Re:38 Harbor Street
Dear Owner,
Enclosed,please find your permit application for the above property. For a three family dwelling, you cannot
pull a building permit under the homeowner exemption. The Homeowner exemption is only for owner occupied
one and two family homes. You will need to hire a licensed Construction Supervisor to secure a Building
permit. If you have any questions,please contact me directly.

October 22, 2014
As a result of the inspection conducted by this office on Wednesday, October 15, 2014, it has been
determined that you have created and have tenants occupying one (1) - illegal 3`d floor dwelling at
38 Harbor Street. Currently you are permitted for two (2)—units in the building in a location zoned for
(R-3) dwellings, but the illegal third unit has only one egress out in violation of the Massachusetts State
Building code. This office has no records of permits for this construction and/or variance or special
permit approvals (SEE BELOW) for these third floor units. It appears you were granted permission by
the Salem Board of Appeals prior on January21,2004 to expand to a three family unit but did not file
for the required permits within the required time frame thus you lost your right to go forth with the
project.
As discussed with you over the phone on the same date of my inspection you are hereby
ordered to secure permits for its removal or legal inclusion with the second floor
apartment unit within five(5) day of receiving this notice. You are hereby ordered to
immediately contact this office upon receipt of this notice; failure to respond to this
notification will be construed as non- compliance, with issuance of Municipal rickets and
including the filing of criminal complaints at District Court.
If you feel aggrieved by the Building Codes issues you have the right to appeal this order
to the State Board of Building Regulations at One Ashburton Place, Boston, Ma. If you
feel you are aggrieved by the Zoning decision of this order, your Appeal is to the Salem
Zoning Board of Appeals.

C. Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good

hearing the Zoning Board of Appeal concluded as follows:
1. Special conditions do exist which especially affect the subject property but not the
district in general.

The Board of Appeal, after careful consideration of the evidence presented, and after
reviewing the plans makes the following findings of fact:
1. The Petitioner Jacob Akers appeared and represented himself at the hearing.
2. A petition was submitted with 20 names in favor of this petition.
3. Mr. Akers would like to expand his 2 family unit to a 3 family. Petitioner also
seeks Variance from the parking requirements.
4. There was no opposition.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented at the
hearings the Zoning Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1. Special conditions exist which especially affect the subject property but not the
district in general.
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Ordinance would involve substantial
hardship on the petitioner.
3. The relief requested can be granted without substantial detriment to the public good
and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent of the district or
the purpose of the ordinance
4. The Special Permit granted can be granted in harmony with the neighborhood and
will promote the public health, safety, convenience and welfare of the city's
inhabitants.
Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted unanimously, 5-0, to grant the relief
requested, subject to the following conditions;
1. Petitioner shall comply with all city and state statutes, ordinances, codes and
regulations.
2. All construction shall be done as per the plans and dimensions submitted and
approved by the Building Inspector.
3. All requirements of the Salem Fire Department relative to smoke and fire
safety shall be strictly adhered to.
4. Petitioner shall obtain a building permit prior to beginning any construction.
5. Exterior finishes of the new construction shall be in harmony with the existing
Structure.
6. Petition shall obtain a Certificate of Occupancy shall be obtained.
