M.G.L. Chapter 111, sections 122-127B
Dear Ms. Geary:
An inspection of your property at 331 Jeferson Avenue in Salem was conducted
by Jeffery Barosy, Sanitarian for the Board of Health on December 9, 2025,
pursuant to General Laws Chapter 111, Sections 122-127B. The following
observations were made:
Numerous piles of trash and debris all over the ground on this property. Loose
trash and debris litter the property, and there are old furniture, televisions, and
miscellaneous debris scattered about the property. These conditions are
creating a harborage for mice, rats, and other neighborhood pests.
Therefore, a public health nuisance exists at your property and must be
abated. You are hereby ordered to:
1. Clear overgrown vegetation. All overgrown vegetation must be trimmed
or removed to eliminate hiding places and breeding grounds for pests and
rodents.
2. Take Rodent Control Measures: Professional pest control services must
be engaged to address and eradicate the rodent infestation and removal
of any rodent attractants.
3. Remove all Trash and Debris: All trash, debris, and waste materials
must be collected and properly disposed of. The property should be kept
clean and free of litter to prevent future health hazards.
YOU MUST ACT NOW. You must complete all corrective actions within ten
days of receipt of this order.
Failure to comply within ten days may result in the City taking the
corrective actions by hiring contractors to correct the violations and
impose a lien on your property to recover the costs of such action. It may
also result in other legal action being taken against you including criminal
prosecution.
NOTICE: You have the right to request a hearing before the Salem Board of
Health to contest this Order. Your request must be in writing and received by the
Board within five days of receiving this order. Deliver your request to David
Greenbaum, Agent, Salem Board of Health, 96 Washington Street, 3rd FI., Salem
City Hall Annex, Salem, MA 01970. At said hearing, you will be given the
opportunity to be heard and to present witness and documentary evidence as to
why this Order should be modified or withdrawn. You may be represented by an
attorney. You have the right to inspect and obtain copies of all relevant inspection
or investigation reports, orders, and other documentary information in the
possession of the Board of Health and that any adverse party has the right to be
present at the hearing.
