RE: 6 Lawrence Street, Salem, MA 01970 ZtP �
r r r r r r r•r .___ -
Dear Mr. Caron:
Based upon a complaint of no heat or power on the first floor at your home at 6 Lawrence Street in Salem,
an inspection was conducted on December 16, 2025.
The following conditions were noted at the time of the inspection:
• There is no electricity throughout the entire first floor apartment.
• The heat is not working and temperatures throughout the unit were approximately 40 degrees F.
• There was no hot water available.
• There were no working smoke alarms observed in the unit.
Based upon my observations the Salem Board of Health deems this dwelling unsafe and unfit for
human habitation. Based upon these findings and in accordance with 105 CMR 410.831, the Board
of Health determines that the danger to the life or health of the occupants is so immediate,
condemnation is ordered immediately and the hearing requirements of 105CMR 410.831 B and C are
waived. All occupants of the residence are ordered to vacate the unit immediately. If any person
refuses to leave the dwelling they may be forcibly removed by the Board of Health or by local
police authorities on the request of the Board of Health.
If, one year after the issuance of an order to secure, compliance with the minimum standards set forth in
105 CMR410.000 has not been affected, then the Board of Health may cause the dwelling to be
demolished. Any costs borne by the Board of Health are a debt to the City and shall be recoverable from
the owner in an action of contract.
No dwelling or portion thereof, which has been condemned and placarded as unfit for human habitation,
shall again be used for human habitation until written approval is secured from, and the Board of Health
removes such placard. No person shall deface or remove the placard, except the Board of Health shall
remove it whenever the defect or defects upon which the condemnation and placarding action was based
have been eliminated.
Should you be aggrieved by this Order, you have the right to request a hearing before the Board of Health.
A request for such a hearing must be received in writing in this office of the Board of Health within seven
(7) days of receipt of this Order. 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present witness and documentary evidence as to why this Order should be modified or withdrawn.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. Please also be informed that 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 this Board, and that any adverse party has the right to be present at the hearing.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Gagakis
Senior Sanitarian
