In Columbia Borough, officials considered a similar ordinance before deciding not to proceed, said borough code enforcement officer Jeff Helm.
"There was a fear that putting the legislation in place would be too 1984-ish," said Helm. Nonetheless, he said, the borough is aggressive when officials become aware of a problem. "We'll write it up as a violation, and (the property owner) has to have a lead abatement contractor take care of the work," said Helm.
