Re: 13 Becket St. Salem
Mr. Lutrzykowski,
Mr. Chalupowski has asked me to examine the chimney at the rear of the building on
13 Becket St. in Salem to see if it appears to be in danger of collapsing and if the
present method of securing the chimney to the building is adequate. He has also
requested that I examine the ladder attached to the left side of the building for
structural adequacy.
On November 25, 20111 was able to visit the house at 13 Becket Street and make
the following observations:
1) The chimney does not appear to have shifted or moved from where it was
constructed and is braced and adequately attached to the Building.
2) The ladder on the left side of the dwelling was tested for structural
stability. It appeared to be 0.K. to me,
I have suggested the following improvements to Mr. Chalupowski.:
1) That the void between the building and the chimney be filled with
insulation and the missing trim boards sealing the space be replaced so
that water is not allowed to enter the void.
2) That the rust on metal brackets supporting the chimney and the ladder be
removed and the metal primed and painted.
Hope th• ade uately addresses those concerns.
