Ms.Morgan,
ollowing up with this letter to you after my inspection of Monday February 25, 2013 at 3:30 p.m. I did call the
arty manager,Julia Clinton,and relayed the items I noted in my visit. 1 will copy her on this letter. There were
al popped drywall nails or screws in the bathroom and closet area,the bathroom closet doors that would not
some minor staining above and around the sprinkler pipes in the bathroom/closet area,and the need for some
on the kitchen backsplash. Ms.Clinton is referring these items to the maintenance staff.
mere concerned about the smell and quality of the cleanup in the bedroom area, especially about the possibility
dd or other unhealthy conditions caused by the flooding of the floor and carpet. At the time of my visit,and
ing back now,I did not notice any smell 1 would associate with dampness or mustiness. The carpet and pad
fired to be thoroughly dry both by touch,the lack of wetness on my knees from kneeling down to check the
t, and from the simple moisture meter check that probed into the pad and also did not indicate any wetness. The
al smell,may have been a combination of the new plaster and paint,residual odor from the carpet cleaning
ions,and the disinfecting powder which you added to the carpet yourself and was visible at the time of my visit.
ad recommend frequent vacuuming of the carpet and airing of the room (when the weather allows). A HEPA
vacuum will do the best job of removing any fine particles from the carpet and not discharging them into the
i inadvertently. Cleaning any vacuum will usually help not redistribute compounds that the vacuum picks up. At
own expense,you may of course engage an environmental testing company to analyze what microbial organisms
resent in the room;as I informed you this is beyond my training and abilities as a local health inspector. The
is of these tests can be difficult to interpret. I can use the presence of mold-like substances as an indicator of
tic dampness; I did not see any at the time of my inspection.
;e contact me if you have further questions.

Irea-
you do me the favor of forwarding this to the appropriate property manager? At the request of the occupant of
lit(Michele Morgan) I returned to her unit(I had been there in 2013). I will attach the correspondence from the
inspection when a different property manager was in place. No orders were written at that time but some routine
mance was done.
organ is keeping an impeccably neat, sparsely furnished unit. She had questions about the shower surround
ill being loose from the substrate; I checked and found that it was well ls very slight.around the assuredg her ceptl for where t
eces eces joined (vertical seam on the long wall) and even there the gap
ly to be leaking but that I would recommend a little caulk into the vertical seam and its molding to ensure no
ure will reach the substrate.
ier question was why the passage set latch bolt wouldn't engage in the strike plate-I lifted on the door very
ly and it does engage, but with too much effort for Ms. Morgan to be asked to do. Please adjust the door or
ianism so that the lock works with ease; the deadbolt does work properly(the hole in the deadbolt strike plate is
r and adjustments should be possible to the passage set that won't keep the deadbolt from working).
rwupants last question was a little different but worth consideration. if someone comes to the New South Street
ince and buzzes the 32C annunciator,when she lets them in they come in they have to let themselves in the door
e top of the stairs that lead down to her units"hallway door'. At her door she does have a peep hole but I think
was expressing that her neighbors all keep an eye on the hallway upstairs but someone can get all the way to her
Ind door and wait there out of sight of the rest of the tenants, outside of her interior door. She is wondering if she
have a lock and peephole at the top of her outer stairs, so she can decide to let someone in the last lock at that
t. 1'11 include the code section here:
480: Locks
owner shall provide, install and maintain locks so that:
Every dwelling unit shall be capable of being secured against unlawful entry.
Every door of a dwelling unit shall be capable of being secured from unlawful entry.(C)The main entry door
I dwelling containing more than three dwelling units shall be so designed or equipped so as to close and
k automatically with a lock,including a lock with an electrically-operated striker mechanism,a self-closing
h.and associated equipment. Every door of the main common entryway and every exterior door into said
ailing, other than the door of such main common entryway which is equipped as provided in the preceding
dente shall be equipped with an operating lock. (M.G.L. c. 143,§3R.)(D) Every entry door of a dwelling unit
rooming unit shall be capable of being secured from unlawful entry.
Every openable exterior window shall be capable of being secured.
Locking devices shall comply with the requirements of 780 CMR 1017.4.1 to avoid entrapment in the
itding.
ou call the hallway the main common entryway I think you can make a case to have a doorlock on that upper door.
ven't put this into orders because 1 think its worth a discussion -that secondary hallway is not part of her dwelling
it, but it does create a situation in which an occupant could feel less secure than her neighbors.
auks for your help-
