RE: Complaint Received Regarding a Stormwater Discharge Violation
Dear Mr. Llewellyn,
As of August 1611, 2024 it has come to my attention that you have a leader
discharging rain runofffrom your home's roof onto an adjacent carport roof.
The collected water on the carport roof then is discharged by a leader that is
placed in proximity of the property line for your lot. I stopped by your property
on August 1911, 2024 where I observed the aforementioned described
conditions. As per the 2015 MA International Residential Building Code,
Section 401.3 "Drainage,,, Surface drainage shall be diverted to a storm sewer
conveyance or other approved point of collection that does not create a
hazard....Temporary and finished grading shall not direct nor create flooding
or damage to adjacent property during or after completion of construction."
Currently, a portion of your roof water catchment area, combined with the full
water catchment area of the carport roof, is discharged at your property line which
then slopes down towards your neighbor's property. This installation is a violation
of the MA Building Code. I would like to speak with you about the current
situation. Please contact the Building Department at(978) 619-5642 upon receipt
of this notice. If you are aggrieved by this letter, your appeal is to the Board of
Buildings, Regulations and Standards in Boston, MA.
Sincerely,
Gail Kubik
Local Building Inspector
