RE: 24 Howard Street
Dear Dorothy & Elizabeth :
On February 19 , 1997 , I inspected a fire damaged
structure at the above mentioned location .
Although there is major damage to the front of the
existing structure , I do not feel the structure is
structurally unsafe , and can be repaired .
As I informed you of the need not to let any work
begin in the structure without the contractor contacting
my office . The structure needs to have additional
supports installed before any cleaning or demolishing work
begins .
If this office can be of further assistance in this
matter, please do not hesitate to call .
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation
in this matter .
Sincerely,
Leo E . Tremblay
