Martineau Assistant Building Inspector One Salem Green Re 143 Loring Avenue Dear Mr. Martineau: Pleased be advised that this office represents Solarteere-e- em, Child Growing Center, Inc. owner of the above referenced property. Your letter of September 11, 1990 has been referred to me for response. The subject property is a two family residence. Each of the residents of the two apartments are lessees under a written lease. They therefore are not "lodgers" or "boarders" under the law of the Commonwealth. The Supreme Judicial Court has ruled that the distinguishing feature of a lodger is his lack of interest (either a leasehold or fee ownership inter- est) in the property he occupies. You may rest assured that the lessees will allow no lodgers or occupants other than the named lessees to stay at the premises. Legal issues aside, Patricia Jennings Welch, the director of the school that owns the property, recognizes the importance of maintaining good relations in the neighborhood. She has spoken with the tenants and has received assurances that the property will not be the source of disruption or imposition to the neighbors. Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated. Very mVophel yours/////A,q"� Chri M. Welch cc: Hon. Neil J. Harrington Kevin T. Daly, Esq. Councillor Mark E.

Dear Mrs. Welch: This office has received a written complaint regarding the alleged operation of a lodging house at the above referenced property, which is in a Residential two-family district.

It also appears there may be a violation of the Massachusetts General Laws, Sub Section 22 (Lodging houses) . Please contact this office within seven (7) days of receipt of this letter so we may work with you to resolve this matter. �ySincerely, %f �•tae Maurice M.

Pat Welch, owners o6 the Greenhouse Schoot, at 145 Loring Avenue, who ha-6 vented out the heeond btoor and attic o6 the attached buitding to at teast Give ( 5 ) eottege boys. (She woutdn 't tett my husband how many, but admitted to at teast Give. ) 1 have telephoned hex every day since they moved in, and she neven once answered my phone catts. I speak to hen 066ice Manager and Leave messages daity. We have Lived on Loring Avenue since we were married in May o6 1968 . In twenty-two years, the only serious eomptaint we had was when a home diagonatty across Brom us was going to be sotd as a Veterinary Ctinie. I in6o4med att neighbors within a one btock area, had Jack Nutting, and my cousin, Joe Centorino .speak at a meeting at aur home, and the potential owners withdrew theca o66e4. Now, a Samity resides these. Other smatter things were: getting used to the t4a66ie, the occasionat automobile accident, ort Loud kids watking by yetting, tacking on playing music earty in the morning. Needtess to hay, we neven reatized how tueky we had been. Since Tuesday, September 4 , however, we have onty been abte get three to Sour hours o6 .steep a night. We ane concerned that the property vatues witt go down ( even 6u4ther in today 's economy ) i6 peopte aren 't abte to sett on Hent thein homey with an "Animat House" in the vicinity, and thein tack o6 concern and abitity to act tike "adutts" . We own a unit down at Pickering Whar6 , and have had it vacant up to ive months, because we woutd not cent it to two adutt 6emate / mates roommates but hetd out Son singte peopte ort married couptes because we vatue the privacy and quiet that peopte are entitted to when having to Live in etose proximity to others. Ms. Weteh, however, seems to have no regard Son those o6 us who Live in hes business 's neighborhood. Our concerns tie in these questions: 1 . How many unretated peopte ane attowed to Live in one dwetting? 2 . What is the age that one is considered an "adutt" to .sign a tease? 3 . Since there ane cottege boys Living in the attic, shoutdn 't there be a Sine escape of a second exit in case o6 6ire? 4.

He mentioned that the owneA t.s suppose to noti6y the Board of Health when one tenant leaves and be6ote the unit is tent again . I would appAeciate it q you could check tl she 's done so .

Making three hoots of Salem State students . Between loud muse, can doors slamming , yelling and scaeaming , bAohen been bottles, cats honking when they pass by - it has been the most hontt.ble expe4ience we 've had to the twenty-two yeanh we 've lived in out home . The second Moot and attic ate all the same : the attic is connected to the second 6004 - just bednooms . To my Knowledge , there is no second exit bon Weattic to case o6 Lite . I Know there is a Boaodt.ng House Law to Salem wheneas no more than three unrelated adults can aesl.de in one unit. Needless to say, this has been gaosslyabu4ed. Also , the fail tenant had to pail' on the fawn on .the felt side of the iAont steps. cohere ane they going to park? There have been at least live additional cats loom that ntopenty .
