RE: Fire Damage of 2/20/12
Mr.Kerr.
Please note change of date This letter was written November 5 not October 5th as the previous copy
indicated and was a typo done by me.
My letter of February 21,2012,removed the permanent Occupancy Permit for your building. At the same
time I issued a Temporary Occupancy Permit to allow the Body shop area to operate and I limited that to day
light hours only. A further Structural assessment was done by Strucures North on your behalf which confirmed
structural damage to the front portion of the building. It has been about eight months since the fire. To date no
repairs have begun. The body shop area is still without required bathrooms and are still operating the office
from a temp. trailer..
Due to the concerns about structural conditions, this situation cannot continue into the winter months.
Therefore all occupancy in the building is revoked as of November 30, 2012. You are further directed to
replace the plywood that secured the openings in your building. If you feel you are aggrieved by this order, your
appeal is to the Board of Buildings,Regulations and Standards in Boston.

Re:Letter that was sent on 1125/2012
Dear Thomas St Pierre,
I am writing this letter in response to the letter that I received that was dated on 112512012,t am concerned with the
Issues at hand.The issues include the life safety equipment,the egress hardware,corridors and stairways and the change
of archltect.
The building has always passed fire inspection since we purchased the building.The life safety equipment,egress,
hallways and corridors are the some as it was when we purchased the building.All of the electrical boxes and mechanical
equipment now have 36 Inches or greater of space around them.As far as the separation between tenants remains exactly
the same and we have not added any new tenants so t am under the assumption that we do not need to take any further
action on this matter.
We have no intention of doing an architectural plan as we do not need It given that we have not changed the
structure or egress anywhere in the building,Since the structure.egress,separation of tenants or lighting have not changed
since the last fire Inspection,which the building has passed, I fool that these changes are unnecessary.I believe that since
we did not require lit exit signs and strobe lights ever before that these would not be required at this point Sinco we never
had egress hardware I have been under the assumption that we are grandfathered in did not require this equipment.If you
should have any further questions please feel free to contact me at 978-835-3515.
Yours truly,kk I V `

be required to apply through the Salem Zoning Board of Appeals for approval a special permit for
their intended Use. As per the"Table of Principal And Use Accessory Use Regulation"in Section
3.0—Use Regulations, a Kennel use in an"I"zone requires Zoning Board of Appeals (BA)
approval.
Your client is put on notice that issuance of the Building Permit, does not remove the client's
requirement to ask for the Special Permit before the Board of Appeals, thus will be proceeding at
his own risk of not occupying the building with the current use intended.
Any questions please call my office.

RE: 63 Jefferson Street, Salem,Massachusetts
Mr. Popkin
Your application for a Building Permit for the renovation at the property located at 63 Jefferson
Avenue, Salem, Massachusetts has been denied.
As discussed during our phone call on December 18, 2012 the following items need to be
addressed prior to the issuance of a permit.
- Stamped Fire Suppression Plans need to be submitted with the Building plans at time of
application submittal.
- Fire Protection Plans that were submitted to Fire Prevention and the Building Department
were not produced with the oversight of a design Professional (as discussed during our phone
conversation, approval of your stamp and signature on the drawings was not authorized.)
- Code Review letter stating (with input from the Architectural Access Board)your office's
statement regarding handicapped Access to the second floor level.
- Submission of a Construction Control Document for the Structural Engineer for the structural
portion of the work.
- Understanding that elimination of the bathrooms from the existing tenant(Allied Collision)
would revoke the Occupancy permit from that tenant space, unless other facilities were
provided to that tenant.

RE: Fire Damage of 2120(12
Mr.Kerr.
My letter of February 21,2012,removed the permanent Occupancy Permit for your building. At the same
time I issued a Temporary Occupancy Permit to allow the Body shop area to operate and I limited that to day
light hours only. A further Structural assessment was done by Strucures North on your behalf which confirmed
structural damage to the front portion of the building. It has been about eight months since the fire.To date no
repairs have begun.The body shop area is still without required bathrooms and are still operating the office
from a temp. trailer..
Due to the concerns about structural conditions,this situation cannot continue into the winter months.
Therefore all occupancy in the building is revoked as of November 30, 2012. You are further directed to
replace the plywood that secured the openings in your building. If you feel you are aggrieved by this order, your
appeal is to the Board of Build ings,Regulations and Standards in Boston.

