Dear David,
I have called several times with concerns about 70 Salem Street. Water is being pumped out of the
residence and there appears to be a rat infestation on the property as well. I have been told the board
of health would look into the problems and get back to me with a time frame in which this problem will
be addressed. I appreciate your attention to this matter. I can be reached at 978-887-8856.
Sincerely,
Marie Gagnon

Subject:40 Salem Street
Good Afternoon David,
I was looking to schedule a meeting to go over concerns we have with an abutting property in Salem. We own 17-23
Palmer Street and our neighbor at 40 Salem Street has a major rodent infestation. Rats can be seen during the day
entering and exiting the house and retaining wall on the property. We have written multiple letters to the BOH office
but I thought it might be best to meet on site to discuss these concerns. We have hired an exterminator to monitor our
property however I believe this should not be our responsibility and without action this will be a perpetual
problem. Please let me know when we could schedule a meeting. FYI, I have attached a few pictures.
Thank you,
Steve Gagnon

Dear David,
Henry T.Gagnon realty owns 17-23 Palmer Street,Salem, MA. We have had a continual problem for
years with 40 Palmer Street which abuts our property. It has not been maintained in 20 years. We have
had and now have a more severe problem with rats.
We have placed calls at least 4 or 5 times in the past 6 months to the City of Salem to make the city
aware that this issue must be resolved the rats eat through our trash barrels and our foundation.We are
doing everything we can to protect our property and our tenants. The exterminator has mentioned
something needs to be done with 40 Palmer Street. We can not clear the rats from the whole city block.
I have enclosed copies of letters sent previously. I have spoken to Carrie on 3-23-21. Janice and
Elizabeth on 4-14-21.
Can we please have someone address this health hazard before someone gets bitten or the property is
destroyed. I can be reached at 978-887-8856 with an update as to your progress.
Please find enclosed copies of previous letters hoping for resolution to this problem.
Sincerely,
Marie Gagnon
