[MassHistPres] Certificate Enforcement

[Dennis De Witt]

Brookline had a man who put up a plastic fence and over the course of several years adamantly refused to remove it alternately claiming illness and flaunting his esteemed position at a certain esteemed institution — always communication on its letterhead.  

Finally the building inspector imposed a $300/day fine which got his attention.

The building inspector can also withhold issuing a certificate of occupancy.

I am specifically interested in how the conditions of a Certificate of Appropriateness are enforced and by whom when a property owner exceeds the scope of work approved, or does not comply with the conditions set forth in the certificate.  I’m asking about enforcement for both a project in progress, and a completed project.
