[MassHistPres] Issuing Fines for Preservation Violations

[Nicholas Armata]

Issuing Fines for Preservation Violations:

The City of Boston Landmarks Commission is interested in issuing fines as
described in our enabling legislation. Do any municipalities in the
Commonwealth issue violations. If so:

   - What was your state enabling legislation/act  that enabled your
   historic districts?
   - Which statutory authority do you use to enforce the fines?
   - What is your appeal process?
   - Do you use 40U to issue fines?

For reference, our enabling legislation is Act of 1975 Chapter 772 & Act of
1955 Chapter 616, both of which call out issuing fines.

Thanks!
