Dear Mr . Dennedy:
This office has again received a complaint from your

placement of your shed . I previously wrote you a letter
concerning said shed and apparently you choose not to
legalize said shed .
If this shed is not moved from property lines
according to the Salem Zoning Ordinances , and the proper
permit taken out within ten ( 10 ) days , this office will
file legal papers with the Salem District Court .
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation in this

Salem MA, 01970
August 26, 1996
Dear Mr. Tremblay;
I have received your letter of 08/21 /96 pertaining to the storage
shed at Mr. Michael Dennedy' s property.
I am fully aware of when the. city of Salem adopted it 's zoning
ordinance and the Mass. state building code. To repeat what I wrote
to Mr. Dennedy "the shed would be in full compliance witl, �4e policies
of the city of Salem", albeit those policies may have unofficial at
the time. If you have problems with that statement then you should
take whatever action you think is necessary. This small shed is not
fastened to the ground, I am sure it can be moved, which should
eliminate the problem.
I know that you do not make the rules and regulations that you
enforce. The interpretation is yours just as it was mine at the time
the shed was placed on Mr. Dennedy 's property. I take umbrage with
your statement that "I do not believe you had the legal right to
permit the shed", that is something that would have to be determined
by a court of law, not by you.
I presume that you enforce all of the rules and regulations
unilaterally in an impartial and unbiased manner. For example do
you require a variance to be issued for fences, flagpoles, radio
antenna masts, retaining walls which are customarily placed in front,
side and rear yards? These are all defined as structures in Article 2
of the building code.
Mr. Tremblay I have no wish to become your adversary. I have
probably spoken to half of the building inspectors in this state and
many of them disagree with each other regarding the interpretation of
various sections of the code.
As you have probably ascertained by now, you have a job where-in
you are often damned if you do and damned if you don't. Dowhatyou
think is right in this case. Good luck and best wishes.

Re! 8 ' by8 ' Storage Shed
Dear Mr . Dennedy;
In 1981 I was the chief Inspector of ruildings for th( City
of Salem and you were one of my Assistant Local Inspectcrs. I
remember very clearly the referenced storage shed tha+- you
built in your back yard, it was the policy of the city at that
time to allow for the construction of such sheds (under 100
Square Feet in area ) without the benefit of a building permJt.
You will probably remember that I told . you to find —it if
your neighbors had any objections to your placing the shed three
feet from the property lines. When it was ascertained thFt the
neighbors had no objection I told you to proceed with the shed
construction and that you would be in full- compliance with the
policies of the city of Salem at the time.
Thete must be hundreds of similar stor ge sheds in the city.
To require a permit at this late date wouII seem to be cn� trary
to the policies of the city in 1981 , To r, luire Zoning Boe rd of
Appeals permission for such sheds that have been there for ! uch a
long period of time would place an unnece-,sary burden upcn the
Board.
I trust this letter will clarify the situation yoi are
facing with the current building inspector.
Very truly yours;

RE : Michael Dennedy
4 Orlean Avenue
Salem, Mass . 01970
Dear Mr. McIntosh:
The City of Salem adopted the State of Massachusetts
Building Codes in the 1970 ' s . The City of Salem also
adopted and made major changes to the City of Salem Zoning
Ordinances in 1965 . Both of these buildings and zoning
codes were in effect while you were the Chief Building
Inspector for the City of Salem, and these are still the
building codes and zoning ordinance that exist today that
the City of Salem is requesting the Building Department to
enforce today, such as the City of Salem was asking you to
enforce in 1981. I find no amendment in the Zoning
Ordinance, or do I find an amendment in the State Building
Code per City of Salem Council to change the status of
storage sheds .
Having a neighbor given his consent to infringe on a
setback, does not give the Chief Building Inspector the
right to approve an illegal location .
As for the number of illegal sheds in the City of
Salem the numbers are in the hundreds I 'm sure, but this
would have not been the case if the Chief Building
Inspector in the 1980 to 1985 would have been enforcing
the City of Salem adopted codes and ordinances .
The point of requiring Board of Appeals approval for
a Variance and or Special Permit to infringe on setbacks
a Massachusetts General Law Chapter 40A that is strictly
enforced by the Building Department .
Mr. McIntosh, I do not make the rules and
regulations , I am here to enforce said rules and
regulations to the best of my ability, and to the
satisfaction of the Mayor and the city citizens . I do not
believe you had the legal right to not issue permits for
sheds or to allow some sheds to infringe on lot setbacks .
I thank you for your interest in this matter, but
still due feel that Mr . Dennedy must file for a permit for
his shed and place said shed the required five ( 51 ) feet
from the lot lines per Section 7-8 Article three ( 3 ) of
the City of Salem Zoning Codes which have been in effect
since August 27 , 1965 , per the request of his abutting
neighbor .
If this office can be of any further assistance in
this or any other matter,please do not hesitate to call .
Sincerely,
Leo E . Tremblay

