Harveys Lake Borough Mayor Clarence Hogan has assembled a task force to survey Harveys Lake Borough for code violations.
The task force includes the mayor, council president, zoning officer and the fire chief.
Beginning the first week in July, the group will look for high grass, abandoned vehicles, junk, garbage and abandoned buildings that pose a safety hazard.
Notices of violation will be used. Certified letters will be sent to owners who will be given up to 10 days to correct the violation. If the violations are not corrected when the officers conduct a follow-up survey, violators will face fines of up to $500 a day for each day they are in violation.
