Latest version.
If it appears that any vacant or foreclosing property is unregistered,
or unsecured, contains rubbish, or contains excessive overgrowth of
vegetation or a stagnant pool or pools of water, the Building Commissioner,
upon being informed of such vacant or foreclosing property without
a certificate of compliance with this chapter, shall cause notice
to issue to the owner, as defined in this chapter, of the status of
the property, the requirements to register and secure the property,
remove rubbish or overgrowth, abate stagnant pools of water and maintain
the property in compliance with this chapter and order said person
to obtain a certificate of compliance. If any person fails to comply
with said order, the Building Commissioner and agents thereof may
commence civil proceedings to obtain injunctive relief or court orders,
including recovery of any unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Town
to enter the property to inspect, secure and clean the property and
remove any pools of stagnant water, together with the costs of the
Town's response as a municipal charges lien as provided in MGL
c. 40 § 58.