Salem MA, 01970
August 26, 1996
Dear Mr. Tremblay;
I have received your letter of 08/21 /96 pertaining to the storage
shed at Mr. Michael Dennedy' s property.
I am fully aware of when the city of Salem adopted it's zoning
ordinance and the Mass. state building code. To repeat what I wrote
to Mr. Dennedy "the shed would be in full compliance with 14e policies
of the city of Salem", albeit those policies may have unofficial at
the time. If you have problems with that statement then you should
take whatever action you think is necessary. This small shed is not
fastened to the ground, I am sure it can be moved, which should
eliminate the problem.
I know -that you do not make the rules and regulations that you
enforce. The interpretation is yours just as it was mine at the time
the shed was placed on Mr. Dennedy' s property. I take umbrage with
your statement that "I do not believe you had the legal right to
permit the shed", that is something that would have to be determined
by a court of law, not by you.
I presume that you enforce all of the rules and regulations
unilaterally in an impartial and unbiased manner. For example do
you require a variance to be issued for fences, flagpoles, radio
antenna masts, retaining walls which are customarily placed in front,
side and rear yards? These are all defined as structures in Article 2
of the building code.
Mr. Tremblay I have no wish to become your adversary. I have
probably spoken to half of the building inspectors in this state and
many of them disagree with each other regarding the interpretation of
various sections of the code.
As you have probably ascertained by now, you have a job where-in
you are often damned if you do and damned if you don't. Dowhatyou
think is right in this case. Good luck and best wishes.

RE: Michael Dennedy

Salem, Mass . 01970
Dear Mr. McIntosh:
The City of Salem adopted the State of Massachusetts
Building Codes in the 1970 ' s . The City of Salem also
adopted and made major changes to the City of Salem Zoning
Ordinances in 1965 . Both of these buildings and zoning
codes were in effect while you were the Chief Building
Inspector for the City of Salem, and these are still the
building codes and zoning ordinance that exist today that
the City of Salem is requesting the Building Department to
enforce today, such as the City of Salem was asking you to
enforce in 1981 . I find no amendment in the Zoning
Ordinance, or do I find an amendment in the State Building
Code per City of Salem Council to change the status of
storage sheds .
Having a neighbor given his consent to infringe on a
setback, does not give the Chief Building Inspector the
right to approve an illegal location .
As for the number of legal sheds in the City of Salem
the numbers are in the hundreds I 'm sure, but this would
have not been the case if the Chief Building Inspector in
the 1980 to 1985 would have been enforcing the City of
Salem adopted codes and ordinances .
The point of requiring Board of Appeals approval for
a Variance and or Special Permit to infringe on setbacks
a Massachusetts General Law Chapter 40A that is strictly
enforced by the Building Department .
Mr. :1cIntosh, I do not make the rules and
regulations , I am here to enforce said rules and
regulaticos to the best of my ability, and to the
satisfaction of the Mayor and the city citizens . I do not
believe y.trou had the legal right to not issue permits for
sheds or zo allow some sheds to infringe on lot setbacks .
1 tbank you for your interest in this matter, but
still due feel that Mr. Dennedy must file for a permit for
his shed end place said shed the required five ( 51 ) feet
from the lot lines per Section 7-8 Article three ( 3 ) of
the Cityof Salem Zoning Codes which have been in effect
since August 27 , 1965 , per the request of his abutting
neighbor- =
If thhis office can be of any further assistance in
this or 2ny other matter,please do not hesitate to call .

Re: 4 Orleans Ave.
Dear Mr. Dennedy:
I would like to extend my appreciation for letting me
inspect the premises at 4 Orleans Ave. As you know my office
received a complaint that your property was being used as
a two ( 2 ) family dwelling.
Per my inspection on September 30, 1993 it is my deter-
menation that the property on 4 Orleans Ave. is not being
used as a two family dwelling, nor does it have a seperation
between the first and second floors , which would determine
the use as a one family dwelling.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
