CERTIFIED MAIL# Z 00 0 114 337 cc- Bldn his Frank Siennkiewiccz Richard M. Evans Attorney at Law 56 Main Street Northampton, Massachusetts 01060 August 10 , 1995 Mr. Peter J. McErlain, Health Agent Northampton Board of Health City Hall Northampton, Massachusetts 01060 Re: Premises of Charlie Wang, 79A Hawley Street Dear Mr. McErlain: Mr. Wang has forwarded to me a copy of your letter of July 31, 1995, concerning the second floor of the building at 79A Hawley Street. Please understand that Mr. Wang is attempting to do everything he can at this point to comply with the law. The tenants, Amy Sindarsky and Karen Hansmann have apparently not yet moved out, notwithstanding their telling Mr. Wang and myself that they would be doing some some weeks ago. I have written to them several times, but have heard nothing from them or counsel. As you know, their tenancy runs out at the end of this month, hence the building should be in compliance at that time--assuming they do not hold over. In any event, we will continue doing everything we can to comply with the law. Thank you for your courtesy. RME:ed Encl. Telephone 413-5861348 Ver r my yours, Ric and M.
