Does the township enforce property maintenance?
If a structure is being neglected to the point of being declared a public nuisance, the Board of Trustees are authorized to begin nuisance abatement procedures. If the structure presents a health hazard, the Summit County Health Department should be consulted (330-923-4891). When a property is not being mowed, a complaint should be registered with the Zoning Dept. (330-794-0134) so that notification to the homeowner will be made. If the homeowner neglects to take care of the problem, the township will have the lot mowed and assess the property owner for the costs incurred.
