JAQUITH , AIA 11 August 2009 Jane A. Guy Assistant Community Development Director Salem Historic Commission 120 Washing ton Street Salem, Massachusetts 01970 RE: Salem Suede Inc. Demolition 72 Flint Street Salem, Massachusetts To the Salem Historic Commission: The Salem Suede Building are vacant at present time, with the exception of a metal building used by a fence company.There has been a roof collapse on 23 July 2009 that set off the sprinkler system.This collapse will require the owner to take action or the building will be declared "unsafe" per section 120 of the Massachusetts State Building Code 780 CMR. (See Building Inspectors Letter, dated 24 July 2009 and attached photographs.) It is my opinion that portions of the roof areas are unsafe at Salem Suede and the floors pitch as much as a foot from the Mason Street side of the building to the North River side of the building.This sloping of floors is probably caused by soil conditions.There are also areas where posts have been removed and beams reinforced, but who knows if the beams were calculated or designed. Please give me a call if you have any questions. sincerely, { DaVid I. 1.lquilh_ Al' R VID F. ` Registered Archite JAQUrrH No.2853 .. CC: Rowley, MA Alan Zion President Salem Suede, Inc.

Roof collapse Mr Zion, The Salem Fire Department responded to your building last night due to a sprinkler alarm. Upon arrival, Salem Fire determined that the water flow was caused by a sprinkler pipe that had broken due to a section of the roof that had collapsed on it.Salem fire then called me to the scene. The roof,in my opinion and based on visual observations,collapsed due to water ponding on the roof and deterioration of the roof beams along the edge of the roof due to long term leaking. . You are directed to retain the services of a Licensed Structural Engineer to address the repair to this section of the roof. You are further directed to have a Structural engineer examine the rest of the structure and to submit a written report to this office. Failure to comply with this order will result in the building being declared"unsafe"per section 120 of the Mass.State Building Code. The Inspection and report needs to take place as soon as possible.If you have any questions ,please contact this office. If you feel you are aggrieved by this order, your Appeal is to the Board of Buildings,Regulations and Standards in Boston..

The building overlooking the North River canal near the corner of Flint and Mason streets in Salem,has long been an eyesore,and its structural defects are obvious. Unfortunately, efforts to redevelop the property for housing have been on hold for well over a year as a result of a lawsuit filed by the meddlesome Federal Street Neighbor- hood Asso- ciation and a few others.

Their plan to build 130 rental units with 309 parking spaces—including a dozen that would be reserved for current residents of the congested Flint Street neigh- borhood—has the support of many city officials.Mayor Kim Driscoll views it's a critical piece of her administra- tion's effort to upgrade the Bridge Street corridor. Almost anything would be an improvement over what's there now.But the proposed Riverview Place provides the city with an opportunity to replace a dilapidated and mostly vacant former industrial complex with modem,well- designed housing,and boost its tax base at the same time. Unfortunately,the state Land Court,which has juris- diction over the nuisance suit, has a full docket and a hearing is not anticipated until December. Given the damage the recent rains caused, one wonders whether the structure can survive another winter.
