The current exemption of "homeowners" was extended to include owner-occupied
dwellings of six units or less and to allow such homeowners to engage an in-
dividual for hire who does not possess a license, provided that the owner
acts as supervisor. (State Building Cade Section 109.1 .1 )
DEFINITION OF HOMEOWNER:
Person(s) who owns a parcel of land on which he/she resides or intends to re-
side, on which there is, or is intended to be, a one to six family dwelling,
attached or detached structures accessory to such use and/or farm structures.
A person who constructs more than one home in a two-year period shall not be
considered a homeowner. Such "homeowner" shall submit to the Building Official ,
on a form acceptable to the Building Official , that he/she shall be responsible
for all Such work performed under the building permit. (Section 109. 1 . 1 )
The undersigned "homeowner" assumes responsibility for compliance with the State
Building code ana other applicable codes . by-laws, rules and requiations.
The undersigned "homeowner" certifies that he/she understands the City of Salem
Building Department minimum inspect-ion'proce res and requirements and that
he/she will comply with sai -procedures and r quireme
HOMEOWNER' S SIGNATURE
APPROVAL OF BUILDING OF
NOTE: Three family dwellings 35,000 cubic feet, or larger. will be required
to comply with State Building Code Section 127.0, Construction Control .
HOME OWNER 'S EXEMPTION
The Code states that: "Any Home Owner performing work for which a building
permit is required shall be exempt from the provisions of this section
(Section 109. 1 .1 - Licensing of Construction Supervisors ) ; provided that is
a Home Owner engages a person(s) for hire to do such work, that sucn Home
Owner shall act as supervisor. "
Many Home Owners who use this exemption are unaware that they are assuming
the responsibilities of a supervisor (see Appendix Q, Rules and Regulations
for Licensing Construction Supervisors, Section 2.15) . This lack of aware-
ness often results in serious problems, particularly when the Home Owner
hires unlicensed persons. In this case your Board cannot proceed against
the unlicensed person as it would with licensed Supervisor. The Home Owner
actinq as supervisor is ultimately responsible.
To ensure that the Home Owner is fully aware of his/her responsibilities.
many communities require, as part of the permit application, that the Home
Owner certify that he/she understands the responsibilities of a supervisor.
On the last page of this issue is a form currently used by several towns.
You may care to amend and adopt such a form/certification for use in your
community.

DECISION ON THE PETITION,OF—JAMES AND CLAIRE BAILEY FOR
A SPECIAL PERMIT AT 81 ESSEX ST. (R-2)
A hearing on this petition was held May 15, 1991 with the following Board Members
present: Richard Bencal, Chairman; Joseph Correnti, Richard Febonio, Edward
Luzinski and Mary Jane Stirgwolt. Notice of the hearing was sent to abutters and
others and notices of the hearing were properly published in the Salem Evening
News in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40Aro
Petitioners, owners of the property, are requesting a Special Permit to increase
nonconforming density by allowing the construction of a sun room in this Residential
Two Family Zone.
The provision of the Salem Zoning Ordinance which is applicable to this request
for a Special Permit is Section V B 10, which provides as follows:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing in this Ordinance, the Board
of Appeal may, in accordance with the procedure and conditions set forth in
Section VIII F and IX D, grant Special Permits for alterations and reconstruction
of nonconfomring structures, and for changes, enlargement, extension or expansion
of nonconforming lots, land, structures, and uses, provided, however, that such
change, extension, enlargment or expansion shall not be substantially more
detrimental than the existing nonconforming use to the neighborhood.
In more general terms, this Board is, when reviewing Special Permit requests,
guided by the rule that a Special Permit request may be granted upon a finding
by the Board that the grant of the special Permit will promote the public health,
safety, convenience and welfare of the City's inhabitants.
The Board of Appeal, after careful consideration of the evidence presented, and
after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact:
1 . Councillor Nowak, the Ward Councillor, expressed support for the petition.
2. No opposition to the proposal was expressed at the public hearing.
3. The proposed addition was designed by a local architect known to the Board
as being sensitive to the historic character of this property and the
zoning district in general.
4. The proposed addition would not be readily visible from the public street.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented, the
Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . The relief requested can be granted in harmony with the district and will
promote the safety, convenience and welfare of the inhabitants.
2. The Special Permit requested can be granted without substantial detriment to
the public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the
intent of the district of the purpose of the Ordinance.
/ DECISION ON THE PETITION OF JAMES AND CLAIRE BAILEY FOR
SPECIAL PERMIT AT 81 ESSEX ST. , SALEM
page two
Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted unanimously, 5-0, to grant the
Special Permit requested, subject to the following conditions:
1 . All construction be in compliance with City and State Building Codes.
2. All construction be in accordance with plans and dimensions submitted.
3. Exterior finishes of the proposed construction be in harmony with the
existing structure.
4. A Building Permit be obtained.
5. A Certificate of Occupancy be obtained.
6. All requirements of the Salem Fire Department relative to smoke and
fire safety be strictly adhered to.

Re : 8l Essex Street - l Orange Street, Salem
Dear Mr. Munroe:
Please be advised I have examined affidavits, voting
lists, census records and assessor records relative to the
above entitled real estate and it is my opinion that it was
a lawful five-family prior to adoption of the Zoning Ordinance
on August 27, 1965. In addition, the records of the Assessor' s
Office indicate it is currently assessed as a five-family.
Accordingly, it is my opinion it should be afforded the
protection of Section VIII (E. ) of the aforementioned ordinance
relative to nonconforming uses and, thus , it ' s current use
as a five-family is permissible.
V ry truly yours,
Zichael E. O' Brien

RE: 81 Essex St., Salem, MA
Dear Mr. Bailey
It has been brought to our attention that interior work
is being done at the above mentioned property. This work
would be in excess of the permit now in place #843-85
which you acquired in 1985.
Please make arrangements with this office to have an inspection
visit at the location to determine what work is in violation at your
earliest convenience.
Respectfully,
