What are some of the regulations in the Property Maintenance Code?
The intent of Sugarcreek Township’s Property Maintenance Code is to maintain the exterior of properties and building occupancy, and to address those areas not currently covered in the Township’s zoning and nuisance regulations. Typical examples of violations would include the prohibition of boarded up windows, gutters or downspouts that are not secured to a structure, missing siding, shingles falling from roofs, shutters not secured to a home. Less typical violations may include overcrowding, plumbing and heating fixtures not properly maintained, and infestation.
