On
July 9, 2004; a Housing Code Inspection was conducted with a warrant
for 2305 Canby Street after the owner of the property failed to
allow the township to come in and access the
situation. Numerous violations were present and the owner of the
property has until August 16, 2004 to reschedule another
re-inspection or citations will be issued for each of the violations
listed on the violation notice. A hearing also has been set for
Monday, August 9 for the owner for two separate violations for not
maintaining a maintenance program for the roaches in the property
and also for not having a car which is road worthy. Another
inspection did occur on August 26, 2004 and some of the violations
were corrected; but some still remained. One more inspection has
been scheduled for Wednesday, September 8, 2004 at 2:00p.m. to see
if the remaining violations have been corrected. If not, citations
will be issued. A full housing code inspection did occur on
September 8, 2004 and none of the violations have been corrected and
citations were issued for each of the violations being present. A
hearing date has been set for the citations for Friday, November 12,
2004. At the hearing on November 12, 2004; the defendant did not
show up for the hearing and DJ Shugars issued a warrant for her
arrest for several citations from Lynn Roche, Health Officer, George
Drees, Fire Marshall and the Police Department. A constable will try
and bring the defendant in first and then the Township police will
attempt to arrest the defendant. But the situation at the house
still exists for clutter and roaches and mice. A court hearing with
the Commonwealth at Dauphin County court was set for Thursday,
January 6, 2005 and was continued by the defendant until Thursday,
February 10, 2005. The case was continued by the defendant and has
been rescheduled for Thursday,
March 10, 2005. The case has been continued by the Judge hearing the
case and it is now scheduled to take place on Thursday, May 5, 2005.
The case did appear before Judge Scott Evans and the case was not
heard. The reason is that the appeal date had passed and the case
was thrown back to the decision that DJ Shugars made earlier. A new
inspection was conducted on the outside of the property on May 2,
2005 for dog feces being present on the roof. The matter was not
cleaned up and a citation was issued. A full housing code inspection
is scheduled for Monday, June 6, 2005. A full housing code
inspection was conducted and many violations were found again at the
residence. A repeat inspection is scheduled for Wednesday, July 13,
2005. If the violations are still present, the house will be
placarded as UNFIT FOR HUMAN HABITATION and no one will be able to
live in the residence until the whole situation is cleaned up once
and for all. On July 13, 2005; a full Housing Code and Yard
Inspection did occur at the property with Albert Wrightstone, Jr.,
Building Inspector, Lynn Roche, Health Officer, DJ Shugars, and
Susquehanna Township police. The property was cleaned up much better
than it has been; but there are still some violations present and
another re-inspection is scheduled for August 17, 2005 at 9:00a.m.
At the time of the re-inspection on August 17, 2005; Josephine Knoll
was advised to clean up the basement or the house will be placarded
and citations will be issued again. The final re-inspection has been
scheduled for September 28, 2005. She asked to have the
re-inspection postponed and it was postponed till Thursday, October
13, 2005. At the time of the re-inspection; some progress had been
made. She will have one more re-inspection of the property on
Tuesday, November 22, 2005. If all of the violations are not
corrected; more citations will be filed. Plus the property could be
posted UNFIT FOR HUMAN HABITATION if the property goes back to the
original state. On Tuesday, November 22, 2005; no Housing Code
Inspection occurred. The defendant called and rescheduled for
Wednesday, November 30, 2005. At the time of the re-inspection; very
little progress had been made and a citation will be issued. The
defendant was advised. Another housing code inspection will occur
after the beginning of the year. Another housing code inspection was
scheduled for Friday, January 27, 2006. At the time of the
inspection; it was noted that if the next door neighbor saw anymore
mice; a professional exterminator would need to be brought into the
situation. The next door neighbor did call me on Monday morning and
she has been ordered to seek a Professional Exterminator by Friday,
February 10, 2006 or citations will be done. A copy of my letter was
also sent to DJ Shugars. Another full Housing Code Inspection was
conducted on Wednesday, February 8, 2006 and it was determined by
Orkin who was represented by Edward Murphy, Sales Manager that she
did in fact have a major infestation and needed to have a
professional exterminator. Another Housing Code Inspection was also
conducted on Tuesday, February 14, 2006 to see how the extermination
treatment had effected the infestation of mice. Another inspection
has been scheduled to see the conditions of the house on March 15,
2006. At the time of the inspection; some progress had been made
with the level of clutter in the basement. Another inspection has
been scheduled for Wednesday, April 19, 2006. The inspection was
done on April 19 with the assistance of Ed Murphy from Orkin and the
salvage goods accumulation in the basement was less but still some
more work needs to be done. Ed Murphy volunteered his services to
come back and do a free treatment for the roaches for the months of
May and June. A follow-up inspection will occur in May after the
next treatment. The owner of the residence at 2305 Canby Street did
not contact Ed Murphy from Orkin for a pest control treatment. A
formal letter will be
going out to inform her of contacting Orkin to have the treatment
done. I was waiting till after the treatment to go back in and she
did not follow through. A citation has also been done for failure to
follow up with maintenance schedule for the mice. A full housing
code inspection was conducted at the property on June22, 2006 with
Lynn Roche, Health Officer and Ed Murphy from Orkin Pest Control. At
the time of the re-inspection; there was no additional accumulation
of salvage goods nor any more activity of rodents. Another
inspection is scheduled for July 26, 2006. The inspection was
rescheduled and held on Friday, June 28, 2006 with Lynn Roche,
Health Officer and Ed Murphy from Orkin Pest Control. At the time of
the inspection; no activity was noticed for roaches or mice at all.
