[MassHistPres] bylaw for exterior maintenance

[james hadley]

In Orleans (Cape Cod) we added some demo by neglect clauses to our demo delay by-law. The key to approval was excluding all owner-occupied structures. We covered only income-producing properties - this included residential rentals.
If someone wishes to have a copy of the Orleans By-Law, please respond to this post and I will attach it to a response.
