Dear Sir,
An inspection of your above referenced residence in accordance with Massachusetts General
Law, Chapter 111, Sections 127A and 127 B and 105 CMR: 410.000: Chapter II, State Sanitary
Code, Minimum Standards of Fitness for Human Habitation, an inspection of your residence
was conducted by Jeffrey Barosy, Sanitarian for the Board of Health. Due to the occupant not
being present at the time of inspection, conditions were observed from the front entry to the unit
and are further supported by photographs from the Sanitarian.
Based upon determinations made during the inspection and in accordance with 105 CMR
410.831, the Board of Health determines that the danger to the life or health of occupants
is so immediate, condemnation is ordered immediately to the unit and the hearing
requirements of 105 CMR 410.831 B and C are waived. All occupants of the dwelling are
ordered to vacate immediately for living purposes. If any person refuses to leave the
dwelling they may be forcibly removed by the Board of Health or by local police
authorities on the request of the Board of Health.
The Board of Health cites 105 CMR 410.831 (D)of the State Sanitary Code, Minimum
Standards of Fitness for Human Habitation. To whit:
• There is an accumulation of garbage and filth, along with visible feces on the occupant's
bed and the presence of a urine odor coming from within the apartment.
In accordance with the 105 CMR: 410.000: Chapter II, State Sanitary Code, Minimum
Standards of Fitness for Human Habitation and Massachusetts General Law cited, the Board of
Health orders condemnation of your property.
No dwelling or portion thereof,which has been condemned and placarded as unfit for
human habitation, shall again be used for human habitation until written approval is
secured from, and the Board of Health removes such placard. No person shall deface or
remove the placard, except the Board of Health shall remove it whenever the defect or
defects upon which the condemnation and placard action was based have been
eliminated.
Should you be aggrieved by this Order, you have the right to request a hearing before the
Board of Health. A request for such a hearing must be received in writing in this office of
the Board of Health within seven (7) days of receipt of this Order. At said hearing, you will
be given the opportunity to be heard and to present witness and documentary evidence as to
why this Order should be modified or withdrawn. You may be represented by an attorney.
Please also be informed that you have the right to inspect and obtain copies of all relevant
inspection or investigation reports, orders, and other documentary information in the possession
of this Board, and that any adverse party has the right to be present at the hearing.
