Upper Darby Speeds Up Property Fixes | Philadelphia News

Upper Darby is speeding up property maintenance with a new “quick ticket” system targeting 17 common violations like trash piles, overgrown grass, and misplaced dumpsters—each carrying fines from $50 to $100—to fix problems faster and change behavior. With over 7,000 complaints this year—40% about grass and trash—the township aims to tackle rat infestations and unsafe conditions. If approved by council on Sept. 2, the program launches immediately but tickets won’t be issued until Jan. 1, giving inspectors time to train and residents time to prepare. Appeals remain available, and similar programs already work in Norristown and Reading. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
