Code enforcement flags 39 Fenton Avenue cleanup and calls for action on dilapidated Dairy Barn
Summary
Code Enforcement Officer John Broughton reported cleanup progress at 39 Fenton Avenue but expressed concern about outdoor garbage and a growing rat problem; Building Inspector Matt Banks recommended tearing down the old Dairy Barn due to severe deterioration.
Zoning Enforcement Officer John Broughton reported the property owner at 39 Fenton Avenue is cleaning the interior, but bags of trash remain outside and the property will likely require interior disinfecting and mold remediation. Broughton warned that the outside garbage will exacerbate an existing rodent problem and the Board discussed issuing another Appearance Ticket or other enforcement steps.
Building Inspector Matthew Banks reported the old Dairy Barn has broken windows, no electricity and the water meter removed, and stated that it "should be torn down." The Board discussed enforcement and remediation options but did not take a demolition vote at the meeting; next steps include potential appearance tickets and further inspection to determine formal enforcement or demolition procedures.
