[MassHistPres] Demolition Delay vs Public Safety

[Robin Ragle-Davis]

We have a demo delay bylaw in Wareham.

Lately the  town has been taking a proactive approach toward ridding  
the town of buildings that are in such disrepair they are considered  
health hazards by the Health Department. Does anyone have experience  
with this sort of thing?

It occurs to me that in such cases where a building has actually been  
considered condemned or deemed a threat to public safety that might  
bypass the hearing process?
