Overview
The Board of Public Officers is organized to secure or demolish properties that are abandoned or unsafe for the public. Formal complaints and orders are sent to the owner of the property to make the building safe. If they do not, within a specific time, the Township takes action and places a lien against the property for all costs incurred.
