Notebook: Another Weapon in Fight Against Illegal Apartments

What's happening around the Town of Huntington.

The town held a public hearing Tuesday on an amendment to town code that would reclaim the element of surprise in their fight against illegal apartments. 

The proposed amendment would strike the requirement that the Town provide written notice to the homeowner when seeking an administrative search warrant.

Councilwoman Susan Berland thinks it's about time for the change.

"No other town makes you send a letter to the person saying, 'by the way, the judge said we can get a search warrant and come in since you won't let us,'" said Berland. "So let's agree to a future date when we can come in and work together."
