MAYVILLE – A residence not far from Chautauqua Lake Central School is continuing to get complaints regarding its appearance.

During the recent Chautauqua Town Board meeting, Julie and Tom Lescynski shared complaints about the at 7127 Beaujean Road, not far from the village line.

Town Supervisor Don Emhardt said a court order was issued for it to be cleaned up “but nobody responded.”

Julie Lescynski said there are burned out trailers on the property and one of them partially sits on their own property. She also alleged that trash from that property has now landed on their property.

The Lescynskis have been voicing complaints about the property for two years. “Things aren’t progressing here,” she said.

The property has been visited by the code enforcement officer in the past, as well as members of the Sheriff’s Office.

Councilman Tom Carlson noted that Chautauqua isn’t the only municipality struggling with problem properties.

Emhardt said he would like to see a countywide Housing Court where local municipalities can get their complaints heard, instead of having to go to state Supreme Court.

There have been at least three fires on that property in the last two years.

Julie Lescynski said they have also spoken to the state Department of Environmental Conservation over possible illegal burning.

Attorney Joel Seachrist said the town is in the process of applying for a motion for a default judgment before the court, saying that the property owners have failed to respond to court ordered summons.
