Re: 5 Adams Street, Salem, MA
Dear Mr. Martineau:
Please be advised that I have examined various documentation
relative to the use of 5 Adams Street as a two family dwelling. I
have examined a letter from the Board of Assessors, an Affidavit
from an abutter to the property and various census documentation.
Based on my review of this documentation, it is my opinion
that 5 Adams Street was a lawful two family residence prior to the
adoption of the City Zoning Ordinance in 1965. It is my opinion
that this building should be afforded the protection of Section
VIII (E) of the aforementioned ordinance relative to non-
conforming uses and this dwelling's current use as a two family
residence is permissible.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Very truly yours,
Kevin T. Daly,
City Solicitor

Will you kindly peruse the enclosed data to determine the legal use
of the above referenced property, which, according to our records is a
two family dwelling. The property is located in a Residential Single

Anything you can do to expedite this matter will be greatly

process of refinancing. Thank you.
