Residents press council for faster code enforcement, cite dead trees and buffer‑zone concerns

Tracy Rye, president of the Westbrook Village Homeowners Association, told the council that HOA members have repeatedly reported issues in a dissimilar‑uses buffer behind the neighborhood — dead trees, high weeds and other maintenance problems — and that recent complaints to code enforcement received no follow‑up. She told council members that she had emailed the mayor and then Councilwoman Meg Avery, who visited the site within 24 hours.
