Dear Property Owner:
This office has received a complaint regarding rodents on your property located at 11 Jackson Street in the city of
Salem,Massachusetts.
An on-site inspection was conducted on October 5,2022 by Jeffrey Barosy,Sanitarian for the Board of Health.
During the inspection a rat burrow beneath the shed at the rear of the property and tracks leading into the rat burrow
were observed.The rear of the property also has plant overgrowth which includes vegetables such as squash and
green peppers,too.This plant overgrowth and the vegetables that are readily available provide both food and
harborage to pests.
Raccoons,rodents,etc. are considered a neighborhood nuisance and community health hazard.
The area beneath the shed at the rear of the property and any other parts of the property rodents may be harboring
must be exterminated inside and out by a licensed exterminator. Either remove plant overgrowth or manage plant
life on all sides of the property so that food and harborage are no longer provided to rats and other pests.After
extermination has taken place any burrows or holes must be filled and monitored and you must take all necessary
steps to prevent any infestation from occurring in the future. Additionally,you must submit to the Salem Board of
Health an Integrated Pest Management protocol for this property stating what actions have been taken and what
actions will be taken to prevent this infestation from occurring in the future.
In accordance with Mass General Laws,Chapter 111,Section 123 you are ordered to retain the services of a
licensed exterminator and suppress any rodent population within fourteen(14)days of receipt of this order
and a copy of this invoice and a treatment plan must be forwarded to this department upon completion of the
extermination.
Should you be aggrieved by this order,you have the right to request a hearing before the Board of Health. A request
for said hearing must be received in writing in the office of the Board of Health within 7 Days of receipt of this
order. At said hearing,you will be given an opportunity to be heard and to present witness and documentary
evidence as to why this order should be modified or withdrawn. You may be represented by an attorney. Please
also be informed that you have the right to inspect and obtain copies of all relevant inspection or investigation
reports,orders,and other documentary information in the possession of this Board,and that any adverse party has
the right to be present at the hearing.
