In accordance with Chapter'11, Article XIII of the City of Salem Code of Ordinances, Section 2-334, titled "Certificate of Fitness," each dwelling unit must be inspected and certified prior to allowing occupancy. The Inspection will be conducted in accordance with 105 CMR 410.000; State Sanitary Code, Chapter 11: Minimum Standards of Fitness for Human Habitation. Please notify us if you do not intend to rent the unit. Please contact this department within 24 hours of receipt of this notice at 978-741-1800 to schedule an appointment for an inspection. Our office hours are Monday through Wednesday from 8:00 a.m. — 4:00 p.m., Thursday 8:00 a.m.to 7:00 p.m., and Friday 8:00 a.m.—12:00 p.m. Failure to comply with this procedure may result in a fine of fifty ($50.00) dollars per day for every day that the dwelling unit is occupied without a Certificate of fitness. A$50.00 check payable to the City of Salem is required for each unit inspected at the time of inspection. A property owner is required to pay gas and electricity for residential tenants if there is not a written letting agreement stating the tenant is responsible for those utilities and if the meter(s) records electricity and gas use which is not used exclusively by that tenant. The Department of Public Utilities has billed property owners for their tenants entire utility bills retroactive to the date of initial occupancy in cases in which cross-metering has been proven to exist.
