Dear Sir and Madam,
The Salem Board of Health has received numerous complaints about rats harboring on
your property at 39 Moffat Road here in Salem, Massachusetts. An inspector, Jeffrey
Barosy, has visited the property twice during the Summer of 2022. While no evidence of
rats were observed during these inspections, the inspector cannot rule out the
possibility of rats harboring in and on the property due to not being able to access the
rear of the property, not being able to see if the ground was free of rat burrows because
of plant overgrowth, and having to visit during the daytime when rodent activity is
usually minimal. The inspector is also unaware if the property is occupied.
Please contact the Salem Board of Health upon receipt of the letter so this matter can
be discussed. The Salem Board of Health's general phone line is 978-741-1800. The
inspector's direct line is 978-619-5657. Thank you.
