Board schedules July public hearing over long-running nuisance at 3 Westbrook Drive
Summary
Code enforcement staff presented repeated violations at 3 Westbrook Drive and the board voted to schedule a public nuisance hearing for July 8 at 7:00 p.m.; staff was instructed to document conditions with a second inspection and photographic records before the hearing.
The Village of Nassau board voted to schedule a public hearing for July 8 at 7:00 p.m. to consider declaring 3 Westbrook Drive a public nuisance after staff reported repeated code violations. Staff member Matt (introduced to the board as Matt) said the property has received multiple violation letters and appearance tickets, and described piles of debris, a non-closing front door and possible fire hazards; he said the owner has twice paid fines but conditions had returned.
“We can declare a public nuisance and go clean it up,” Matt told the board, describing the process that could allow remediation and recovery of costs. The chair and board members discussed the legal procedure: staff must conduct a second inspection and file a written report before the hearing, the owner must be served notice so neighbors and the owner can appear, and the board can choose whether to determine the nuisance at the hearing based on the evidence. The motion to set the hearing carried on a voice vote.
