Council records violations for backyard chickens; solicitor to issue summons for noncompliance
Summary
Council minutes show violations were sent to two properties over backyard chickens and that the borough solicitor will send a summons to one property owner for failing to respond; multiple residents complained about odor.
The Picture Rocks Borough Council on April 6 recorded enforcement actions for backyard chickens at two properties and directed the solicitor to proceed with legal process where owners failed to respond.
The minutes state "A violation was sent to 181 Church Street Amanda Schneider for having chickens on property." For 258 N Main St., the minutes say the solicitor will send a summons to appear at District Magistrate for failure to respond to a violation concerning chickens on the property of Calvin Vermeire; the council also noted several resident complaints about odor.
The minutes do not record council votes on fines or abatement schedules; they reflect staff and solicitor-led enforcement steps. Councilors instructed staff to continue code-enforcement follow-up and to report back to the council on any scheduled magistrate appearances or remedies.
