receipt of this notice, to discontinue the use of the second dwelling unit
and to contact this office during this period for an inspection of the

Dear Mr . Munroe ,
Recently a Mr. Bill Blenkhorn, the city health inspector ,
inspected the property at 18 BERTUCCIO AVE. SALEM, MA. and by
now has informed you of the illegal apartment at this address .
He said at that time that the owner , a Mr . Nieolo J . Omelli
and myself would get a registered letter in the mail about the
problems with this property and the apartment which he has been
renting for the last aprox. ten years or so without any occupancy
certificate. ' At this time I still have not received any letter .
However, I feel that I should let you know that he has gotten
ahold of Harbor Reality at 111 Derby St . in Salem and that they
are starting to show the house to people . On Sunday the 17th of
last month they brought a woman and her daughter by to see the
property. Harbor reality were the people who rented the place to
us two years ago without the proper permits . They knew this , because
they put it in the lease that the property did not have an occupancy
certificate . That means that they haven' t bothered to check to see
if he got one yet , or they just don ' t care . Either way, they are
showing the property for rental, and I believe that this is unfair
to the people that they are showing it to . The proper certificates
haven ' t been obtained yet , nor has any of the repairs been made
yet . And I was told that he has rented the place already again.
Mr . Onelli it appears ( since it was in my lease two years
agoabout the absence of an occupancy permit) has no intentions
of obeying the law and getting the proper certificates . Also by
having these people in to view the house, he doesn ' t appear to be
planning on doing any of the necessary repairs(of which I believe
some are supposed to be mandatory) to the house .
Also from the impression that I got from the reality company
and the people they were showing the house to, it looks as. if
they are showing this house to people under the impression that
it is a one family house . (which it is , but which Mr . Onelli has
illegally taken it upon himself to alter) .
And finally Mr . Blenkhorn asked me to tell you when I had moved
out of the house . As of this date I have moved out .
Thank you
E . FRILEY
