HE HAD CONCERNS ABOUT THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY NEXT DOOR. THE GENTLEMAN HAS CLEANED UP THE LANDSCAPING ON THAT PROPERTY A COUPLE TIMES TO TRY TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR HIM TO ACCESS HIS FENCE. HE WAS ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT SOME OF THE DETERIORATION ISSUES FOR THE PROPERTY NEXT DOOR. THAT PROPERTY NEXT DOOR IS AN HISTORICAL PROPERTY GOING THROUGH PROCESSES TO REBUILD, REMODEL, REDO, BECAUSE IT'S IN POOR SHAPE. THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN CLEANED UP NEXT DOOR AND IS BEING APPROVED FOR A LOT OF THE REMODEL. SO MR. RUDD SHOULD BE ABLE TO REPAIR HIS FENCE WITHOUT TOO MANY ISSUES. >> OKAY. >> MS.

IT ATTRACTS LOITERING, FIGHTING, CONSTANT ISSUES. ASSAULTS AGAINST WOMEN THAT I'VE WITNESSED. DRUG ISSUES. IT'S BEEN SET ON FIRE. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S -- I JUST KIND OF FEEL THAT, YOU KNOW, I HAVE NO PROBLEM REPLACING THE FENCE. I'VE DONE IT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MY HOUSE. I WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT. I JUST DON'T FEEL THAT IT'S FAIR THAT I WOULD PUT THE MONEY INTO PUTTING IN A NEW FENCE WHEN, YOU KNOW, I'M SITTING NEXT TO A HOUSE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY FALL OVER. YOU KNOW, I FEEL THAT I WOULD JUST LIKE IF I COULD IMPROVE IT WHEN MY NEIGHBOR IMPROVES IT, HIS PROPERTY, YOU KNOW, SO THAT IT'S GONNA BE AN IMPROVEMENT THAT LASTS. >> YOU SAID THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN CONDEMNED? HAS IT BEEN CONDEMNED? >> THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING, THAT THE STRUCTURE WASN'T SOUND. AN ENGINEER -- >> BY THE CITY? IS THERE ANY SORT OF PROCESS GOING ON OR? >> THE GENTLEMAN WAS GOING THROUGH THE HISTORIC SOCIETY AND GOING THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS. SO FAR, ALL OF HIS REQUESTS HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR HIM TO REDO THAT PROPERTY. HE IS ANTICIPATING OVER THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS STARTING THAT PROJECT. >> YOU HAVE A SURVEY? DO YOU KNOW WHOSE PROPERTY THE FENCE SITS ON, FOR SURE? IS IT ON YOUR PROPERTY? >> SO, FROM WHAT I GOT FROM THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT AND MY MEASUREMENTS, THAT BASICALLY BOTH FENCES ON EITHER SIDE OF ME ARE ON A SHARED LINE. >> THEY'RE ON THE PROPERTY LINE? DO WE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT? >> MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THE PERMIT WAS ISSUED THROUGH 207 AVENUE D. >> WHEN IT WAS PUT UP? >> YES. >> LIKE I SAID, I HAVE NO PROBLEM TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE THAT THERE'S IMPROVEMENTS THAT'S GONNA BE HAPPENING ON THE OTHER SIDE SO IT'S NOT GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, GETTING DAMAGED OR, YOU KNOW, WITH THE OVERGROWTH THAT HAPPENS, THAT'S GONNA DAMAGE IT. I FEEL FOR MY NEIGHBOR. THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY CAN BE VERY HARD TO DEAL WITH, AND YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S NOT BEING DEMOLISHED OR THAT THEY'RE NOT LETTING IT HAPPEN. IT'S NOT -- YOU KNOW,. >> DO YOU HAVE COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR NEIGHBOR THAT OWNS THE PROPERTY? >> YEAH, I'VE MET HIM QUITE A NUMBER OF TIMES, AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HIS SITUATION, AND I'VE GIVEN HIM, YOU KNOW, THOUGHTS FROM MY OWN DEALINGS WITH THE HISTORIC SOCIETY OF WAYS HE COULD -- >> WELL, I THINK YOU HAVE TO SEPARATE THE FENCE FROM THAT. I MEAN, THE FENCE IS NOT PART OF THE STRUCTURE THAT'S GOING THROUGH THE HISTORIC SOCIETY, AND YOU'VE GOT THE PERMIT PULLED FROM YOUR PROPERTY. WE CAN'T GIVE YOU LEGAL ADVICE. YOU MIGHT BE SUITED TO CONSULT WITH A REAL