Another inspection will occur at the end of August.
Inspection was postponed until Friday, September 8, 2006. A
re-inspection did occur on Friday, September 8, 2006 there was no
active infestation present. A hearing is scheduled before the Health
Board on Thursday, September 21, 2006 and they will make the
determination as how things will proceed from here on. The results
of the hearing of the Health Board were for Ed Murphy from Orkin and
myself to go in and perform one inspection on October 27, 2006 and
see what the conditions were and then come back once a quarter for
the next year and re-address the issue in September of 2007. The
results of the inspection were quite good. She needs to continue to
remove items from the basement to reduce the fireload and also to
keep things clean. A follow-up inspection will occur the end of
January of 2007. NEW-The re-inspection of the property is scheduled
for Friday, January 26, 2007 at 9:00a.m.
On July 26, 2004; a Yard Inspection was conducted at 3621 North 6th
Street to look at the storage of salvage goods along the side of the
house and on the back porch. The property owner has a large amount
of salvage goods which needs to be cleaned up and a follow-up
inspection will occur towards the end of August. An inspection did
occur on Friday, August 27, 2004 and some progress had been made;
but another inspection is scheduled for Thursday, September 30, 2004
to check on the situation. The inspection scheduled for this month
was postponed due to the death in the family. Another re-inspection
of the yard will occur in October.
A re-inspection of the property is scheduled for Tuesday, November
9, 2004. At another yard inspection on November 9, 2004; some of the
salvage items have been removed and some of the items were still
present. Another re-inspection of the yard will occur in the spring
of 2005. Another inspection is scheduled for Wednesday, April 20,
2005 to access the progress on the salvage goods. Progress has been
made but a final inspection will occur in May to close the case. I
did inspect the property again on May 24, 2005 and some progress was
made. I am giving the owner another chance because she is elderly to
the end of July to have the matter resolved. A repeat inspection has
been scheduled for July 14, 2005. A repeat inspection was conducted
on July 14, 2005; and she was told that if the salvage goods are not
cleaned up; I will be forced to issue citations. I will do another
yard inspection in the early fall. Another inspection is scheduled
for Monday, November 7, 2005. On Monday, November 7, 2005; a yard
inspection was conducted and substantial progress was made. The case
will be kept open due to the progress that has been made and will
pick-up again in Spring of 2006. April 7, 2006; another yard
inspection was conducted. There was little progress on the
elimination of the salvage goods. It was stated that a final
inspection will be conducted in July if the salvage goods still
remains; a citation will be issued. A final re-inspection has been
set up for August 15, 2006. Tremendous progress has been made in
getting rid of the clutter and another yard inspection has been
scheduled for Friday, September 15, 2006. NEW-The re-inspection of
the property did occur but not much progress had been made and a
citation has been issued.
On August 18, 2004; a yard inspection was conducted at 3422
Schoolhouse Lane with numerous violations present and a
re-inspection of the property will occur in September. A
Re-inspection did occur on September 15, 2004 and a citation was
issued. All of the trash bags in the backyard remained in the
backyard and the outcome of the citation is still pending. This
citation has gone to a warrant and still waiting to be settled. The
citation was claimed and paid
for; but the violation remains so I must start the whole process all
over again. A violation letter will be going out shortly. A
violation letter will also being going out on 6/2/05 for high grass
and weeds at the property. Another series of citations were issued
on the property. This makes two
citations on this property within the last six months. If this
situation doesn’t get cleaned up by the resident; the township will
come in and clean up the matter and then bill the resident for the
services of the highway department. The property finally got mowed
by the owners of the property but I have sent out another notice
concerning the trash to try one more time to get the owners of the
property to comply. If not, the highway crew will be called into
clean the property up and the owner be billed, as well as, cited for
allowing trash to continue to accumulate. Another
citation was issued for the trash accumulation and this is a second
offense. The fine will be larger for the second offense. The
citation that was filed in late June was paid for in full by the
defendant. A driveway was noticed that the grass has not been cut
and a letter informing her to cut the grass and also about the
remaining trash bags is going out shortly. A re-inspection will be
scheduled the beginning of June to access the situation. An
inspection of the property was done and the grass is being cut; but
trash bags are still there. A letter has been sent out informing the
property owner what needs to corrected or another citation will be
issued.
