Re : 16 Freeman Road -Salem Ma.
Dear Sirs,
The property above was unsecured and a well being check was done by Salem police and fire several months
ago. Nobody was found inside the home, but severe hoarding and roof leaks have resulted in the home being
uninhabitable. Additionally,the roof over the rear cellar entryway has rotted and collapsed as well as the rear
stairs . My office secured the property and a lien has been recorded t6o cover those costs
The front steps have been repaired poorly and without a permit . The structure also has an issue structurally
on the right hand side of the home(looking from the street)and will need an Engineer to assess and design
repairs.
You are directed to contact this office upon receipt of this notice to arrange for a complete inspection and to
discuss your plans to correct the Building code violations.
Failure to address these items will result in Municipal code tickets and further enforcement actions.
If you ve any questions,please contact me directly.sti
Thomas St.Pierre
