Williamstown Board of Health Pushes for Action on Motel Issue

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Board of Health on Monday morning authorized the health inspector to take a more forceful tone in seeking resolution to an ongoing issue at the 1896 House Inn on Cold Spring Road.
 
Since the summer, the board has been trying to get the proprietor of the Cold Spring Road (Route 7) motel to address electrical issues that pose a potential safety hazard to guests.
 
On Monday morning, Health Inspector Ruth Russell told the body that the owner of the inn has not been forthcoming with the town about a plan to fully address the issues.
 
"As we know, they updated the outlets, as we asked," Russell said. "As I heard from the wiring inspector, we're still waiting for them to upgrade the system to 400 amps. As that was technically part of our letter, I want to bring attention to it.
 
"I know [electrical inspector Joe Beverly] has been moderately in touch with them, but he hasn't heard when the upgrade will happen. We know he's eager to hear that, as are we."
 
Russell told the board that she and other town officials have "struggled" to get answers from the owners of the 1896 House.
 
BOH members expressed frustration with the pace of progress on an issue that has been on the panel's plate since early September.
