RE: SALEM YMCA
While standing in front of the Health Department I noticed what appear to be loose bricks at the
top of the wall near the roof line of the YMCA building.
The problem can best be seen while standing in the Y parking Iot on North St.
You may want to get a closer look and advise the Y of your findings.
Thanks,
