Best Time to Contact LPC
We are in contract to buy a house in a historic district. I know we'll have to submit renovation plans to the Landmarks Preservation Commission eventually, but we're wondering if we should ask them now if there are any existing violations. (The thought being if there are current violations, we could negotiate that the seller pay to fix them before we close.) Our attorney doesn't want us to invite scrutiny from the LPC until we absolutely have to. Anyone have advice or experience to offer?
Thanks in advance!

Dead Birds in Clinton Hill
Wondering if anyone else has noticed the amount of dead birds on Clinton Hill sidewalks. Walking around yesterday I saw four (2 of them babies) bodies lying on the ground. Has there been any spraying recently? If anyone has insights regarding this troubling phenomenon, please share. Thank you.

Thanks for the info, everyone. I haven't seen any more dead birds since I posted so it sounds like the wind could be the culprit.

I live in Stoneham and I have seen two baby birds dead in the same week. I think it is alarming. I let the police know but they say there is nothing to be alarmed. I know that in some countries when you see dead bird you have to notify the health board so that they can examine to see if it is not a epidemic that is spreading.

Thanks, all! I'll let you know (in a few months) how it all turns out.
