Dear Ms. Payne:
After conducting an inspection of your apartment and the water damage
in the common areas of the building I met with the owner of the building,
Mr. Richard Shribman at his office. He assured me that a contract had
already been issued to Mark Petit Roofing Co. to install a complete new
roof. I also mentioned to him that he could possibly be having problems
with his roof draining system. I advised him as to what I thought was the
best way to take care of this situation, he thanked me for the suggestion
and said he would look into doing that work.

Hello Amy,
Hope that you and your family are well.
As the weather gets warmer, I wanted to address the Dumpster issue that you and I've talked
about in the past. Are you still serving on the condo association board? If not could you either
pass this along to the appropriate party or let me know the contact person.
My main Dumpster complaints are as follows:
1. Location
2. Not covered at all times as required by ordinance thus....
Pools of standing water collect and mix with trash etc.
Flies and mice are a problem
Trash blows into my yard
For easy reference, I've attached the Salem city ordinance relative to Dumpsters and highlighted
key items related to my complaints.
I would appreciate the association's attention to the issues raised here and finally fixing the
problem.
Thanks.
