To: Residents of the Borough of East Lansdowne:

This letter is to introduce myself to the residents of the Borough of East Lansdowne. My name is Robert Mould. I have been appointed as the Building Code Official for the borough, effective 10/20/2014. In my role as building code official some of my duties include administering building permits and use and occupancy (U&O) permits. I will also be required to oversee the building inspectors/inspections.

My first two weeks have been a learning experience. After speaking with some of the residents during the course of my duties, I have come across a major concern. It seems to be a misunderstanding of borough zoning and building regulations by some East Lansdowne residents. Unless a property goes up for sale or a building permit is requested or the property has safety concerns, I will not be able to correct any of the mistakes made in the past. Going forward all permits, zoning and building will be administered according to code as they are

currently written in the official book. These codes are subject to change if policies warrant it. In the event there are updates or changes made to these codes that information will be made public on the borough website.

I respectfully request your patience and understanding as we go through the process of standardizing the codes department of the Borough of East Lansdowne.

Thank You,

Robert Mould
Code Enforcement Officer

Today April 4th 2014, State Representative Margo Davidson sponsored the opening of the Long Lane Business Renovation Project with Upper Darby’s Mayor Tom Micozzie and East Lansdowne Mayor John A Dukes Jr and members of the Long Lane Business Association in attendance.

Let it never be said that the elected officials of East Lansdowne are not dedicated to their cause. At tonight’s council meeting, Mayor John Dukes, who could not attend do to an out of state travel commitment, did so via Skype and a borrowed laptop computer.
