RE: 31-33 Salem Street
Salem, Ma.
Dear Mr. Klotz:
This Department has received and investigated complaints regarding the extremely poor
condition of your building. Many of the violations that were observed today are noted on
various letters dating back several years.
State Building Code 780 CMR, Section 103 requires a building owner to maintain in a
safe, operable and sanitary condition all parts of a building.
Section 115.6 requires you to arrange an inspection of the building with this Department.
Failure to arrange this inspection will result in a complaint being filed in District Court.
The following items need to be addressed:
1. The rear porch is derelict including the top step, which is completely gone
2. This side porches on all 4 levels are completely derelict.
3. Interior rear stairs have broken treads.
4. Front and rear interior railings have missing ballisters.
5. Rear entry door and sill opens to the weather
These are Building Code problems identified without entering any units. Further
problems are anticipated upon unit inspections.
The following are plumbing and mechanical violations:
I.One of the two hot water heaters is leaking and needs to be replaced immediately.
2.One of the eight boilers is disconnected.
3. Water leaks were observed in other areas of the plumbing.
Other problems
1.Mattresses and bedding observed in basement and has been obviously been used for
sleeping areas.
2. Wiring violations are present throughout basement.
3. Lights are missing and broken in most areas of the basement.
4. Areas of basement contain large amounts of debris.
5. Emergency lights and hall lighting are not working.
6. Smoke detectors missing in at least 2 locations.
In closing, your building is in worse shape and contains many of the same violations that
have been present on many previous inspections.
You are directed to be present and to arrange for access to all units and areas for an
inspection on Tuesday, May 17, 2005 at 10:00 a.m.
Representation from all Inspectional Departments will be present for this inspection.
Failure to arrange and be present for this inspection will result in a complaint being filed
in District Court.
