Council hears Kraft Municipal Group enforcement process, tables action on dilapidated structures

Richland Borough Council · May 26, 2026

Summary

Kraft Municipal Group outlined multimember enforcement steps for code complaints, including NOV timelines and possible citations. Council asked for solicitor input and tabled direction on specific dilapidated properties pending legal advice.

Glenn Bertolet of Kraft Municipal Group summarized the borough's enforcement workflow when complaints are received. He described an initial notice of violation (NOV) that gives property owners 20–30 days to correct, a follow-up and issuance of a final NOV with half the original time (10–15 days), and subsequent measures that can include posting, issuing tickets, or filing a non-traffic citation through the district justice office.

Bertolet asked council for direction on enforcement actions for a couple of dilapidated structures that remain non-compliant. Council briefly discussed the options and elected to table the matter pending further discussion with the Borough solicitor, leaving formal enforcement direction for a future meeting.

The discussion described practical enforcement steps and timelines but recorded no new ordinance changes or specific enforcement actions at the workshop.
