From and after the effective date of this chapter, any person, firm
or corporation who shall erect or construct any residential dwelling house
in the Borough of Pleasant Hills shall, before an occupancy permit therefor
is issued by the Zoning Officer of Pleasant Hills, issue to the buyer, assignee
or occupant of said dwelling house, a written warranty that all ordinances
of the Borough of Pleasant Hills relating to the construction and erection
of said dwelling house have been complied with fully and completely. This
warranty shall be delivered to the buyer, assignee or occupant of said dwelling
house prior to the actual transfer of occupancy of said dwelling house. The
said warranty shall be for a period of 10 years, and shall run to the immediate
buyer, assignee or occupant and to his successors and assigns during the ten-year
period of the warranty. Notwithstanding any other part of this chapter, the
said warranty required herein shall be deemed to expire and cease 10 years
after the original construction of said dwelling.
[Amended 5-17-2004 by Ord. No. 824]
The Zoning Officer of the Borough of Pleasant Hills shall maintain a
record of all occupancy permits issued and of the name and address of the
person issuing the warranty required by this chapter and a copy of the warranty
so issued. These records shall be open and available to the public during
all business hours of the Borough.
[Amended 5-17-2004 by Ord. No. 824]
The Zoning Officer of Pleasant Hills shall maintain a list of the Borough
ordinances to which the warranty shall apply. These ordinances shall be listed
on the warranty as given. If any person shall believe that one or more of
the ordinances contained in the Zoning Officer's list of applicable ordinances
is improper or illegal, he shall have a right of appeal to Borough Council,
whose decision in this matter shall be final and conclusive.
This chapter shall in no way be deemed to supersede or repeal any existing
ordinance of the Borough of Pleasant Hills.
