RE: Laurent Road
Dear Owner,
On Tuesday October 10,2023 an inspection with an administrative search warrant was conducted
along with Building, Health and Fire Inspectors at the above location. The property is in
violation of CMR 780 Sec.]02.8. as there are numerous building and safety violations.
1) The exterior front staircase is unsafe and not accessible.
2) The exterior side staircase rotted and is unsafe.
3) All bedroom emergency egress windows are blocked this is a violation of CMR 780

9) The basement ceiling is falling and not safe.
10)The basement is full of items with no clear paths and surrounding mechanical equipment.
11) Storage under egress staircase in the basement.
Due to safety and Building Code violations I have revoked the occupancy of the building.
You are directed to have a licensed professional submit a permit to correct all building,
electrical,plumbing, and Fire violations. Once all violations are corrected, pass inspection and
the building is safe to occupy, a Certificate of Occupancy will be issued.
If you are aggrieved by this order, your appeal is to the Board of Buildings, Regulations and
Standards in Boston.
