Mr. William Munroe Building Inspector City Of Salem Salem, MA. 01970 Dear Mr., Munroe, I would like to bring to your attention what I believe to be the illegal use and occupancy of a two family house known as 53 Buffum St., Salem, MA. I am very familiar with this: house and this neighborhood in as much as I live next door at 55 Buffum St., and have lived there for over fourty years. For the past two years or so, since the house was sold by the former owner/occupant, Mr. & Mrs. Graffam, There has been constant flow of different people and vehicles for what seems to be a period of a few weeks to a few months. A significant number of vehicles seem to be associated with the construction or contracting business, such as pick-up tr dks' and vans containing tools and equipment. It appears that the two family house is being used as a "rooming house". A written reply as to your findings would be appreciated.
