Mary Harris, president of the Senior Citizens Club, told council the senior building shows foundation cracks and probable basement water infiltration and asked the borough to inspect and address conditions. She also said some seniors lack internet access and may not have received notice about recent water and sewer rate changes.

Separately, Code Officer George Marra reported about $44,000 collected in fees last month (including $18,000 in penalties and $7,000 in UCC permits) and said the Code Committee is working on quality-of-life issues such as makeshift car repair shops operating in neighborhoods; staff will follow up on enforcement and look into a program addressing feral cats, which a council member also raised as a neighborhood concern.
