[Ch. 13 of the 1981 Regulations]
The Board of Health may vary the application of any provision
of this Part 1 with respect to any particular case when, in its opinion,
the enforcement thereof would do manifest injustice, provided that
the decision of the Board of Health shall not conflict with the spirit
of these minimum standards. Any variance granted by the Board of Health
shall be in writing. A copy of any such variance shall, while it is
in effect, be available to the public at all reasonable hours in the
office of the Clerk of the city or town, or in the office of the Board
of Health.
The request for all variances shall be submitted by the property
owner in writing to the Board of Health. A hearing shall then be scheduled
within a reasonable time and in accordance with any applicable laws
and regulations. All variances will have an expiration date after
which re-application may be made. Variances will only be valid while
the property remains in the owner's name in which the variance request
was originally made.
