Stacy John Thomas 22-24 Park Street/23 Dow Street Friday, April 3, 1998 PreTrial—Complaint on Sanitary Code Violations Hearing—Illegal Apartment —Building Code Violations Dear Attorney Hopkins: As you are aware the above captioned matter(s) are scheduled for next Friday. It is my understanding that tenants in illegal apartment (Dow Street#1) have moved out. The health department has received information that there may be a new tenant there. This would be a flagrant violation of the code. Please address with Mr. Thomas. It was also my understanding that the second floor tenants (22-24 Park, 2ad Fl) would be out by March 28h. Please update. The tenants are still reporting problems to the Health Department. Each of the three existing apartments need certificates of fitness. Please have Mr. Thomas contact both the Health Department (Ginny Moustakis 74 1-1800) and Building Inspector Kevin Goggin 745-9595) to re-inspect the premises next week prior to our court date. Lastly, I have also enclosed the final receipt form The Clipper Ship Inn for $373.00 for the time the Health Department had to put up the tenants because of no heat in their apartment. Please address this with your client as well. Thank you for your attention to each of these matters. Do not hesitate to call with any questions. Ve best regards, Jo D. Keenan, Esq. JDK/kjm cc.

Notice of the hearing was sent to abutters and others and notices of the hearing were properly published in the Salem Evening News in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A. Petitioner, owner of the property, is requesting a Special Permit to allow the expansion of a nonconforming three (3) family dwelling to a four (4) unit dwelling and a Variance from parking requirements for the property located at 22-24 Park Street. The property is located in a R3 district. The provision of the Salem Zoning Ordinance which is applicable to this request for a Special Permit is section 5-3(j ) , which provides as follows: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing in this Ordinance, the Board of Appeal may, in accordance with the procedure and conditions set forth in Section 8-6 and 9-4, grant Special Permits for alterations and reconstruction of nonconforming structures, and for changes, enlargement, extension or expansion of nonconforming lots, land, structures, and uses, provided, however, that such change, extension, enlargement or expansion shall not be substantially more detrimental than the existing nonconforming use to the neighborhood. .n more general terms , this Board is, when reviewing Special Permit requests, guided by the rule that a Special Permit request may be granted upon a finding by the Board that the grant of the Special Permit will promote the public health, safety, convenience and welfare of the City's inhabitants. The Variance which has been requested may be granted upon a finding of the Board that: A. Special conditions and circumstances exist which especially affect the land, building or structure involved and which are not generally affecting other lands, buildings or structures in the same district. B. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would involve substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the petitioner. DECISION ON THE PETITION OF STACY JOHN THOMAS FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT AND VARIANCE AT 22-24 PARK STREET, SALEM page two C. Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent of the district or the purpose of the Ordinance. The Board of Appeal, after careful consideration of the evidence presented, at the hearing, makes the following findings of fact: 1 . The Petitioner did not submit a scaled drawing for the property. 2 . Jean Martin of 32 Park Street, Salem, Mass. spoke in opposition to the petition. On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented at the hearing, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows: 1 . The Special Permit and Variance cannot be granted without substantial detriment to the public good or without nullifying and substantially derogating from the intent of the district or the purpose of the Ordinance. 2 . The granting of the Special Permit and Variance requested will not be in hara:onv with the neighborhood and will not promote the public health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City's inhabitants . Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted unanimously, 4-0, against the granting of the Special Permit and Variance requested. Having failed to garner the four affirmative votes required to pass, the motion to grant fails and the petition for a Special Permit and Variance is denied.

