Bellevue revisits rental inspection ordinance

A trimmed-down version of that perennial Bellevue nightmare known as a rental inspection ordinance may have lost enough excess baggage to get inspectors in the doors of the borough’s apartment buildings.

The frequently debated and always abandoned legislation now before council is dramatically streamlined from its previous versions, which contained broad and potentially unlawful requirements regarding tenant registration.

New CEO

Bellevue will officially have a new code enforcement officer next week, although there won’t be any new faces in the borough building.

Assistant CEO Jim Delcroix, who has been the acting CEO since the retirement of Mike Lutz in March, has been hired for that position effective Nov. 1.

Delcroix was the only applicant for the job, officials reported.

Fighting blight

A rundown property. Absentee owner. Code violations on top of code violations. Months in the court system. Fines levied that are never collected. Liens filed against the property to the point that they exceed the value of the property itself.

This is a far too common scenario in municipalities across the state, as officials struggle to eliminate blight that experts say will spread like the flu if left unchecked, taking down property values in the entire community.

Bellevue losing DAS, CEO

Bellevue's search for personnel this spring will extend far beyond the normal complement of temporary laborers and pool staff. The resignations of both the director of administrative services and the borough's code enforcement officer were announced at the March 23 council meeting.

DAS Connie Flasher has held that job for just over two years. She said that she had accepted a position with a municipality in eastern Pennsylvania that will put her closer to her children and grandchildren.

Assistant CEO Hired

A new assistant code enforcement officer (CEO) for the Borough of Bellevue was hired at Council’s May 4 meeting after two executive sessions were held to interview candidates for the position.

Hired was James Delcroix of Bellevue, who CEO Mike Lutz said recently returned to his hometown after working in Texas. According to Lutz, Delcroix has an extensive background in lighting and related electrical matters.

The hiring of Delcroix was approved by Council in an 8-1 vote, with Council member Joe Scioscia opposed to the hiring of any additional full-time employees by the borough.
