Re; Incident on 2/25/20
Dear Owners ,
At approx.. 2130 on February 25th, I was called to the above address by Salem police. I was asked to look at the
section of railing on the second-floor exterior landing on the Gedney Street Court side of the property.
The individual,that was injured,was already on-board the ambulance. I was able to look at the approximately
three-foot-long section of horizontal rail and balusters that were on the ground. I checked both ends of the
railing section and could not see any nail holes or screw penetrations where fasteners would have secured the
rail section to the upright posts. I asked the Salem Police street Sgt.to document this fact which he did with a
Department camera .
You are directed to make at least a temporary repair and within 30 days a permanent repair to this railing
section. A building permit will be required(permit and repair to be done by a licensed Construction
Supervisor).
If you have any questions,please contact me directly.
Sinceply,
