Dear Mr.Jacobson,
As the City has not received a response from your Attorney, Andrew J. Tine, after two different letters,July 23
and August 13, 2018 ,requesting proof of the above referenced property as a sober home eligible for an
exemption from certain zoning requirements, I have no choice but to cite you for a zoning violation.The
number of unrelated persons occupying the property( 13 or 14)exceeds the number allowed by rite(3 per unit
or 6 total) in the R-2 Zoning District..
Further,the operation of a rooming ,boarding or lodging house requires a Special Permit from the Board of
Appeals.
You are directed to cease using the property as a rooming house per Table#3 of The Salem Zoning Ordinance-
Allowed uses. .
Enclosed,find a City Ordinance violation.
You have the right to Appeal my Zoning interpretation to the Salem Zoning Board of Appeals.
If you have any questions ,please contact me directly.
Since L
