Earl supervisors amend International Property Maintenance Code in Lancaster County

The code, which outlines minimum standards for the upkeep of residential and commercial properties, has been a hot topic of discussion in the township for months. Some residents argue that the current code is too strict and places unnecessary burdens on property owners, while others believe that the regulations are necessary to maintain the beauty and safety of the community.

The amendments made by the supervisors address several key issues, including the maintenance of sidewalks, the removal of graffiti, and the upkeep of landscaping. Additionally, the supervisors have added new provisions related to the storage of vehicles and the maintenance of fences and walls.

While some residents are pleased with the changes, others are concerned that the amendments do not go far enough in addressing the underlying issues with the code. Some argue that the regulations should be more flexible to accommodate the needs of individual property owners, while others believe that stricter enforcement is necessary to ensure compliance.
