Brooklawn Council discuss the sale of Borough homes led to a resolution to hire a real estate broker, who would market the homes for a commission on the sale not to exceed 5 percent.
Earlier this year there were no bids on one of the homes at 212 S. Hannevig Avenue, but a home on Wilson Avenue was sold at an auction through borough advertising.
Currently, residents live in 29 homes rented out by the Borough. Only the two homes were under consideration for sale.
Brooklawn Council approved an ordinance last week to move forward the installation of \”lock boxes\” on certain buildings to allow easier access during a fire or other emergency.
Fire Inspector Carl Thomas previously had approached the Borough Council with the idea.
He said it will enable fire and emergency personnel to quickly enter the building with the use of a key to a \”lock box\” instead of calling and waiting for someone to arrive with a key to the building.
