Borough Code Enforcement Reminds Residents of High Grass And Weeds

Its Spring time and the Borough Code Office has been bombarded with complaints of high grass and weeds according to Code Enforcement Officer Ralph Chiappetta.

“Some people waited until the last minute to have their mowers serviced and they are now behind,” says Chiapetta. “Also, it seems like people are cleaning out their property, which is a good thing.”

But this also poses a problem with trash according to Chiappetta.

If you get a dumpster, you must get a permit. Permits are $25.00 if the dumpster is on the street or alley. If its on your property there is no charge, but you still need a permit.

In the case of a “Bagster” type dumpster, it must also have a tarp to cover it to prevent animals and children from getting in and they must be removed withing 30 days.

If you have questions, please contact the Code Office at 724-824-7636.
