RE: 7 Vale Street, Salem, Mass.
To Whom it May Concern:
This office has received a complaint concerning the above mentioned
property as being illegally used as a three (3) family dwelling. The files in
this office indicate this building as being a two (2) family and we have no
records of permits having been issued to convert it to a three (3) family
dwelling.
Please contact this office upon receipt of this letter so we may
determine if this property qualifies per State Building Codes and City of
Salem Ordinance to be a three (3) family dwelling. Failure to do so will
result in legal action being taken against you.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation regarding this
matter.
Sincerely,
Leo E. Tremblay
Inspector of Buildings

Attn: Mr. Leo E. Tremblay
Dear Mr. Tremblay:
I am writting in response to a letter we received from your office concerning a house at
7 Vale Street, Salem zoned as a two-family being used as a three -family. There is no
possible way this house can be used as a three-family dwelling. As the house stands
now there are only two bathrooms and two kitchens, one for each unit. The basement
and attic are both unfinished and unheated.
Perhaps the person making the complaint noticed new faces entering and exiting the
first floor unit. We have had a turnover of tenants in March/April as we will again in
June. Or perhaps they simply mistakenly reported the wrong address.
Thank you for your concern in this matter. As least the person maiking the compaint is
keeping a watchful eye on the neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Roxanne L. Saunders
Owner

Dear Sir:
I. wish to call attention to the violation of zoning
Laws, and deterioration of two buildings. The location of the
two wooden frame, two family structures are No' s 7 and 9 Vale St.
The roofs, and the cellars leak. The heating systems are not used.
The plumbing isnot adequate„ The porches are unsafe. The railing
of the second floor blew off in a strong wind this winter, and the
one existing at No 9 is a hazard.
These houses are Zoned for two f lily dwellings, but
groups of up to I2 unrelated people have been living on the second
floor at No.' 7. 'On the. first floor at No. 9 t e family unit is a
mother aind her teen aged. daughter. Three unrel ted males also live
there.
The police have been called many times to quell
disturbances in both houses.
` The• ownerof.the houses says they are for, sale , but the^.price he it r- '-
is
'- 4 `�
is asking i.s .away above the market value .' The7 have been with
1 different Real Estate Brokers over a period of about three years.
This would seem to be his way to disregard the zoning Laws, and
the effect his.buildiings have on surrounding p operties.: '
Sincere..y yours
