Dear Property Owner:
In response to a complaint, I recently visited your property and found the following
violations:
You appear to be building some kind of enclosure or kennel in your yard for which no
building permits have been issued in violation of the State Building Code 780 CMR
Section 110. The Structure you have erected appears to be in violation of the dimensional
requirements the Salem Zoning Ordinance Section 7-8 regarding Accessory Buildings and
Structures.
You are hereby ordered to immediately cease all building activity at your property and file
all required documentation for a building permit to erect an accessory structure or to
completely remove the existing structure.
For your convenience, I have copied the Section 7-8 of the Zoning Code below:
Sec. 7-8. Accessory buildings and structures.

subject to the following regulations:
(1) No accessory building or structure shall be located within any required front

the principal building, unless such accessory building or structure is attached to
the principal building.
(3) No unattached accessory building or structure shall be located nearer than
five (5) feet to any side lot line (side lots in this instance refer to a projected line

building or structure, excluding garages, shall not exceed one (1) percent of the lot
