It is the policy of the village of Lindenhurst that boarding is a temporary solution to prevent unauthorized entry into a vacant building and that boarded buildings are a public nuisance. A vacant building may not remain boarded longer than six months unless an extension of that time is part of a plan approved by the code official. A vacant building which is unboarded and code compliant and for which boarding is determined by the code official on the basis of police reports, citizen complaints, and other information of other type considered reliable by reasonable persons, to not require boarding to prevent unauthorized entry may not remain vacant for more than two years without an approved plan for occupancy, sale, demolition, or other disposition of the building.
