Middletown removes illegal garage and driveway at residence

Dated: April 29 2024

Middletown Township police and code enforcement representatives oversaw the removal of illegal construction work at a property on Langhorne-Yardley Road. According to Middletown authorities, the property owner added a second driveway that encroaches on a PennDOT right of way, as well as a home addition in the rear, a vinyl fence, a retaining wall, a concrete patio, and a shed-like structure, without going through the proper legal channels. Middletown requires property owners to seek permits or variances for those kinds of improvements. The township issued violations and stop work orders against the property owner starting in September 2022. They were ignored, and the property owner escalated construction on the property, again without permits and approvals. A court order allowed the township to remove unapproved improvements that have no chance of obtaining approval, but left other illegal improvements intact for now, because the property owner could obtain permits.
