NOTE: The inspector conducted two re-inspections on the 121" and 18th of November 2025. During the second re-inspection, the inspector was accompanied by the Regional Public Health Trainer, Stephen Casey, Jr. During the second re- inspection it was determined the glass panes in the living room window's sashes and the bedroom's sliding doors leading to the balcony were intact and thus were not in violation of 105 CMR 410:000 Minimum Standards of Fitness for Human Habitation at this time. The inspector and the trainer determined the windows and sliding doors opened, closed, and locked as designed. In the living room, cool air was felt at the top corner edge of the window frame and at the top middle of the window. However, upon further investigation, exterior wind did not appear to enter through these areas during the inspection. In the bedroom, air could not be felt around the sliding doors' frame. It was noted that caulking and felt weather stripping was added around the edges of the sliding doors and the sliding doors' frame by the occupant. During the re-inspection on November 12, 2025, in the bedroom, condensation was observed on the interior side of the glass in the right-side sliding door. During the re-inspection on November 18, 2025, no condensation was observed on the sliding doors. The inspector advises the property owner and property manager to monitor the windows and sliding doors for deterioration. All violations noted in the inspection report of June 26, 2025, have been corrected. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
