Township declares two dangerous structures, orders vacate/repair or demolition
Summary
The board declared a trailer at 3408 Route 715 and a damaged garage at 268 Laurel Lake dangerous, ordered owners to vacate and either repair or demolish within the ordinance timelines (15 days to respond; 60 days to comply).
Pocono Township declared two structures dangerous and ordered owners to vacate, repair or demolish following code‑enforcement reports.
Staff summarized inspections showing a collapsed roof, extensive rot and likely septic/floodplain constraints at a trailer property on Route 715; staff recommended demolition would be more practical than repair. The board voted to declare 3408 Route 715 a dangerous structure and ordered the owner to commence corrective work or removal (15 days to respond; 60 days to comply). The board separately declared an accessory garage at 268 Laurel Lake a dangerous structure after a tree strike and worsening deterioration adjacent to a public walking path, and issued similar vacate/repair/demolition orders.
Code enforcement noted that if owners seek to repair or replace structures they must meet building, septic and nonconformity requirements before receiving a certificate of occupancy; the township will issue notices and allow appeal rights under the ordinance.
