Latest version.
  • All refuse, lumber, debris and other building materials on private property which are visible from the street or an adjoining lot for any reason including, but not limited to, construction in progress for the remodel or repair of any existing buildings, the erection and completion of any new buildings or the addition to existing buildings, all pursuant to a lawfully-issued and currently-active building permit, shall be removed by the property owner immediately or, in the event of work under a building permit, within 15 calendar days from the completion of the aforesaid work. An owner or occupant may need to verify that construction is currently in progress if there has been no construction activity for over 30 calendar days and show good cause why the town should not abate (under section 12-43) the refuse, lumber, debris and other building materials left or stored on the property.
