BUILDING CODE BOARD OF APPEALS BETHLEHEM TOWNSHIP, NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA NOVEMBER 18, 2026 NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT THE BETHLEHEM TOWNSHIP BUILDING CODE BOARD OF APPEALS, AT 10:00 A.M. ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2026, AT THE TOWNSHIP MUNICIPAL BUILDING, 4225 EASTON AVENUE, BETHLEHEM, PA 18020, WILL HOLD A HEARING CONCERNING THE FOLLOWING APPEAL: Appeal #1-2026 of Linda Mathews and Edward Mathews seeks relief concerning real estate located at 2215 Farmersville Road, Bethlehem Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. The Appellants seek to appeal two (2) "Notices of Violation" issued by the Bethlehem Township Code Compliance Officer on August 28, 2026, and on September 15, 2026. The Code Compliance Officer noted in the August 28, 2026 "Notice of Violation" that transfer of ownership of the subject real estate took place in violation of Bethlehem Township Property Maintenance Code Section 107.6 which mandates that "It shall be unlawful for the owner of any dwelling unit or structure who has received a compliance order" to transfer title if compliance with such notice of violation has not occurred. The second September 15, 2026 "Notice of Violation" reflects that the Appellants maintain an "unlawful structure" that is found in whole or in part to be occupied by more persons than are permitted under the Code, or that the structure was erected, altered, or occupied contrary to law. The Appellants seek a determination that the above "Notices of Violation" are invalid, predicated upon the assertion that (1) The true intent of the Act or Uniform Construction Code has been incorrectly interpreted; (2) The provisions of the Act or Uniform Construction Code do not fully apply; or (3) An equivalent form of construction is to be used. The real estate is located in the Medium-Density Residential (MDR) Zoning District, maintains Northampton County Tax Parcel Identification Number N7 3 9A 0205, and is described in Northampton County Deed Book Volume 2022-1, Page 190082. All interested parties are invited to attend and be heard. Supporting documents are available for review at the Bethlehem Township Municipal Building located at 4225 Easton Ave, Bethlehem, PA 18020 by appointment with Office Manager Erika Soto (esoto@bethlehemtwp.com/ 610-814-6434) Nov 11-12
