[MassHistPres] Demo ByLaw Statute of Limitations

[Ann Chapdelaine]

Does anyone have a statute of limitations on the Demolition Delay By-Law in
their city or town? We allowed the demolition of an historic house three
years ago.  The owner decided not to demolish the house.  He sold it and the
new owner wants to demolish the house.  Our building official notified us of
this new application but told us that we already voted to allow the
demolition and he said since we voted he will allow it and that there is no
statute of limitations in our by-law.  I am wondering if there is  a statute
of limitations in the State Building Code for demolitions?  We have  several
new member who may not have voted the way we did at the time but would enact
the 6 month delay period.
