Resident raises complaint about neighbor’s generator running '24/7 since March'
Summary
At the Aug. 14 Madrid Town Board meeting, resident Kate Castaldo reported a neighbor has run a generator continuously since March and said staff member Jeff has visited twice and sent a letter; the board asked staff to document the issue and is preparing a code‑enforcement job description.
Kate Castaldo told the Madrid Town Board on Aug. 14 that a neighbor “has been running a generator 24/7 since March,” and said the continuous operation has raised health concerns for people nearby. She said Jeff has visited the address twice and has sent a letter but found no one at the door.
Board members directed town staff to gather evidence and documentation. According to meeting minutes, Jeff was asked to take photographs and submit documentation for the properties discussed, and Tony Cooper said he is drafting a job description for a code‑enforcement position to help address ongoing property complaints.
The report did not specify the neighbor’s name or the address involved, and no formal enforcement action was recorded at the meeting. The board did not set a deadline at the Aug. 14 session; the clerk recorded that staff follow‑up and documentation were the next steps.
