Dear Mr. Cabreja:
It has been brought to the attention of this office and the Electrical Department, that you

The Electrical Department sent notice of the violation to in a certified letter dated July 7,

In that letter, you were required to secure the services of a Licensed Electrician to pull
permits and remedy the violations. To date there has been no action taken by you.

This department has also been notified that you have remodeled your unit without any
building permits.
Per the Authority of the State Building Code 780 CMR, Section 115.6, you are required
to contact this office within 10 days upon receipt of this letter to arrange for an inspection
of your unit. Failure to comply with this order will result in a complaint being filed in

Re: Virginia Smith
44 Prince Street, Unit 2
Salem, MA 01970
Dear Sir:
Please be advised that I represent Virginia Smith who resides at a condominium located at 44
Prince Street, Unit 2, Salem, Massachusetts 01970. Since July 3, 2002 the City of Salem has been aware
of serious violations of the electrical and plumbing codes of the City of Salem by the owner of Unit 1 at
44 Prince Street, Salem, Massachusetts owned or occupied by Victor Cabreja. Based upon a review of the
city's file it does not appear that the City of Salem has so far caused Mr. Cabreja to comply with the
applicable safety codes.
This letter is to request that your department take any and all steps necessary to immediately cause
Mr. Cabreja to bring his unit and the common areas of the condominium into compliance with the codes.
My client is very concerned that a failure to take action could lead to her and her sister who occupy her
apartment suffering serious bodily injury or death. If there is any reason why your department cannot
fulfill this role kindly notify me at once. Thank you.
Very truly yours, y
Roy F. Gelineau
