Hi, Mr. Singer,
Thank you for reaching out to us with your concerns. Please see our responses below:
1. The Nickel Building on Main Street: It may seem that nothing is happening at this location on E. Main Street, but I assure you that behind the scenes, there is much being done to restore this building to its former grandeur. There are significant renovation plans that have recently been approved by the Maryland State Fire Marshal's office, the Maryland Dept. of Housing and Community Development, the Maryland Historical Trust, and the City's permitting department. The building permit is expected to be released this week, and the renovation work will begin soon thereafter. The cones are in place as a precautionary measure, and while they are not the most attractive sight, they ensure the safety of the public, which is the City's utmost concern. The building will be outfitted with an all-new facade in the coming months, and the cones will be removed once the front-facing renovation work is complete. We appreciate your patience!
2. High grass on W. Mechanic Street: The City does have an ordinance stating that grass may not be more than 12-inches in height. I have alerted our Code Enforcement Officer to the concerns you've raised, and he will be doing extra enforcement duties in that location. If you ever have code enforcement concerns, please feel free to call code enforcement at 301-689-6000, ext. 109.
Thank you again for reaching out to us about these matters, and please don't hesitate to call with any future concerns.
Sincerely,
Bethany Fife
Director of Community Development
