Council hears updates on property violations and ongoing cleanup efforts
Summary
Code enforcement reported 43 observed violations during recent patrols, follow-up work on problem properties in the 2800 block of Edge Avenue and 59 Shelton, and noted one ongoing investigation; the fire chief said the properties present fire hazards and the borough is monitoring compliance.
Code enforcement reported multiple inspections and violations during the June cycle. Staff said six inspections were completed and that five violations were observed during patrols for a total of 43 violations; four violations have been abated and one investigation remains open.
The fire chief, during his report, identified the 2800 block of Edge Avenue as a particular concern with approximately 38 violations at a single property and described the basement conditions as a fire trap. The chief said the borough has urged property owners to secure premises, add lighting, and install smoke and CO detectors.
Council asked staff to continue monitoring these properties weekly, and the fire department said it would coordinate with code enforcement and vendors to ensure cleanup and hazard mitigation. No enforcement outcomes (fines or demolitions) were recorded in the public minutes tonight.
