A town on LI that helps the home owner (Hempstead: homes, private school)

[qlty]

I just want to give KIDOS to the town of Malverne for its effort to help home owners to up grade their homes to code compliance with having a program to do the same.Its a shame other Towns do not offer this
but make it a miserable experience getting a CO when it comes time to sell their homes.I saw this on their FIOS town TV Channel,perhaps other towns including Huntington could learn from them instead of making theirs a political format.

now they can focus their efforts on making the schools inhabitable so everyone there doesn't have to pay for private school.

You want to give them your kiddos???

Seriously, towns should be encouraging people to upgrade their homes without holding their feet to the fire.

Well I believe the OP's point whas that it's not common on LI. So I guess it's ok to throw a dog a bone in this case.

How do you suggest they achieve this goal? What exactly makes it "uninhabitable"?

You just asked the loaded question. My guess is some may say minorities moved in. lol

I am confused. Not to get all Walter G. but Malverne is not a town. It is in Town of Hempstead which is the LAST govt on earth to be considered helpful to homeowners. They are notorious world class ballbusters at getting permits and COs. What exactly is Malverne doing that is so "helpful?" I'm curious to know.

I think Malverne is an incorporated village so they have their own rules.

It's a village, so that's where the permits come from and inspections....Garden City same way.
