Summary

Building and code staff updated trustees on multiple commercial permits and enforcement matters, including issued demolition permits for 7‑11/Sunoco, a $5,000 Burgerology payment plan, a façade violation at 195 Main Street, pending permits for two Marquis Plaza eateries, and review of McGrath’s expansion plans.

Village building and code staff provided a multi‑item update at the Feb. 17 work session. The minutes state a demolition permit has been issued and fee paid for the 7‑11 and Sunoco sites and that discussions are underway to remove existing fuel tanks, pumps and canopy. Staff also reported a Burgerology payment plan starting Dec. 1, 2025 to address a $5,000 overdue balance; Burgerology has engaged more frequent hood‑cleaning services as part of compliance follow‑up.

The Building Department noted ongoing multi‑family and rental inspections, the backlog of open building permits is being addressed, and applications for a coffee shop and a chicken restaurant in Marquis Plaza are in the permit process. The Code Department is investigating alleged illegal rentals and violations at 485 Main Street, and 195 Main Street proceeded with façade changes without Planning Board or permit approval and will be issued a violation and penalty building fee. McGrath’s proposed expansion upstairs is under review with Building Inspector Cinquemani and an architect; minutes record these items as active administrative matters rather than final decisions.
