Gagnon relative to his property at 6 and°8 Glendale Street in Salem. This matter had been referred to your department as your Code has more stringent requirements relative to emergency lighting. Will you kindly take whatever action you deem necessary in this matter. Mr. Gagnon has been summoned to appear in Salem District Court on Friday, October 2, 1987. Very truly yours, FOR THE BOARD OF HEALTH ROBERT E. BLENKHORN, C.H.O. Health Agent REB/g cc: H. Gagnon City Solicitor Z:/Vu Henry T. Gagnon 16 Lockwood Lane Topsfield, MA 01983 September 21 , 1987 Mr Robert Blenkhorn D Salem Health Department 9 North Street fSEP 2 2 1987 Salem, Mass. CITY OF SALEM Dear Mr Blenkhorn; HEALTH DEPT. We have finally received from your department after waiting for five months correspondence regarding the com- plaint issued for 6 and 8 Glendale Street, Salem. We had repeatedly asked verbally and in written for your department to show which code, law, rule, regulation or whatever required emergency lighting to be installed in an existing four family dwelling. The correspondence received indicates that emergency lighting is required in "multiple dwelling of ten or more units" and not four. The emergency lighting issue falls under the juri,diction of the building department and not the Health Department. The building department in Salem uses the State Building Code as their bible and do not have specific codes of their own. The State Code exempts exi..sting building therefore emergency lighting is not required. We have taken our research a step further. The Public Safety Department of the Commonwealth of Mass. was contacted. Mr Peter Goodele of that department emphatically indicated that emer- gency lighting was not required on existing four family houses. Your department use of coercion and intimidation rather then cooperation is very disturbing. The attitude toward landlords in your department does not promote very good relationships with property owners. Your agents did not want to hear other items cited were also not violations. The answer is fix what- ever or will bring you to court. For example no research by your department was done prior to citation for water heaters. No one look to see that they Henry T Gagnon 16 Lockwood Lane Topsfield, MA 01983 were not individual units but were high output gas fired and tied in tandem. This system can produce over 90 gals. per hour and have an 80 gals. reserve. Firing rate on that system is seventy thousand B.T.U. per hour. The low water pressure cited was not even in the building. The problem was that the city of Salem was not providing adequate water pressure . After spending almost $900. to prove that what we told the tenant and Board of Health that it was a city problem the water department finally agreed and replaced their very old pipes in the street. I sincerely hope that in any future dealings with building r owners your department will show more cooperation and in general help owners rather then the current intimidation. Looking forward to a more co-operative existance. Yours ruly, He ry T. a/non y �.COMM4 Ix 11L 0i .. . .

Notice of the hearing was sent to abutters and others and notices of the hearing were properly published in the Salem Evening News in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A. Petitioners,owners of the property, are requesting a Special Permit to allow construction of a deck which will extend nonconforming rear setbacks, the property is located in the R-1 district. The provision of the Salem Zoning Ordinance which is applicable to this request for a Special Permit is Section 5-3(j ) , which provides as follows: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing in this Ordinance, the Board of Appeal may, in accordance with the procedure and conditions set forth in Section 8-6 and 9-4, grant Special Permits for alterations and reconstruction of nonconforming structures, and for changes, enlargement, extension or expansion of nonconforming lots, land, structures, and uses, provided, however, that such change, extension, enlargement or expansion shall not be substantially more detrimental than the existing nonconforming use to the neighborhood. In more general terms, this Board is, when reviewing Special Permit requests, guided by the rule that a Special Permit request may be granted upon a finding by the Board that the grant of the Special Permit will promote the public health, safety, convenience and welfare of the City's inhabitants. The Board of Appeal, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the hearing, and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact: 1. There was no opposition to the petitioners request. 2. The granting of the special permit would allow the petitioners a fuller use of their property. 3. This is the most feasible location for the deck to be located. 4. According to the plans submitted the deck will be constructed a a height of two (2) feet from ground level.

(State Building Code Section 144.1 .1 ) DEFINITION OF HOMEOWNER: Person(s) who owns a parcel of land on which he/she resides or intends to re- side, on which there is, or is intended to be, a one to six family dwelling, attached or detached structures accessory to such use and/or farm structures.

HOMEOWNER'S SIGNATURE APPROVAL OF BUILDING OFFICIAL NOTE: Three family dwellings 35,000 cubic feet. or larger, will be required to comply with State Building Code Section 127.0. Construction Control . HOME OWNER'S EXEMPTION The Code states that: "Any Home Owner performing work for which a building permit is required shall be exempt from the provisions of this section (Section 109.1 .1 - Licensing of Construction Supervisors) ; provided that is — a Home Owner engages a person(s) for hire to do such work, that such Home Owner shall act as supervisor." Many Home Owners who use this exemption are unaware that they are assuming the responsibilities of a supervisor (see Appendix Q, Rules and Regulations-:� h for Licensing Construction Supervisors, Section 2. 15). This lack of aware-114 "S ness often results in serious problems, particularly when the Home Owner hires unlicensed persons. In this case your Board cannot proceed against the unlicensed person as it would with licensed Supervisor. The Home Owner ` acting as supervisor is ultimately responsible. To ensure that the Home Owner is fully aware of his/her responsibilities, many communities require, as part of the permit application, that the Home Owner certify that he/she understands the responsibilities of a supervisor. On the last page of this issue is a form currently used by several towns. You may care to amend and adopt such a form/certification for use in your community. �'O-T Is SH� dN I 30 v pl bib Orb t Nlf Qly� 9 .
