Statement on Current Litigation

The Town of Brookline is currently involved in four lawsuits. We have heard residents asking for more information from the Town so we have prepared this statement.

1. A resident has sued the Town complaining that the Town is withholding a building permit for which a satisfactory application has not been received.

2. A resident is unhappy about a Housing for Older Persons development being built in their neighborhood and has filed suit against the Town claiming that the Town should not have approved the project.

3. Eversource has sued a large number of New Hampshire municipalities regarding tax assessments on utility poles. Brookline is named in this suit.

4. The Town is suing a resident who has been running an illegal boarding house with multiple building code violations.
