H 4752 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act permitting the city of Revere to establish penalties and liens for rooming house & certificates of fitness ordinance violations

This bill allows the city of Revere to create specific fines and property liens for violations of its rooming house regulations and safety permit (certificate of fitness) rules. It directly affects rooming house operators and property owners in Revere who fail to comply with these local ordinances. The key mechanism is granting the city authority to establish and enforce these financial penalties and liens, rather than changing the underlying rules themselves. The bill requires approval from Revere's mayor and city council, as noted in the petition.
