Board discusses repeated trespass and living‑conditions concerns at 36 Lake Avenue
Summary
Trustees and police described a recurring problem at 36 Lake Avenue involving a tenant with cognitive impairment, utility disconnections, and landlord responsibility; DSS and code enforcement involvement was discussed as next steps.
Trustees and police updated the board about a housing and code enforcement matter at 36 Lake Avenue, where a tenant repeatedly returned to the property after being asked to leave. Officials said they coordinated with the Department of Social Services to place the individual temporarily and discussed landlord‑tenant responsibilities when utilities have been disconnected.
Board members described efforts to restore the building to habitability and discussed code enforcement steps and civil remedies available to displaced tenants. One trustee noted that if the owner can demonstrate legal ownership and complete repairs, the village will advise on steps to have power and water restored; officials stressed that social services involvement depends on the tenant's cooperation.
