Re: 22 Charles Street,Salem,MA 01970
Dear Mr. Dimino,
It has come to my attention that the above-referenced property is vacant. As such,this property needs to
be registered with the City pursuant to Sections 12-66 through 12-73 of the Code of Ordinances,entitled
"Regulating the Maintenance of Abandoned and Foreclosing Residential and Commercial Properties."
For your convenience, I have attached a copy of the Ordinance and the Registration Form. As you can
see, it requires that the owner be responsible for maintaining vacant property and mandates monthly
inspections. In addition, each property must be registered with the City and remain so until it is no longer
abandoned/vacant or in foreclosure.
Please complete the attached registration form and send it, along with the registration fee(check to be
made out to City of Salem),to the Building Department,98 Washington Street,2'Floor, Salem,MA
01970. Failure to register the property may result in fines of$300.00 per day, with each day considered a
separate offense.
If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call.
Sincerely,
Victoria B. Caldwell
