Council asks staff to draft revisions to Ordinance 777 on HUD inspections and repair timelines
Summary
Council discussed proposed revisions to Ordinance 777 to require accepted HUD inspections to be no older than 30 days and to set a 30-day timeline for repairs after notice of violation; council requested drafts and took no action.
Councilors and Code Enforcement discussed updates to Ordinance 777 (sections 777.09 and 777.11) during unfinished business. Code Enforcement requested that the town accept previous HUD inspections only if those inspections were completed within the prior 30 days and proposed a 30-day deadline for repairs following a notice of violation.
The minutes also note that West Virginia Property Maintenance Standards were incorporated into the Town of Nutter Fort’s codified ordinances in 2018 and that an antiquated reference to section 1511.01 (related to smoke detectors) should be superseded by updated language. Council directed staff to draft revised language for review at a future meeting; no ordinance amendments were adopted at this session.
