[MassHistPres] Demolitions

Yes that's why I'm asking.  I was under the impression that it was a statewide statute.  Thanks for your quick reply.

Mark, is your question related to your demolition delay bylaw?  If so, then it really depends on how your bylaw has defined what constitutes a demolition.  This varies greatly across the state depending on the wording of the bylaw.  Chris.

Hello all, I remember a presentation a while back that stated changing a roofline constitutes a demolition.  I have been unable to find the Massachusetts General Law that supports this.  Does anyone know the specific MGL number that states this?

Thank you
