The Ialv sometimes allows you to use your rent money to make the repairs yourself. if your local code enfoiccralcm agency certifies that there are code violations which endanger or materially impair your health,safety or well-being and your landlord has received written notice of the violations,you may be able to use this remedy. If the owner fails to begin necessary repairs(or to enter into a written contract to have them made)within five days afternotice or to complete repairs within 14 days after notice you can use up to four months' rent in any year to make the repairs. 3. Retaliatory Rent Increases or Eviction%Prohibited(General Laws Chapter 186,Section 18 and Chapter 239 Section 2A). The owner may not increase your tint or evict you in retaliation for making a complaint to your local code enforcement agency about code violations. If the owner raiscs.yqur rent or tries to evict within six months after you have made the complaint he or she will have to show a good reason for the increase or eviction which is unrelated to your complaint. You may be able to sue the landlord for damages if he or she tries this. 4. Rent Receivership(General Laws Chapter III Sections 127C-H). The occupants and/or the board of licalth may petition the District or Superior Court to allow rent to be paid into court rather than to the owner.The court may then appoint a "receiver"who may spend as much of the rent money as is needed to correct the violation. The re- ceiver is not subject to a spending limitation of four months'tent. 5. Breach of Warranty of Habitability. You may be entitled to sue your landlord to have all or some of your rent returned if your dwelling unit does not meet minimum stand- ards of hatitability. 6. Unfair and Deceptive Practices(General Laws Chapter 93A). Renting an apartment with code violations is a violation of the consumer protection act and fev guiations lor which you may sue an owner.

My mother, Mrs. Emilda M. Cote, continued to reside at 12 Messervy Street, until her death in 1982. During the entire time of my residence at 12 Messervy Street, Salem, and thereafter until my mother's death, the property was occupied for living purposes by three separate families. There are three separate gas and electric meters at 12 Messervy Street, and have been for as long as I can remember. My mother and my father were the owners of 12 Messervy Street from 1928 until their deaths. The adjacent property at 10 Messervy Street has also always been a three family house.

Powers Building Inspector 5 Broad Street Salem, Massachusetts 01970 Dear Mr. Powers: On this date, March 25, 1975, I inspected the property located at 17 Messervy Street, Salem, Mass. This structure is a three-story wood frame dwelling occupied by three families. The westerly foundation wall and a section of the northern foundation wall near the bulkhead. are in a seriously weakened condition. This condition is a result of erosion and other debilitating effects caused by improper drainage of rain water. The walls in question are distorted to a dangerous degree and weakened so as to make total collapse inevitable, unless remedial action is taken immediately. May opinion is that the walls in question must be replaced where necessary and reinforced in other sections. This work should be done with dispatch to safeguard the lives of the occupants. ery truly yours, James F. Brennan, Chief Salem Fire Department JFB:rq cc
