This office has received a complaint regarding rodents on your property located at 11 Jackson Street in the city of
Salem,Massachusetts.
An on-site inspection was conducted on July 14,2023 by Jeffrey Barosy,Sanitarian for the Board of Health.
During the inspection two rat burrows leading from the property to the neighboring properties of 2 Jackson Terrace

Raccoons,rodents,etc. are considered a neighborhood nuisance and community health hazard.
The rear of the property and any other parts of the property rats may be harboring must be exterminated inside and
out by a licensed exterminator. Either remove plant overgrowth or manage plant life on all sides of the property so
