Re 12 Briggs Street
Dear Mr. Tremblay :
As per your telephone discussion yesterday , I am writing
you with respect to the current use and status of 12 Briggs
Street . In your letter of 3/31/94 to Mr. Boudreault , you
alleged that the property was currently being utilized as a
four (4) family. This is absolutely not the case . Please
be advised that Mr. Boudreault ' s son lives in one unit with
two (2) friends . there as his roommates . The other unit is
Mr. Boudreault ' s permanent address . There are no other units
nor other tenants . A friend of Mr. Boudreault did prepare
temporary living :,quarters for himself in the basement while
he was attending to some repairs . Mr. Boudreault advised
him that he would have to leave. Mr. Boudreault did so upon
receipt of your letter and per my counsel . This same gentle-
men did make some repairs without a building permit in. order
to assist Mr. Boudreault in the aftermath of Mrs . Boudreault ' s
death last February . Mr. Boudreault was unaware that no
building permit had issued.
Mr. Boudreault works for the Perkins School for the
Blind in Watertown, Massachusetts . During the week due to long
hours and a long commute, he stays in an apartment in Watertown.
His permanent residence is 12 Briggs Street with their son.
There was a mild entrangement between Mr. and Mrs . Boudreault

before she passed. For that reason, Mr . Boudreault was
neither knowledgeable nor attentive with respect to the
status of 12 Briggs Street before February, 1994. Since that
time, with the assistance of his handyman friend, he has been
attending to basic maintenance. However, there never was and there
is not now any effort to increase the number of living quarters
at 12 Briggs Street .
Mr. Boudreault will remove any renovations in the basement
which might make that area a living unit . Within three (3) weeks
Mr. Boudreault will contact you and arrange a site visit . for you.
Mr. Boudreault will take such action , with respect . to a building
permit , as you request and require upon inspection . A copy of
this letter will be given to Mr. Boudreault in order to secure his
understanding.
Thank you for your patience with us . I am truly sorry that
so many phone calls were necessary before we finally talked. We
do appreciate your help, cooperation, and understanding .
