards adopted into the town ordinances in 2018. No action was taken; staff will draft revised text for sections 777.09 and 777.11 and present it at a future meeting.
