Dear r. Pierre,
I wanted to let you know that during the recent break in the weather that finally cleared the
ground enough such that ladders could be safely placed, steel wire cabling was installed around
the chimney at two levels and tied back to the roof side at two (2) anchor points approximately
eight (8)feet apart. A descriptive picture is enclosed.
Sincerely,

Re: 4 Daniels Street/Chimney
Dear Mr. St.Pierre,
To confirm our conversation of yesterday, I reported to you that it is my intention to upgrade
the heating equipment for the house with a modem gas fired system at the earliest opportunity
this Spring. While my original intention was to vent via the subject brick chimney, I am now
learning that direct vent is likely the better way to go. Given its need for rebuilding, this will
allow me to abandon the chimney and take it down below the roof line.
In the meantime you have asked me to as soon as safely possible cause bracing in.the form of
strapping or some other like means to be installed to tie the chimney back to the roof side of my
house to reduce any possibility of it falling towards the adjacent property.
I will report back to you.
Sincerely,
Bill Kaull

Mr. Kaull,
This department has received and confirmed a complaint regarding the condition of the
chimney on your property. The chimney is visibly leaning and needs to be repaired.
Massachussetts State Building code 780 C,M.R. section 103 requires an owner to maintain in
good condition all systems of a building. Therefore you are directed to have a Licensed
Contractor secure a building permit and to begin repairs within 30 days of this notice. Failure to
make the needed repairs will result in Municipal Code tickets and further enforcement action.
If you have any questions, contact me directly.
