Residential District. (See Regulations below)The following actions are required
immediately to bring the property into compliance with the Massachusetts State Building
Code and City of Salem Zoning Ordinances:

(City of Salem Zoning Ordinances)
2. Two-family or Multi family dwelling units are defined on page 83 of the City of
Salem Zoning Ordinances)A landlord cannot rent a dwelling unit to more than 3

3. Provide a signed and notarized affidavit stating the individuals and their
relationships that will be residing in the Unit#1 apartment prior to this
department issuing any permits for this unit.
Said work must begin immediately; failure to respond to this notification will be construed as
non-compliance, if you feel you are aggrieved by this order,your appeal is to the Board of Buildings,
Regulations and Standards in Boston.
