Reader says its time for strict enforcement of the Village maintenance code

I’m glad to see that this has come to the attention of our council.
If the owners do not respond, paper them with daily fines, and if appropriate, force a tax sale/auction if the property is in arrears.

I’d also like to see strict enforcement of the maintenance code that includes:
Bushes blocking the view at many corners in town.

Non-political signs on properties (from the dummies who live on the ‘cut through streets’= your lawn signs that are actually on Village property make this place look like shit. “Drive like your kids live here’ signs look like Hopper ave in waldwick’. Go ask the signal bureau to make a ‘slow children’ permanent sign. (your signs are illegal as they are not political)

Lots of sidewalks that need to be replaced.
Peeling paint on many homes.

The lazy residents that put their recyclables and yard waste cans out 4 days before pickup, and leave the stuff out there 3 days after.

And since the RPD does NOTHING about the cars parked on the street all night , the street sweepers cannot do their job in the morning and there is always crap on the streets blowing around.-hence the reason for this ordinance.

Do something about the barking dogs.( too many of you newbies think its ‘fashionable’ to ‘rescue’ a pitbull or junkyard dog mutt. I hope your homeowner’s insurance company is aware of it because sooner than later you will have a claim.
Every one of the lazy residents that gets a dog and puts up an invisible fence creates a territorial animal that barks and growls. Learn how to take care of an animal that needs social interaction. Its not a plant.
