RE: 10 Derby Street
Dear Ms. Lavoie:
I have continued to receive complaints of the above mentioned property.
I have made an inspection of the property and have come to the opinion that
you have no intention of making any repairs to the unsafe abandoned building.
The building has deteriorated in the last year to a point were a major effort
must be made to alleviate the possibility of a fire. The structure is located
to closely to an abutting structure and must be repaired or demolished as to
assure the safety of the people residing at the abutting structure.
I am requesting that said building be brought up to structural acceptance
according to State Building Codes with stamp approved drawing from a qualified
structural Engineer submitted to this office. Or that the structure be
demolished and removed within ten ( 10) days upon receipt of this letter.
Failure to do so will result in the office acquiring special permission from
the Mayor's office and or City of Salem Councillors to have said structure
removed and a lien placed on said property per State Building Code 780 CMR
Fifth Edition, Section 123. 1 and 123. 2.
Please notify this office upon receipt of this letter as to your course of
action in this matter.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Leo E. Tremblay
Inspector of Buildings
