I have contacted the LLC at two different Washington, PA addresses and have had no response. I also tried to get a name for a person responsible for the LLC through Oxford House. After many phone calls, I was informed they were not permitted to give out such information. I will attempt sending another letter to the same address. Property taxes are not current; someone was interested in purchasing the property through back taxes, but did not follow through with obtaining a deed. We will check out the property and make sure it is secured.

Nothing illegal here
Unfortunately the DEP is requiring everyone to remove downspouts from their sanitary sewer lines. Leaving only the city streets or alleys to channel the water to a storm drain. I agree the ice is a hazard but we can only treat it when we are able.

Owner to provide building inspections dept. with the truss specifications and install hurricane ties. Property owner to provide Code Official with drawings when the project starts back up. The property owner invited inspectors to stop by on a weekly basis to make sure everything was constructed properly. Building Inspections Department will continue to work with property owner to make sure everything is code compliant for the project. Overall good meeting and we will keep everyone posted of project.

Nothing illegal here
Unfortunately the DEP is requiring everyone to remove downspouts from their sanitary sewer lines. Leaving only the city streets or alleys to channel the water to a storm drain. I agree the ice is a hazard but we can only treat it when we are able.
