Department of Public Health
Notice of Occupants' Leal Ri;,hts and Responsibilities
This document summarizes some of the legal options that you may have when the owner of a property you live in has
not fixed certain problems in your home, as required by the state Housing Code(105 CMR 410.000).This is not legal
advice.Talk to an attorney before you decide to withhold your rent or take other action described here.
Safe and Healthy Rental Housing:
Rental housing in Massachusetts must meet minimum standards to protect the health, safety, and well-being of occupants.
The Housing Code, 105 CMR 410.000, Minimum Standards of Fitness for Human Habitation(State Sanitary Code, Chapter II),
is the state regulation that sets these minimum standards.The Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Bureau of
Climate and Environmental Health's Community Sanitation Program (CSP) issues this regulation, but the standards are
enforced by local health departments.I CSP works with local health departments and the public to provide training and
technical assistance about the Housing Code. For more information, please see ass.gov/iisis;nousing-comm unity
-
Your Responsibility to Keep Your House Safe and Healthy
The Housing Code also has requirements that people living in rented homes.or apartments need to meet.There are some
problems like pests, mold, and keeping exits clear,that might need the owners and occupants to work together to fix the
problem. For example,occupants need to make sure there is no food or garbage left out that could attract pests or keep
their belongings out of exit hallways. If the local health department is doing an inspection, either by your request or for
another issue;the local health department may tell you there is something that you need to fix.The local health
department may issue you an order to correct and give you a certain amount of time to fix the problem.
Your Right to Safe and Healthy Housing and Protection from Retaliation
If you think that conditions in your home are unsafe or unsanitary and may violate the Housing Code,you should inform .
your landlord first. If your landlord does not adequately address these concerns,you should then contact your local health
department.They will conduct free inspections of your home and will order your landlord to fix any violations of the
Housing Code.You can find contact information for your local health department by calling your.city or town hall or visiting
their website. City/town websites are listed at: mass.gov/lists/massachusetts-city-and-town-websites.
Your landlord is not allowed to raise your rent or try to evict you just because you have made a complaint to them or to
the local health department about the violations.This is called retaliation,and you may be able to sue the landlord for
damages if this happens and you made your complaint in writing(M.G.L. c.186,s.18 and c.239,s.2A).
Your Right to a Hearing
You may ask for a hearing in front of your local Board of Health.You must do this in writing and within the fimeframes
below. If you send a written request on time to the local health department, a hearing will be held within 14 calendar days.
If you do not make a written request within the timeframes below,you lose the right to a hearing.The chart below shows
the reasons you may request a hearing, and the timeframe you have to send the request.
Reason You May Request a Hearin Number of Days to Make the Request in Writing
Your home was not inspected by the local health department 30 days from the day you contacted health department
The inspector did not find violations you think exist 30 days from the last inspection by the health.department
The inspector did not issue an order to correct violations 30 days from the last inspection by the health department
The inspector did not enforce the order to correct 45 days from when the owner received the order to correct
Within five days after the hearing, the local health department is required to issue a final decision on your complaint(105
CMR 410.840). If you do not agree with the decision, or at any point throughout the process,you can file an appeal in
housing court.
1 Depending on your city or town,this may also be called a Local Board of Health(BOH),Local Health Authority,or Inspectional Services Department.
This is the local code enforcement authority responsible for enforcing the regulations.

Hello, I have lived at 69 Howard Street extension for the past 2 years. This is a property of SoFi Salem Station,
part of the townhouses. During our residency we've had a list of issues I would like to share. Most recently,
we've had substantial leaks both upstairs and downstairs to which they just repair and paint over, instead of
fixing the root of the problem. We are moving out on 8/31, and im afraid for the tenants coming in after us
moving in on 9/1. There is no possible way they'll be able to fix this issue with less than 24 hours. Over the
two years and dozens of substantial issues we've had (including an entire winter with zero zero heat which I
believe is illegal), they hage been through a minimum, of 6 management changes and will never let us speak
to a regional manager to rectify the actual issues, it took us over a year to get the HVAC replaced and that is
because we withheld rent and threatened to call the board of health. The woman in charge now has no desire
to listen to resident issues and has been extremely rude, I am fearful for the next tenants and would like this
townhouse to be inspected to ensure there is no unhealthy living for them. There was black mold growing
upstairs and it was painted over. I have video and photos and email documentation of everything. Also, I
would like to add that I'm pregnant and fear for my health living here.
