The hearing was closed on October 20, 2010 with the following Zoning Board of Appeals members present: Robin Stein, Richard Dionne, Annie Harris, Beth Debski, Becky Curran, Bonnie Belair (alternate), and Jimmy Tsitsinos (alternate).

Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of the zoning ordinance, as the proposal improves the properlyand provides parking not previously provided on the site. 2.

CITY OF SALEM LL til PUBLIC PROPERTY DEPARTMENT A KIMBERLEY DRISCOL L V OPY NLWOR 720 WASI-QNG'1'ON$1'AEE'1 * SALEM,MASSACHUSEPfS 01970 TEL:978-745-9595 FAX:978-740-9846 STOP WORK ORDER 29 BOSTON STREET September 7, 2010 Ms Ivett Rivera 29 Boston Street Salem,Ma. 01970 Dear Ms. Rivera, In September of 2008 we issued a building permit for you to reconfigure some walls on the second floor of your house at the above address. On April 23, 20091 made an inspection and withheld final approval of the permitted work because new columns on the second floor were not adequately supported on the floors below. On August 11 of this year you applied for a permit for a first floor kitchen and bathroom renovation. I called you on or about that time and asked for more information regarding the proposed scope of work. I had nothing from you until last week when your contractor called to arrange another inspection. On September 4 of this year I came to your property and determined that adequate supports relative to the September 2008 permit were installed but I also learned that the first floor renovation work included changing the occupancy of the building to a 2-Family Dwelling. No permits were applied for, nor granted for this work. Further,you will need relief from the Zoning Board of Appeals before permits for that work can be issued. 780 CMR Massachusetts State Building Code, Section 118.1, regarding violations of the construction code, states that it is unlawful to add, alter, or construct any structure without the proper permit to do so. No further work may be done until such time as the order is lifted. Any person who shall continue any work in or about the building or structure after having been served with a Stop Work Order, except such work as that person is directed to perform to remove a violation or unsafe condition, shall be liable to a fine of not more than $1000, or by imprisonment for not more than one year, or both for each violation; with each day constituting a separate violation. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact the Building Inspectors Office at (978) 745-9595 ext. 5644 Sincerely, Thomas McGrath Assistant Building Inspector cc: file, Fire Prevention,Electrical Dept., Plumbing Insp.
