Dear Sir & Madam:
In accordance with Chapter II of the State Sanitary Code, 105 CMR 410.000. Minimum
Standards of Fitness for Human Habitation, a recent re-inspection was conducted of your
property located at 11 Ropes Street Unit 1, conducted by Jeffrey Barosy, Sanitarian of the
Salem Board of Health on July 18, 2024. At that time the following items were still outstanding:
Item #2: There is still evidence of mice in the unit with mice droppings found in kitchen
closets and behind the washing machine and dryer.
NOTE: The inspector had a phone conversation with one of the property owners and she
stated that the pest control service she sent to deal with the mice have been denied
access to the unit by the occupant because they came at a time that is either too early or
too late for the occupant. The inspector does not have proof of this claim, but he will
notify both the occupant and the owners of the regulation pertaining to access to the
unit.
105 CMR 410.003 (E): Every occupant of a residence, upon reasonable notice and if
possible by appointment, shall give the owner thereof, or the owner's representative,
access to the residence for the purpose of effecting compliance with the provisions of
105 CMR 410.000. Access shall be at a reasonable time and shall include, but not be
limited to, any cooperation required for repairs, alterations, pest elimination, and service
of utilities. An owner shall provide at least 48 hours notice to the occupant, except for
emergency repairs for which no notice is required.
Please correct the outstanding violations and contact this office to schedule a final re-inspection
of this apartment.
All other violations noted in the inspection report of March 28, 2024 have been corrected.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter
