Gauthier. Thank you for assistance. Sincerely, Dolores Tierney enclosure r r r Dolores Tierney 5 Locney Avenue Salem, MA. 01970-1909 February 17, 1992 Mrs. Mary E. Gauthier 14 Nichols Street, Apt 2 Salem, MA 01970 Secondary to your complaints, and an order dated February 13, 1992 from Assistant Building Inspector, David J Harris, to correct the 2nd Floor front door at 14 Nichols Street. This letter is to make note you refused entry to your apartment on the morning of February 17, 1992 of my husband, Paul J. Tierney, and Michael Shapiro of D & H Construction, a licensed contractor. The purpose of the visit was for the contractor to inspect the premises as a preliminary to comply with the order. Remember, you were notified by phone 5:30 PM, Saturday, February 15, 1992 of the pending visit. You did not object then. However you did on the 17th. You excuse for the refusal, Monday is a holiday, therefore no contractor could inspect the doorway. My husband explained they were there to comply with a City order, that your refusal constituted an obstruction of a City oiler. Your response was if we ( my husband and I ) do not comply, the City will take us to court. After your negotiating through the door with my husband it is my understanding that you will allow the contractor to inspect the doorway Tuesday, February 18. Make it happen. I appreciate your concerns regarding lead paint in this renovation. I have been contacted by Sharon Cameron, Senior Inspector, for State Department of Public Health in her letter dated January 29, 1992. She states: "it appears that the intention of the proposed renovation is to meet building code requirements of a second egress and not to achieve compliance with the Lead Law. In such a case, the work can be done by a person who can fulfill the requirements of 454 CMR 22.11 but does riot need to be a licensed deleader." My husband offered to show you this letter. You refused to open your door to read it. Note: I an making a full and reasonable conmitment to safeguard you and your family within the dictates of the law. It is unfortunate I have to deal with you in this manner to elicit your cooperation. But, I have an order to comply. You must also realize the weight of this order includes you to cooperate fully with the city and I to achieve this errs. This means, when the contractor is ready to proceed with the renovation The City of Salem and I want your cooperation.
