Dear Mr. Ladas,
The Salem Board of Health has received complaints regarding property owned by you at
213 Jefferson Avenue, Salem, regarding an overgrowth of brush. Generally, this is not
considered a "health offense" unless there is also trash, waste and other debris in the
overgrowth, there is an obstruction of a public way, or the Fire Department deems it a
fire hazard.
An on-site inspection noted there is area of overgrowth that has grown out onto and
around the sidewalk creating an obstruction on Jefferson Avenue. Please take the
necessary steps to cut back the overgrowth to prevent this obstruction from occurring in
the future.
,Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
David Greerit5aum
Health Agent
