Dear Mr. Almeida:
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 320 Lafayette Street Unit 206, conducted by Jeffrey Barosy, Sanitarian of
the Salem Board of Health on September 22, 2025. At that time the following items were still
outstanding:
Living Room:
- According to the occupant, water and air still penetrate the living room through the
living room window. The inspector could not confirm this at the time of inspection.
- According to the occupant, the ceiling in front of the living room window still leaks
water. The inspector could not confirm this at the time of inspection. However, the
occupant showed the inspector video of water leaking from the living room ceiling
after the most recent repairs were made. The videos shown to the inspector lead the
inspector to believe whatever work was performed was not sufficient to permanently
stop the water leakage and air penetration in the living room ceiling, the living room
windows, and the bedroom sliding doors.
Porch:
- According to the occupant, water and air still penetrate the bedroom through the
sliding doors leading to the porch. The inspector could not confirm this at the time of
inspection.
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 June 26, 2025, have been corrected.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
