Andrade 4 Vista Avenue Salem, Ma. 01970 Dear Mr. Andrade This letter is to notify you that previously cited retaining wall at your property continues to be an unsafe structure and is in danger of collapse now that the temporary steel bracing for that wall has been removed. Under Section 121.3 of the State Building Code you are required to begin to make this structure safe within 24 hours of receipt of this notice. Failure to address this situation could result in further action by the City of Salem, which could include this department causing the removal of this unsafe structure, under the provisions of 780CMR Section 121, followed by an attachment of liens to the appropriate properties to cause repayment of any incurred expenses.

The work that was done to stabilize this collapse,was done by a contractor hired by the city, with this expense recovered by a lien. This work was only intended to be a temporary fix, so as to stabilize the collapse, and prevent any further public safety issues. It has been well over a year since this work was done, and you took this property over, this wall requires further engineering so as to establish a plan to reconstruct and/or remove the remaining structure. By code any wall that holds back more than four feet of loose fill needs to be engineered, and these same reports need to be filed with this office, in conjunction with a building permit application. It is in your best interest to begin to address this situation as soon as possible, as it is only getting worse. There will soon come a day when this office will once again be called to this property to once again declare this structure unsafe. At that time we will again be forced to make the situation safe, and then place a lien on your property for the expenses incurred. It would be by far in everybody's best interest if you were to begin the process of correcting this situation without our further involvement. If you have any further questions please feel free to call this office at (978) 745-9595, ext 386. Si cerely, o eph E.

Observations The wall that collapsed is an improvised retaining wall consisting of a 6'-4"high masonry fence on top of a 17"thick up to 10'-0"high unreinforoed concrete wail. The wall is buttressed on the Vista Ave side by tapered concrete wing walls that aka 12"thick by T-2"at the base. There are two of these walls at 16-0"on canter, and tban the last run of the tallest portion of the wall is unbmced by lnitttesses for the southerly 20'-0"of wall. The buttresses are also presumably constructed of unreinforrad concrete. The base of the retaining wall site on top of a projection that varies from 2'-10"high,to 31-6"high. This projection is an earth filled planting bed for part of its length, and is a solid concrete base for the taller end. We took measurements of plumb along the wall and determined that at the free end of the wall it is out of plumb 3"in V-0".Extrapolating that wall tilt over the retained soil height of the wall is out 71/2"in 10'-0". Extrapolation that wall tilt over the retained soil height plus the masonry fence on top of the wall is out 121/2"in 16'-41/2". The portion c f the wall that collapsed is at the high end that retained approximately 10'-0"of soil and that rebased 90 degrees from Vista Ave. The South high most out of plumb and of the wall is the portion most in danger of further collapse. At this end of the wall Dialio has installed three dmber firemen that braced back to holes in the pavement and that are fastened to a vertical wood cleat on the two of the wall. Plowe note that Structures North hat not evaluated the timber frame bracing;provided by Dialto. We have made some recommendation on site for improving this bracing. T 9 e bracing provides some margin of temporary protection, but the stabilization technique des cribed by Structures North follows in the section wader "Recommendations," below. Upon the ooll apse of the south retaining wall that returns 90 degrees from vista Avenue,the soil has sloughed toward the south and has surcbargW a smaller concrete block retaining wall that rums along th h Vista Avenue sidawalk. This smaller wall has tilted and is itself in danger of collapse. The cause of the retaining wall collapse was insufficient capacity of the marginally buttresses unreinfarced concrete wall precipitated by the lateral earth pressure of the saturated cohesive soils behind the wall that are insufficiently drained. 2 DEC-10-2004 01:0411M FROIFStructuret North 19797456067 T-249 P,004/004 F-31 4 Meta Avent a 10 December 2004 Salem,Musechewgts Structures North Consulting Engineers PLecon asseadations The followmi recommendations are based on stabilization and not on permanent repairs to the retaining wall. As discussed with Dialio,the concern of the City is in malting the wall safe and secure,and it will be the property owner's responsibility to have designed and implemented the permanent repairs to the retaining wall. The stabilization recommendations will result in a stable temporary coadition that does not require bracing onto the City street or sidewalk. The top 4'-0"of soil,x 4'-0"wide should be removed from the backside of the wall in order to relieve the lro:eral earth pressure. This requires careful placxmart of the excavator at least 10'-0" away from the wall(close to the pool wall). It also requires that the excavator be moving away from the stockpiled soil. The 4'-0"excavation should leave s stable slope,and the excavated area should be protected from trespass except by authorized personnel. Note that once the excavation is made,it will not be possible to re aeoess the high grade area with a backhoe with without font performing the permanent retaining wall repairs. . The lowered grade behind the wall should be sloped 1/8"in 1'-0" toward the south with a slight Swale and then should be tarped. Tarps should be placed from south to north should overlapped 8"so that wagr runoff will continue downhill. The South comer of the wall should get a temporary brace consisting of a steel frame anchored to the wall and supported on the existing concrete footing 3'-6"above the sidewalk. This frame essentially takes the place of the buttresses over the end 20'-0" of laterally unbraced wall. Structures North will issue a sketch for this frame. i The top masonry fence should be removed from the south 20'-0" end of leaning retaining wall. The low mammy reteining wall should be removed and the grade behind it made stable with not more than a 1:1 slope toward the south. The surface of the sloping grade Should be protected from erosion using geofabrie. We have discussed these recommendation with Dialio construction on site,and will follow up with sketchet and confirmation that the wall has been stabilized by the removal of 4'-0"of soil Som behind ibe wall.
