Re: 22-24 Leavitt Street, Salem
Dear Mr. Munroe :
Please be advised I have examined affidavits, voting
lists and utility records relative to the above entitled
real estate and it is my opinion that it was a lawful three-
family prior to adoption of the Zoning Ordinance on August
27 , 1965. In addition, the records of the Assessor' s Office
indicate it is currently assessed as a three-family.
Accordingly, it is my opinion it should be afforded the
protection of Section VIII (E. ) of the aforementioned ordinance
relative to nonconforming uses and, thus, it' s current use
as a three-family is permissible.
'p,
V truly yours