Attn: Hugh Kerr
Playful Paws Doggy Daycare
63 Jefferson Avenue
Salem, MA 01970
Reference: Post-fire Structural Conditions Assessment
Dear Hugh:
At your request we visited your commercial property located at 63 Jefferson Avenue in Salem,
Massachusetts. It is a two-story metal-framed commercial structure. The building is currently divided
into three units that include a attorney's office, an auto body shop and a dog daycare business. The fire
took place on the second floor in the office space located towards the front of the building. Following is
a general description of the building structure and a summary of our noted conditions and
recommendations. Recommendations are shown in italics following noted conditions. For the purposes
of this report the front of the building faces west.
General Description
The roof framing consists of cold-formed steel purlins that span east-west and that are supported on
structural steel frames that span north-south, with the exception of the front gable end wall. The front
gable.end wall is framed with cold-formed steel studs and channels. A second floor at the front of the
building was framed after the initial construction and occupies approximately one third of the building's
footprint. The second floor framing consists of a plywood subfloor on open-web steel joists spaced at
approximately 16" on-center, supported by wide flange structural steel beams and pipe columns.
Noted Conditions and Recommendations
The fire damaged portions of the building include portions of the roof framing, front gable end wall, and
metal roof decking. Fire fighting efforts also led to water and emergency access damage of doors and
windows, as well as to the plywood subfloor of the second floor.
The front(first) roof framing bay requires a minimum of seven purlins to be replaced or sistered, five
to the north side of the ridge, and two to the south.
Eight rafters require replacement or sintering in the second roof framing bay, where paper products
stored in an attic space caused the fire to damage the purlins in this area. Of the purlins that require
repair or replacement, three are located north of the ridge and five to the south.
Portions of the roofing material appeared to be damaged from the fire and will need to be replaced.
Please note that portions of the roof beyond the fire-damaged sections may need to be removed
and replaced for access, and this should be reviewed with the contractor performing the work.
The middle of the front gable end wall requires re-framing or reinforcement. The extent of the re-
framing extends from a single column to the right/south of the ridge (that does appears to be in
good condition), located approximately 9'-3"away from the ridge, to the column that is located
immediately to the left/north of the roof ridge. The latter does require partial-height replacement
from the second floor to the roof. Any severely warped members, such as the north column and
edge rafters, should be removed and replaced instead of sistered. Warped portions of the front wall
metal sheathing will also need to be replaced.
All sistering or replacement materials should be like-kind, including any clips/framing angle
connections and their components.
Fri
Playful Paws Doggy Daycare /63 Jefferson Avenue 28 February 2012
Salem, MA Structures North
None of the structural steel (frames) appeared to be damaged during the fire.
While these members appear to be un-damaged, a closer observation should be made following
the cleanup, and/or during the repairs noted above.
Several areas of flooring felt soft underfoot, suggesting damage to the subfloor. Plywood decking was
visible from the first floor, however it is unknown if the floors have a separate underlayment sheathing
between the plywood subfloor and the carpet pad.
Following a full cleanup including carpet removal, the full extent of subfloor damage will need to be
evaluated and any damaged sections removed and replaced in-kind.
Subfloor repair work should occur after the cleanup in order to ensure safe access, and cleanup efforts
will need to be performed in a manner that prevents hazards to persons at water damaged floor areas
(contractor to provide temporary decking as required, etc.). Roof structure repairs should immediately
follow subfloor repairs, with temporary weather protection used to prevent further water damage from
precipitation. During our site visit the auto body shop was in near-full operation as this section was
largely undamaged by the fire. There is only limited water damage to the front first floor offices, as well
as the second floor attorney's office. If office duties are able to be performed off-site, the main area of
the Playful Paws portion of the building may be occupied on a limited basis. In the unlikely event of a
severe late-winter storm, the front two bays of the building should be evacuated until permanent repairs
can be made.
Report limitations
This report is a summary of readily visible observations conducted during a single site visit to the
property. No finishes were removed to expose hidden structure, and no calculations have been
performed to determine if the overall building framing or foundations of the structure comply with past or
present building codes. This report is strictly limited to structural considerations noted. Egress, guard
rails, fire protection, building envelope (damaged windows that require repair/replacement) and other
building systems were not reviewed, and they are beyond the scope of this report.
If you have any questions regarding this report or require any follow up consultation, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
Respectfully Yours,

