Clarksburg Looking to AG's Receivership Program to Help With Distressed Properties
By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
CLARKSBURG, Mass. — The town is looking to move two properties into receivership to get them cleaned up and back on the tax rolls.
Health Agent Valerie Bird has raised the idea last month when a Daniels Road property was ordered vacated for multiple code violations. Bird and the Select Board didn't believe the owner had the capacity to address the myriad issues.
Bird recommended the Attorney General's receivership program, which takes blighted property and, through the court system, gets it into the hands of a developer who can rejuvenate it.
Maja Kazmierczak, assistant attorney general with the Neighborhood Renewal Division, offered a virtual presentation to the board on Monday, explaining the program and how it might be able to help Clarksburg.
"We've partnered with over 170 municipalities, and we definitely have over probably about 215 active properties that we're working on," she said. "We've had just about $715,000 in back taxes returned to municipalities through our program."
The program has been around for 30 years in various forms, with the goal to turn abandoned and blighted properties that have code violations into safe housing.
The state's receivership statute allows the court to appoint a receiver to a property if there are code violations and there is no one to repair them.
