Abington, Mass., Code of Bylaws ch 35 § 35-10
Safety (Abington Condominium Conversions)
Operative Text
A. Certification of final approval by the Planning Board shall be deemed to be the signing of the permit only after all involved inspectors have signed same.
Under Abington, Mass., Code of Bylaws CH. 35 § 35-10, a permit is not considered finally approved until every required inspector has signed off on it. The Planning Board's certification of final approval is contingent on all involved inspectors having first affixed their signatures. This sequencing requirement ensures that no permit is treated as fully issued before all safety-related inspections are complete.
Plain English — not legal advice.
For property owners and managers operating under CH. 35 § 35-10, a compliant operator confirms that all required inspectors have signed the permit before treating any Planning Board certification as a final, valid approval. Proceeding as though a permit is finalized before all inspector signatures are obtained could expose a project to compliance issues. Operators generally maintain documentation showing the full chain of inspector sign-offs alongside the Planning Board's certification.

Under CH. 35 § 35-10, tenants have an interest in knowing that any permit affecting their housing has gone through the full inspection and sign-off process before being deemed final. If there is reason to believe a permit was treated as approved without all required inspector signatures, tenants may raise this procedural gap when engaging with local authorities or a tenant-rights organization. General enforcement paths include contacting the Abington Planning Board or local building department to verify the status of required inspections.
