Lindenwold Borough Confronts Property Maintenance Issues as Residents Demand Action

The Lindenwold Borough Council meeting on January 17 addressed concerns from residents about neglected properties, particularly the abandoned property on Cypress Avenue. During the meeting, a resident highlighted the severe state of disrepair, noting that the property has been without windows, doors, plumbing, or electricity for at least a decade. The resident stressed that the bamboo from the property has infiltrated his septic system, and he expressed frustration over recurring damage from falling trees. He urged the borough to take immediate action to resolve these issues, emphasizing the potential liability due to continued negligence.

In addition to the property concerns, the meeting also saw the administration of oaths to re-elected council members. The council approved a bond ordinance for the acquisition of equipment and capital improvements for the borough and sewer utility. These actions are part of their ongoing efforts to enhance local infrastructure.

The meeting featured the announcement that the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission will host a mobile unit at Lindenwold Mall from January 26 to January 30, offering services like Real ID issuance. Residents were encouraged to register for the event as slots are still available.

Animal control services were another point of contention. Residents voiced complaints about the lack of response from the animal control service, prompting the council to commit to addressing these concerns in an upcoming meeting with the service provider.
