Aside from enforcing certain Borough ordinances and codes, the Code Enforcement Officer is responsible for issuing building, electrical, plumbing and demolition permits. It is noted that permits are required for everything except: painting, wall coverings, and floor coverings. Residents are required to complete an application form prior to a permit being issued. With the exception of new construction or major reconstruction, most permits are issued within three (3) days of submitting the required application form.
Permit applications are available at the Codes Office in Borough Hall, or can be dowloaded here:
- snow removal
- grass cutting
- property maintenance
Residents are reminded that all sidewalks must have a 24" wide path cleared within 24 hours after a snowfall; that grass or vegetation must be maintained to a height of six (6) inches or less; and that all premises are to be maintained in a clean, safe and sanitary condition, both inside and outside.
