'She Got Away With it Again'
She got away with it again.
That’s how one Summer Street resident summed up the situation with landlord Edna Hallock moving new tenants into a house that had been infested with cockroaches last year.
Steph Viola and several of her neighbors attended Tuesday’s Bradford City Council meeting to inform council that Hallock was moving people into the house.
“We went through, literally, hell this summer,” Viola said. “To know that that house sits there tenant after tenant after tenant and it’s nothing but trash – It’s getting really bad. That’s it in a nutshell.”
“I’m sick of living by this,” Viola continued. “It just broke my heart when I found out she got away with it again.”
Bradford City Fire Chief Boo Coder left the council meeting to see if the property had a certificate of compliance, which would allow it to be rented out. After the meeting, Coder said Merle Silvis and Chris Angell had inspected it, so he could not keep the new tenants from moving in.
At a Board of Health meeting in August, Code Enforcement Officer George Corignani talked about the cockroach infestation at 187 Summer Street, and ordered Hallock to have that house – and the neighbor’s homes – exterminated at her expense.
Neither Viola nor any of the neighbors have been reimbursed for the extermination, they said.

Or we will just get this same old crap for another 15 years!
The Fire Department can't be trusted handling Code Enforcement!
OECD has to be able to do a better job!
