Code Enforcement/Property
Maintenance
The Borough has adopted the International Property Maintenance Code
(IPMC), which provides our Code Enforcement Officer with a powerful
tool to combat blighted and neglected properties. The following is an
excerpt from the IPMC and other similar ordinances which our Code
Enforcement Officer works diligently to uphold.
(Section 302.4)
High Grass and Weeds. All premises and exterior property shall be
maintained free from weeds or plant growth in excess of 6 inches. All
noxious weeds shall be prohibited. Weeds shall be defined as all grasses,
annual plants and vegetation, other than trees or shrubs provided;
however, this term shall not include cultivated flowers and gardens.