Inspector Joanne Scott, Health Agent One Salem. Green 9 North Street Salem, Massachusetts 01970 Salem, Massachusetts 01970 RC22-24 StacJohnShomns Street/23 Dow Street Dear Leo On Friday,'February 20, 1998,Mr. Thomas was arraigned in Salem District Court regarding violations of the state sanitary code.. Mr:,Thomas did appear with his attorney, Christopher Hopkins. The matter is now scheduled for a Pre Trial Conference on April 3, 1998 which is the same day the hearing on the illegal apartment complaint was previously rescheduled to. Mr. Stacy has reached agreements with both the two men in the undersized ("illegal") and the minister to move out by February 28th and March 28th respectively. As expected, Mr. Thomas' appeal to have the 169 square foot apartment approved as a fourth unit was denied. I did advise of his right to appeal. He informed me that he did not plan on appealing. His plan is tD either knocl down the wall and »hire entire first floor one apartment or simply let the other first floor apartment use this space for additional storage. I informed Mr. Stacy that he needs to get permits for work to be done and needs a certificate of fitness on the upstairs apartment before renting out. Ideally, any pending health and/or building code issues can be resolved prior to April 3, 1998. We should plan on inspecting a final time before that date. Lastly; Joanne if you have a bill.on the second time we put up the tenants at Clippef Ship,'please forward.and I will address with Mr. Thomas and his attorney. I very much appreciate your assistance in this matter. Do not hesitate to call with any questions. Very best regards, Jo U.'Keenan, Esq. JDK/kjm cc. Christopher Hopkins, Esq.

Thomas : First please understand that the property located at 22-24 Park Street is a legal three (3 ) family dwelling, it has never been legally changed to a four ( 4 ) family dwelling. Proper permits to increase the dwelling units were never applied for, or issued . In order to increase the dwelling units in a structure that is a legal non-conforming structure per City of Salem Zoning Ordinance , you must apply to the City of Salem Board of Appeals for a Special Permit . At which time if permission is granted, an inspection of the property and a Certificate of Occupancy will be issued if the unit conforms to all City and State codes . Please understand it does not matter that the Health, Fire and Assessors office were mistaken the property to be a legal four ( 4 ) family dwelling, they can only assume it is a legal structure, for them to research every structure they inspect is impossible . It is the responsibility of my office to research the legal status of a building when the legality is in question . I will not cancel the hearing scheduled for January 16 , 1998 at 11 : 30 unless or until you file proper papers with the City of Salem Board of Appeals to legalize a fourth unit . r Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.

Tremblay: I would like to extend my deepest sympathies during your time of sorrow. With respect to your letter dated September 23rd; Paragraph 2, your Notice Of Complaint Hearing October 27th, and the Complaint Hearing with Ms . Farmer, Clerk Magistrate held on November 17th : I came into the Building Department this morning, met with Mr . Kevin Goggin, Assistant Building Inspector, and re-checked the Building File and the information I received therein . According to at least two City Department 's records, 22/24 Park Street and 23 Dow Street have been recognized as a four unit building for some number of years . I purchased this property in July 1996 . Before purchasing this building I came into the City Building Department and requested to see the Building File . Telephone number : ( 617 ) 576-3414 Leo E . Tremblay/ 2 December 19th, 1997 The only paperwork that was in the File were two letters from the Health Departed dated September 23rd and October 07th, 1986 . These letters were signed by V. Moustakis, and both letters refer to the building as a four unit apartment building . These letters were also copied to the Building Inspector, Electrical Inspector and Fire Prevention . ( See attached Health Department letters ) I assumed that because there were no follow up correspondences, any violations that might have existed had been corrected . I asked if there was any additional information on the property, and the person on duty at the desk suggested that I check with the City Assessors Office . At the Assessors Office they explained that they have been assessing and taxing this property as a four unit building since at least August 06th, 1973 . They stated they suspect that they have been taxing this property as a four unit long before this date but could not confirm such because they do not keep rer,ords before 1973 . ( See attached City Assessors Building Record ) In addition, just prior to purchasing this property, the Salem Fire Prevention Bureau issued a Certificate Of Compliance to the seller . This Certificate clearly states the building has four units . ( See attached Certificate Of Compliance ) After reviewing and relying on this information, I was satisfied that the property was a legal four unit building and concluded the purchase . Leo E. Tremblay/ 3 December 19th, 1997 I believe this information should be sufficient enough to have the November 17th Complaint Hearing dismissed . Please forward me a copy of the dismissal letter you forward to Ms . Farmer for my records . If you have any questions or if I can be of additional assistance please do not hesitate to contact me .