Dear Mr. Kerr,
11, response to your letter of Jan. 30,2012 ,please be aware of the following items. You constructed the
dog day care business without a building permit. An application had been dropped off by you and I
called you directly telling you that you could not pull a building permit as a building owner. The
perunit was never issued. As far as being"Grandfathered" as to life safety equipment, that would only
apply to the original building which had only one occupant. Once you changed the building to multiple
uses and occupants all "grandfathering"was left behind" Additionally, if a building inspector
considers an egress "tuisafe"this is the one item in the building code that is always able to called.out.
Fire Inspections by the engine companies are not to determine the legality of your building. They are
designed to familiarize the firefighters with the layout of your building and identify any flagrant fire
code violations.
I back fully the actions of my Assistant, Michael Lutrzykowski. . 1 would suggest you contact your
Architect to review the egress requirements and I will accept a written report in place of a drawing.

RE: 63 Jefferson Street—Baxter's Playful Paws
Mr. Kerr,
The ensuing communication shall serve as this office's follow-up to our January 17 2012,
106 - Periodic Renewal inspection. The purpose of the investigation was to identify any safety
concerns and code violations noted during the visit as required in accordance with the
Massachusetts Building Code 780 CMR.
The most concerning off these violations that were the non-existence of life safety equipment: lighted exit
signs, emergency lighting, horn strobes, and strobes in the lavatories etc. Furthermore; lack of code
compliant panic and/or lever egress hardware in exit stairways and corridors has been noted at the tenant
property. These violations must be corrected immediately.
This Department has no record of a required building permit for any of the work obvious on first
floor and second floor levels of the property that Baxter's Playful Paws occupies. You are
directed by this letter to file the appropriate applications for permit in our office at 120
Washington Street, 3rd Floor at the earliest possible time.
A Registered Massachusetts Architect's stamped drawing of each floor level noting life safety
equipment is additionally requested by this office so as to allow it to be apparent that all units
have the required egresses as per the Massachusetts State Building Code. Included with said
stamped drawings shall be notations calling out fire separations in walls and ceilings.

Therefore, under the authority of the Mass State building code 780 C.M.R, you are directed to address the
following: (Including items list prior)
1- Exit Stairways section 1020.1—"an exit shall not be used for any purpose that interferes with its
function as a means of egress"Exit stairways can have no chairs, desks, boxes, etc. or used for
storage of objects at any time as was the situation and noted at the time of inspection.
2- Corridors section 1018- Corridors leading to exits are also not to be used for any purpose that
interfere with the path of egress. Also, Combustible materials, maintenance materials cannot
be stored in the hallways.
3- 36" inches shall be maintained around all mechanical and electrical equipment.
4- Mechanical and utility rooms shall not be used for storage for any purpose.
You are hereby ordered to begin to rectify these conditions within 7 days of receipt of this notice.
Failure to do so may result in further actions being brought against you, up to and including the
filing of criminal complaints at District Court.
You have the right to appeal this order to the State Board of Building Regulations at One

Dear Thomas St,Pierre,
I am writing this letter in response to the letter that I received that was dated on 125/2012. 1 am conco ned with the
Issues at hand.The issues Include the life safety equipment,the egress hardware,corridors and stairways and the change
of architect
The building has always passed fire inspection since we purchased the building.The life safety equipment,egress,
hallways and corridors are the same as it was when we purchased the building.All of the electrical boxes and mechanical
equipment now have 36 Inches or greater of space around them.As far as the separation between tenants remalns exactly
the some and we have not added any new tenants so I am under the assumption that we do not need to take any further
action on this matter.
We have no Intention of doing an architectural plan as we do not need it given that we have not changed the
structure or egress anywhere in the building.Since the structure,gess,separation of tenants or lighting have itot changed
since the last fire inspection,which the building has passed, I feel that these changes are unnecessary.I believe that since
we did not require lit exit signs and strobe lights ever before that these would not be required at this point.Sinco we never
had egress hardware I have been under the assumption that we are grandfathered in did not require this equipment.If you
should have any further questions please feel free to contact me at 078-835-3515.

