Dear Members of the Board of Health :
I am in receipt of your order to correct violations of Chapter 2
of the State Sanitary Code regarding the third floor apartment at
117 State Street, Northampton, Massachusetts.
Pursuant to 105 CMR 410. 850, I hereby appeal your order, and
request a hearing on the matters contained therein. However, I
feel a hearing on this matter may not be necessary considering the
circumstances now existing at the building.
I plan extensive renovation of the building, including the third
floor. The third floor apartment will be converted into three
apartments and dual exits will be provided for each such
apartment.
When I purchased the building, there were two tenants in the third
floor apartment, Robin Robatore and Mary Lewis. I started
eviction proceedings against both tenants, and obtained a default
judgment against Mary Lewis and execution for possession against
Robin Robatore. Mrs. Lewis has appealed the Judgment of the
District Court to the Superior Court; at this time, however, she
is only using the apartment, pending the outcome of her appeal and
no tenancy exists. Until she leaves the building, however, I
cannot proceed with my plans to renovate the apartments, nor can I
take the necessary steps to correct the egress problem you
mentioned in your order. As soon as she does leave, construction
can begin to correct this problem.
As to the floor boards in the main bedroom, which you mentioned in
your order, Mr. McErlain told me in my phone conversation with him
of February 5, that all that was needed was to install a two by
four underneath a portion of the floor. I shall see that this is
done in the very near future.
MORSE AND SACKS
Board of Health February 8, 1982
I suggest that this matter will resolve itself shortly, when Mrs.
Lewis eventually moves out of the building and renovation
construction can begin.
Should you have any questions in the meantime, please don' t
hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,
HMS/rn
