Council adopts 2021 International Property Maintenance Code ordinance
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 6‑24 to adopt the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code for the borough; members noted provisions such as a six‑inch weed height (with cultivated garden exemptions) and that some code updates will require future ordinances when state approvals change.
Council voted to approve Ordinance 6‑24 adopting the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code as the borough’s property maintenance standard.
Staff described the ordinance as a routine adoption that makes the 2021 IPMC the borough’s code for property maintenance and noted that some future updates will require additional borough action when state approvals change. A council member highlighted section 302.4, which sets the enforcement threshold for weed height at six inches and clarified that cultivated gardens — such as native meadow plantings at the Moravian Church — can be designated as cultivated garden areas and therefore exempt from enforcement under the code.
The council moved and approved the ordinance by voice vote.