RE: 63 Jefferson Avenue
Dear Mr. Kerr:
This Department received and investigated a complaint at 63 Jefferson Avenue.
When I arrived, a spray booth was being completed in one of the bays of your building.
There were no mechanical, electrical or architectural plans on record.
It was also apparent, that other businesses are also operating from your building.
The Massachusetts State Building Code 780 CMR, Article 3 requires separation of
different use groups within a building. The separation must be fire rated assemblies as
described by the code.
Per State Building Code 780 CMR, Section 115 an inspection is required of the entire
building. This inspection is scheduled for Tuesday, September 21, 2904 at 10:00 a.m.
Inspectors from all Departments will be present. It would be advantageous for you to
have your Architect present for the inspection. This would help your Architect draw up
plans to bring your building up to code.
If you have any questions, please contact me directly.

parking requirements and a Variance to fence height for the property located at 63

ane Variances which have been requested may be granted upon a finding by this Board
that:
1..Special conditions and circumstances exist which especially affect the land, building or
structures involved and which are not generally affecting other lands, buildings and
structures involve.
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would involve
substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the petitioners.
Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and
without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent of the district of the
purpose of the Ordinance.
The Board of Appeal, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the
`;earing, and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact:
1. Petitioner seeks to relocate his woodworking and custom carpentry business to 63
Jefferson Avenue, where he can construct a new facility large enough to
accommodate the needs of his operation. Petitioner, who was represented by
Joseph C. Correnti, Esq., owns the 63 Jefferson property through the R.T.D.
Nominee Realty Trust.
_. The proposed building plan required variances from the dimensional requirements of
the ordinance: a side setback at 13'6", a rear yard setback at approximately 90'
(precise dimensions of the rear setback to be determined according to the plans
submitted to and approved by the Building Inspector, which are viewed by the Board
of Appeal in a reduced format) a variance to allow placement of a building overhang
10' into RC zone.

DECISION OF THE PETITION OF KERR LEATHE_R_COMPANY_REQUESTING A
VARIANCE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT'63 JEFFERSON AVENUE (I/RC)
A hearing on this petition was held December 17, 1997 with the following
Board members present: Gary Barrett, Chairman; Nina Cohen, Albert Hili,
Richard Dionne and Paul Valaskagis. 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.
Petitioner requests a Variance from use regulation;minimum lot area, lot
width, depth front yard,depth rear yard and maximum lot coverage for the
property located at 63 Jefferson Avenue.
The Variance which has been requested may be granted upon a finding of this
Board that:
1. Special conditions and circumstances exist which especially affect the
land, building or structure involved and which are not generally affecting
other land, buildings, or structures in the same district.
2 . Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would
involve substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the petitioner.
3. Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the
public good and without nullifying or substantially derogation from the
intent of the district or the purpose of the Ordinance.
The Board of Appeal, after careful considerations the evidence presented at
the hearing, makes the following findings of fact:
1 . Petitioner, a prospective buyer of the property, seeks variances from
use requirements to allow the existing leather wholesaling business to
continue to operate in the R-C zone.
2. Additionally, petitioner hopes to obtain permission from the Planning
Board to subdivide the lot at 63 Jefferson Avenue. Accordingly,
petitioner seeks variances from lot area, lot width, lot coverage and
front, side and rear yard setbacks for that part of the property on
which the leather business will operate, and variances from lot area
and lot width for the newly created part.
3. Opposition to the proposed petition was voiced by Dennis Baker, a
commercial real estate broker, representing Aaron Glickman, of Titus
Furniture. Mr. Baker objected to the creation of a strangely shaped lot
on the abutting property.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented
at the hearings, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . Special conditions exist which especially affect the subject property
and not the district in general.
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would
involve substation hardship to the petitioner.

RE: Tenant Luciano Coronell
Please be advised this Department was called to your building due to a complaint
regarding one of your tenants- W. Coronell. Mr. Corenell, or one of this employees,
dumped their trash illegally in another business dumpster.
This Department was notified that building code problems existed by the responding
officer.
The repair shop, set up by Mr. Coronelll, violates numerous building codes and had none
of the necessary permits needed to run a garage.
Per State Building Code, 780 CMR,the portion of your building occupied by W.
Coronell is considered an unsafe structure; State Building Code 780 CMR, Section 118
thru 121.
Please be advised that any continued use of this space will result in a complaint being
filed in Salem District Court and municipal code violations tickets being issued.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely, �,(
