The City of Somerville is seeking two new members to join the Somerville Condominium Review Board (CRB). Vacancies consist of one full member and one alternate member. 

What is the Condominium Review Board? 

The CRB is responsible for administering the City’s Condominium Conversion Ordinance. The ordinance governs the process for property owners who intend to convert existing rental units into condominiums for sale, or who wish to make substantial updates to existing rental units. The CRB consists of five full members and one alternate member, who serves as needed. 

Who Can Join? 

Somerville tenants are eligible for the full member vacancy. Somerville homeowners and tenants are welcome to apply for the alternate member vacancy. 

What is the Time Commitment? 

The CRB typically meets on the fourth Monday of each month at 6 p.m. In addition to monthly meetings, members are expected to review meeting materials ahead of time, for an average time commitment of 5 to 7 hours per month. CRB members serve three-year terms.

What is the Appointment Process? 

All members are appointed by the Mayor and approved by the Somerville City Council. Appointments include a monthly stipend of $300.
