RE: 36-38 Mason Street
To Whom it May Concern:
This office has received the annual complaint regarding the hedges located on your
property. These hedges obstruct the sidewalk and block visibility at the intersection of
Mason and Barstow Street , which is a violation of the Salem Zoning Ordinance Section
7-7.
Please trim these hedges within fifteen (15) days upon receipt of this letter. Failure to do
so will result in a complaint being filed against you in Salem District Court.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
