Re :Required Inspection
Dear Mr. Rijker,
This Department has received a complaint/concern about a growing operation you have installed in your
basement. This Departments' concern is not what you are growing but about venting and other equipment you
may have installed to facilitate your plants. The building you are in a residential six unit building that falls
under the Commercial Building Code 780 CMR 9th edition with Mass amendments. Modifications in a
basement of a building like this, can have serious life safety impacts on other residents of the Building.
Therefore , Under the Authority of the Mass State Building Code, section 104.6 ,an inspection is required. This
Required Inspection must be arranged within 10 days of receipt of this notice. Failure to arrange for this
Inspection will result in Municipal Code tickets and further enforcement actions .
If you feel you are aggrieved by this order, your Appeal is to the Board of Buildings, Regulations and Standards
in Boston. If you have any questions,please contact me directly.Also,please contact me directly to arrange for
an inspection
Sincerely,
Thomas St.Pierre
