8.31.2026 Board of Health

The Fall River Board of Health held a meeting on August 31, 2026, primarily addressing health and housing inspection issues. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of licenses for new spa locations and inspections of properties for health code compliance. A significant portion of the meeting focused on a tenant's appeal regarding pest infestation and structural concerns at a housing authority property, with the board ultimately denying the request to amend the inspection report. The board also approved a local upgrade request for 115 Newhall Street. Updates were provided on state health orders and upcoming community health surveys, but no direct contract awards or procurement actions were reported.
