§ 8.05.030. Registration.

Within forty-five days of a building becoming vacant, each owner of such vacant building shall register said building with the department of municipal inspections by providing such department, on a form to be created by such department, with the name, address and telephone number of each owner of the building, the street address of the building and the map, block and parcel number of such building. If none of the owners are at an address within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, then the registration shall also include the name, address and telephone number of a person who resides within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and is authorized to accept service of process on behalf of the owners, and who shall be designated as a responsible local agent, both for purposes of notification in the event of an emergency affecting the public health, safety and welfare and of service of any and all notices issued pursuant to this chapter. The failure timely to register a vacant building shall be a violation of this chapter.
