March 27, 2024 UPDATE: At the March 26, 2024 council meeting, the amendment to the Rental Property Ordinance which would have eliminated Article II – Lead-Based Paint Inspections, was vetoed, and the veto was not overridden by Borough Council based on the requirements of the PA Borough Code which stipulates that a “majority plus 1” vote is necessary to override a veto – the vote to override the veto was 4-2. Therefore, the existing Rental Property Ordinance remains unchanged and in full effect, including the requirements set forth in Article II for lead-based paint inspections.

3-13-24 Update: At the 3/12/24 council meeting, Borough Council, by a 4-2 vote, approved the amendment to the Rental Property Ordinance. The ordinance is currently under review by the Mayor. Updates will be posted regarding the status of the ordinance when available.

Regarding the pending ordinance: The purpose of this ordinance is to make a change to the existing Rental Property Ordinance. The change is the elimination of one section of the Rental Property Ordinance – the section which requires lead-based paint inspections.

If adopted, the remainder of the Rental Property Ordinance would remain in full effect, which means that all of the other inspections and administrative requirements still apply and are required.

Because this is the Rental Property Ordinance, just as the lead-based paint inspection requirements only applied to rental properties, all of the other inspection requirements of this ordinance only apply to rental properties, and not to owner-occupied properties.