ESTATE ATTORNEY IN THE AREA, AND THAT COULD SET UP A MUTUAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE NEIGHBORS FOR THE FENCE TO BE REPLACED. YOU CAN ALSO PUT -- BOARD UP. I'M NOT EVEN SURE. DOES THE FENCE ACTUALLY HAVE TO BE REMOVED OR COULD HE PUT UP A [00:20:08] NEW FENCE ADJACENT TO THAT FENCE? >> IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE REMOVED. THE FENCE IS IN VERY POOR CONDITION. THIS IS ONE OF THE PHOTOS FROM, LIKE, JULY 28TH. SO ALL OF THAT FOLIAGE THAT YOU SEE THERE DOWN AT THE BOTTOM TOWARDS THAT FENCE IS GONE. >> CAN I DEMOLISH IT? >> IF YOU WISH TO REMOVE THE FENCE, YOU CAN CERTAINLY REMOVE THE FENCE COMPLETELY. >> YOU DON'T HAVE TO REPLACE THE FENCE. IF IT'S BOTHERSOME TO YOU. >> I'D LIKE TO PUT ONE BACK, BUT YOU KIND OF HEAR WHERE I'M COMING FROM AS FAR AS WHAT -- >> THAT'S WHERE I'M TELLING YOU I WOULD CONSULT WITH SOMEONE TO CONFIRM WHICH -- IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY DONE THIS, WHICH LOT THE FENCE IS ON. THE CITY HAS YOU HERE TODAY AS THE OWNER BECAUSE THE PERMIT FOR THE FENCE IS TIED TO YOUR PROPERTY, SO THAT'S REALLY WHERE IT STOPS WITH US. >> YEAH, WITHOUT EVIDENCE SUBMITTED THAT IT'S -- YEAH, I HAVEN'T SUBMITTED ANY EVIDENCE. >> I'LL TAKE IT. I JUST DON'T WANT TO PUT MONEY INVESTED -- >> I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT. >> IF I CAN DEMO IT SO I CAN PUT ONE BACK IN THE FUTURE WHEN THINGS IMPROVE, THAT I'M HOTEL H THAT. >> THE CITY'S POSITION IS YOU EITHER DEMO OR REPLACE IT WITHIN 30 DAYS. DO YOU THINK YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH THAT? REPAIR, REMOVE OR REPLACE THE FENCE WITHIN 30 DAYS? >> YEAH. >> ANYTHING ELSE YOU WISH TO OFFER AT THIS TIME? >> THAT'S ALL. >> I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND FIND THAT THE VIOLATION HAVE EXIST AND ORDER THAT YOU BE GIVEN 30 DAYS TO REPAIR, REPLACE OR REMOVE THE FENCE WHERE IT'S DETERIORATING. OBTAIN ALL NECESSARY PERMITS AND COMPLY WITH ALL PERMIT CONDITIONS. AND FAILURE TO COMPLY BY THE DATE ORDERED WILL RESULT IN $100 PER DAY BEING ASSESSED. >> JUST ONE QUESTION ON THAT. SINCE WE'RE DOING THAT HERE, IS THAT ALSO GOING TO APPLY IN EGGER TOWN? >> I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT EGGER TOWN. >> WITH THE HISTORIC BOARD. THEY SAY -- TH, LIKE, THEY SAY U HAVE TO HAVE A FENCE. YOU KNOW... >> YOU'D HAVE TO CONSULT WITH WHOEVER THE ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS ARE THERE WITH REGARDS TO THAT QUESTION. I DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THAT. >> YOU WOULD PROBABLY WANT TO CONTACT PLANNING. THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. >> IN EGGERTOWN, WE'RE GOVERNED BY THE HISTORIC BOARD. >> WHOEVER THE HISTORIC BOARD PLANNER IS, CONTACT THEM. WHOEVER YOUR CONTACT IS WITH THE HISTORIC BOARD. WHENEVER YOU GO FOR APPROVAL WITH THE HISTORIC BOARD, THERE'S A CONTACT, CORRECT? SO JUST CONTACT THAT PERSON FOR APPROVAL. SO USUALLY THERE'S A DEMOLITION PERMIT THAT YOU GOTTA GET TO DEMOLISH SOMETHING, SO CONTACT THAT PERSON. I'M NOT GIVING YOU LEGAL ADVICE, BY THE WAY. NOT YOUR LAWYER. >> OKAY. >> YOUR HONOR, IF HE DOES HAVE TO OBTAIN PERMITS AND FINDS OUT AFTER SPEAKING WITH HISTORIC, IF HE NEEDS ADDITIONAL TIME, IF HE COULD PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME SO WE COULD ADJUST AND APPLY TO SMALL EXTENSION, IF HE NEEDS AN EXTENSION. >> YES, YOU WANT TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH STAFF. IF YOU DO FIND OUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THIS IN 30 DAYS FOR SOME REASON UNKNOWN AS OF THIS MOMENT, STAY IN TOUCH SO THAT THIS ORDER CAN BE ADJUSTED AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET CALLED BACK HERE OR A FINE DOESN'T START RUNNING, BECAUSE 30 DAYS CAN GO PRETTY QUICKLY.
