[MassHistPres] Demolition Delay By law

[Jane Guy]

Salem's policy is that the Waiver of Demolition Delay is permanent as
long as the property does change hands (once the 6 months has elapsed,
they can demolish anytime thereafter).  However, if there is a new owner
and the building was not demolished by the previous owner, then the new
owner will need to start the process over.

One point to remember is that the normal permit is for 6 months and only
continues if work is commenced. If no work has been done, there has to
be a new application. At least this is true in Greenfield.  Marcia
