Introduced Text

Massachusetts H983 aims to address crumbling concrete issues caused by pyrrhotite or framboidal pyrite in foundations.

Massachusetts H983 introduces measures to tackle crumbling concrete in residential properties due to pyrrhotite or framboidal pyrite. It establishes a Crumbling Concrete Assistance Fund for financial aid to homeowners for foundation repair or replacement. The bill mandates aggregate manufacturers to submit test results for pyrrhotite and framboidal pyrite, and requires home inspectors to inform buyers or lessees about potential concrete issues. It also waives building permit fees for concrete foundation replacement and allows property tax abatements for affected properties.
