Trash Violation Letter
To: Gregory Asset Holdings, LLC Date: Monday, February 20, 2024
Address: 109 Mount Hope Street Time: 3:00pm
City/State: North Attleboro MA 02760
Property At: 52 Jefferson Avenue
Violation Numbers: _2�_ 560 (D): Refuse; Storage
560 (E): Refuse; Collection
570: Maintenance of Areas in a Sanitary and Safe
Condition
B.O.H. Regulation #7
Complaint: At the front and side of the property household bulk items, which include
a mattress, a dresser, and a cat tree, have been left outside. Have bulk items disposed
of in a sanitary manner. Please be aware a private third-party company will need to be
contacted to dispose of mattresses and box springs, as these items can no longer be
collected with regular garbage and rubbish. It is important to keep one's property free
of garbage and rubbish because they can attract and provide harborage for rodents
and insects which can become a public health nuisance. The owner is to maintain this
property in a clean and sanitary manner.
• A continuation of this violation or any other violation of this manner will
result in monetary citation being issue.
