Collingdale Borough Council has approved an ordinance amending its code to require sewer lateral inspections during property transfers and to update inspection and occupancy standards, officials announced. The measure revises chapters governing sewers and property inspections to mandate camera inspections of laterals before a use-and-occupancy permit is issued and establishes a framework for handling violations through temporary access or occupancy certificates, with up to 12 months for repairs to be made. The Suburban Realtors Alliance worked with the borough to ensure language aligning the ordinance with Pennsylvania’s Municipal Code and Ordinance Compliance Act was incorporated.
