If it finds that it is not in compliance, it shall specify, in writing, the specific grounds for noncompliance, and such dwelling unit shall not be reoccupied until such defects have been corrected to the satisfaction of the Board of Health, or its designee, and it has issued a certificate of compliance.
Under Clarksburg, Mass., Code of Bylaws CH. 95 § 95-2, the Board of Health or its designee is responsible for inspecting dwelling units against the State Sanitary Code. If a unit passes inspection, the Board issues a certificate of compliance. If a unit fails, the Board must put the specific reasons for noncompliance in writing, and the unit cannot be reoccupied until the deficiencies are corrected and a certificate of compliance is issued.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under CH. 95 § 95-2, compliant operators ensure that any dwelling unit subject to Board of Health inspection meets the State Sanitary Code before reoccupancy is permitted. When a unit is found noncompliant, the written notice from the Board identifies the specific defects that must be remedied. Operators generally document all corrective actions taken and seek re-inspection to obtain the required certificate of compliance before allowing any new occupant to move in.

CH. 95 § 95-2 establishes that a dwelling unit found noncompliant with the State Sanitary Code cannot legally be reoccupied until the Board of Health or its designee has issued a certificate of compliance. Tenants who believe a unit was reoccupied without such a certificate may consider contacting the Clarksburg Board of Health to inquire about the unit's inspection status. Tenant-rights organizations can also help individuals understand what options may be available when a unit has not received the required clearance.
