Gloucester landlords and tenants- listen up!

The City of Gloucester has just rolled out its new “Bags to Bins” trash and recycling program. Under the new contract with Casella Waste Systems, Gloucester residents will be automatically enrolled in “Standard Service” and will be charged $300 per year.

Whether a landlord can pass on this cost to their tenant will likely depend on what their lease or rental agreement says.

Most leases should specify whether the landlord or tenant pays for separately metered utilities and services, as well as who takes responsibility for trash removal.

However, there may be some written leases that made sense when signed but now have “conflicting” terms as a result of the City charging trash removal on utility bills. Landlords who want to pass this cost to their tenants should seek qualified advice before doing so.

Gloucester is filled with historic treasures, and few are as iconic as the Rocky Neck Historic District.

Rocky Neck is home to one of America’s oldest continuously operating art colonies AND one of the nation’s oldest continuously operating shipyards. For generations, artists, fishermen, and residents have shaped the neighborhood’s unique character, creating the vibrant waterfront community we know today.

To help preserve that historic character, homeowners within the Rocky Neck Historic District may need approval from the Historic District Commission before making certain changes to their property. Navigating historic district regulations can be complex, so it’s worth understanding the applicable requirements before beginning any renovation or improvement project.

Another Approval Secured! 🎉

Not every zoning case is about building something new. Sometimes it’s about protecting what’s already there.

Our clients owned a property that was being used as a three-unit multifamily home when they purchased it, but City records only recognized it as a single-family house.

We successfully represented them before the Gloucester Zoning Board of Appeals to legalize the existing multifamily use, allowing all three units to be preserved while bringing the property into compliance with current building and safety requirements.

A great result for our clients and for preserving local housing. 👏