On October 18, 2004; a yard inspection was conducted at 106 Wood
Street. The owner of the property is planning to demolish the house
and put up a modular unit in the
beginning of 2005. I have given an extension to the property owner
to determine when this is going to occur and he needs to report back
to me by the beginning of December. I did not receive a call from
the owner of the property at 106 Wood Street and a re-inspection of
the property will occur in January of 2005. The project did not
start as planned due to the weather And cold temperatures. The
project will not start to warmer weather towards the end of March or
April. The property has been sold so the whole process will need to
start over with the new owners to clean up the property. A letter
will be going out to the new owners of the property. I have not
received a response as of yet. A certified letter will be going out
shortly. A certified letter did go out on June 28, 2005 by certified
mail and the owner did reply via phone and I will wait till the
middle of July 15, 2005 for an answer; then we will take whatever
steps are necessary to have the matter resolved. The owner of the
property did contact me and he is pursuing a loan to work on the
project and needs to be wait for the response from the bank. Once I
know the status of the loan request then I will put this project on
a time frame. The owner of the property has until Wednesday, August
31, 2005 to submit what he plans to do with the property before
citations are issued. A letter was submitted stating that a
potential buyer maybe coming through. A re-inspection of the
property indicated that no violations existed presently on the
property. The owner of the property did call and speak with me and
has received a loan for demolition of the property. The demolition
permit has not been applied for and a letter will be going out to
have a strict timeline and expected date of demolition to be listed.
A demolition permit was obtained on November 15, 2005 to have the

On May 2, 2005; Housing Code Inspections did occur at 2305 and 2307
Canby Street concerning an accumulation of dog feces in the backyard
at 2305 Canby Street and also on the roof off of the one bedroom. A
re-inspection of the property did occur on May 9, 2005 and the dog
feces remained on the roof and in the backyard. A citation was
issued for the accumulation of feces on the property creating a
nuisance for the neighbors. A full housing code inspection has been
set up with Lynn Roche, Health Officer and George Drees for Monday,
June 6, 2005 at 9:00a.m. to re-examine the whole situation. A
hearing is set before District Justice Shugars for Thursday, July 7,
2005 at 2:00p.m. to determine the outcome of the citation. At the
time of the hearing; DJ Shugars decided to wait until after the full
housing and yard inspection to take place. He also accompanied Lynn
Roche, Health Officer, Albert Wrightstone, Building Inspector with
police assistance to inspect the whole house and backyard. At the
time of the inspection; the yard was completely cleaned up and the

reasons for her. At the time of the re-inspection; some problems
still remained and another housing code inspection is set up for
Tuesday, November 22, 2005. At that time; all of the violations must
be corrected or citations will be issued
again for the violations remaining. A re-inspection of the property
did not occur as previously set up on November 22, 2005; no one
answered the door. The defendant did call and requested a new
housing code date and time. The housing re-inspection was conducted
on Wednesday, November 30, 2005 at 9:00a.m. There was no significant
change in the situation. A citation will be issued and re-inspection
of the house will be done in January of 2006. A full housing code
re-inspection was conducted on Friday, January 27, 2006 at 2305
Canby Street. At the time of the re-inspection; it was determined
that she was having some mouse trouble. It was noticed that there
were bate boxes and sticky boards present throughout the house. It
was made clear to the owner of the property that if the neighbor was
experiencing a mice problem that a professional exterminator would
have to be obtained. I received a phone call from the next door
neighbor on Monday, January 30, 2006 and at that time she stated
that she has killed 4 additional mice over
the last weekend. It was stated in a letter that she needs to obtain
a professional exterminator by Friday, February 10 or citations will
be issued until the matter is resolved. A full new housing code
inspection was also conducted on Wednesday, February 8, 2006 with Ed
Murphy from Orkin assisting with the inspection. From the inspection
it was determined that the property at 2305 Canby Street had a major
infestation of mice and needed to have a professional exterminator
be contracted to get rid of the problem. Another housing code
inspection also occurred on Tuesday, February 14, 2006 to access how
the first treatment for extermination went and if any new activity
was seen. Another inspection occurred on March 15, 2006 and the
clutter in the basement had diminished about 40%. More improvement
is needed and another inspection is scheduled for April 19, 2006. At
the inspection on April 19, 2006; the yard was very impressive. No
leaves and no dog feces present. The inside was cleaned up more;
except for the back room under the American Flag which still has an
accumulation about 40%. Ed Murphy from Orkin volunteered his
services to come back for FREE for the months of May and June to
help her with this situation. I thought this was extremely generous.
The owner of the property did not call Orkin and set up the
appointment. A citation has been issued for failure to continue with
the maintenance for the mice and a letter also will be forthcoming
concerning keeping up with the maintenance of the mice. A
re-inspection of the property did occur on Friday, July 28, 2006
with Lynn Roche and Ed Murphy from Orkin assisting with the
inspection and there was no evidence of any activity for mice or
roaches and we will continue to monitor the situation and conduct a

postponed until Friday, September 8, 2006. A re-inspection of the
property did occur on Friday, September 8, 2006 and there was no
active infestation present at the property. Where we go from here
