The bench is pulled away from the edge of the building and has remained clear of the few pings that have come down. I did not see any sign of the pigeon that previously had always been roosting on the of the uppermost window over the problem area. iks for your efforts, and next time I will simply email you about something like this. n: Northampton Housing [mailto:jhite @hamphousing.org] t: Friday, September 16, 2011 5:51 PM Ed Smith 3en Wood jed: Re: Salvo House; outdoor seating at restaurant also Cahill Apartments !ply: e is no"outdoor seating area of the restaurant" at Salvo. No tables and no chairs. It's a patio/park. It's not part 'e food service area leased to Highland Valley Elder Services, which is inside the building. Functionally, the patio is e so a fire truck can get to the back side of the front wing of the building. Occasionally, the tenants association lave a cook out, and on those occasions (and as needed, such today as a result of your email) we power wash the ). I appreciate your suggestion about Nixalite or bird spikes. Attached is a photo taken of the area this afternoon. area behind Cahill takes all the run-off from the hill and from Lyman Terrace. There are several springs which run ugh the area, as well. The area was the location of the old Circle-K skating club, which was naturally flooded. Four s ago we replaced the drainage —Orangeburg pipe -- along the parking lot. Last year we installed a new drainage behind E-Building (the building to the right of the little apple tree that came down in the hurricane) and this year ire adding riprap on top of the drainage and grading that area so water will pitch from the building toward the gyp. We are also replacing, behind buildings H and G on the other side of the development, a blacktop culvert and igeburg drainage pipe that directed water to a catch basin, with an ABS drainage system and rip-rap on top. This NOT keep the area dry, but dryer. apple tree was chipped yesterday, and is being replaced. The lawn was, as you saw when you visited, mowed. have residents move in and move out, and they leave things by the dumpsters, as you describe. We remove ris to the dump about every week or ten days. We did so, on schedule, yesterday. Fortunately, nothing that you :ribed was a health concern. Photo attached. re down a laborer/groundskeeper —one of our guys is out long term with cancer-- so we are doing the best we with the staff we have available. free to give me a call about these things in the future. That should be sufficient for us to address your concerns.

There are ng pigeons at the top floor above the window surround, apparently only above this one area (I walked the Teter of most of the Salvo House). I'll attach some pictures and an Order to Abate a Public Nuisance. I realize it ake some coordination to get Nixalite or some other product in place, so we will set a date 30 days out for pection. ler call, this about Cahill Apartments; the biggest problems are being addressed as I witnessed (Zak's was ing on drainage); the lawn was just mowed (complaint was it was very tall and that was supported by the int of grass cuttings now on the ground); there remained 2 concerns: a fallen apple tree and the condition of the area. I will assume the tree will be taken care of in the next week to 10 days; I will attach an Nuisance Order ie Trash area - upholstered furniture, mattress, and old carpeting left out in the weather, and cardboard sting loose near the dumpster (pictures and Order attached). r copies of the nuisance orders are coming by regular mail; thanks for your attention to this. =rely and Smith th Inspector d of Health of Northampton Main Street, Northampton MA 01060 0587-1339; Fax: (413)587-1221 ith@northam Dtonma.gov of Northampton email messages are public records except when they fall under one of the specific statutory nptions. 2 DARE)OF HEALTH MEMBERS INA C.SALLOOM,CHAIR ;OZANNE SMITH,M.D. JOANNE LEVIN,M.D. amin Wood,MPH,Director ibbott,RN Public Health Nurse el Wasiuk,Health Inspector Ind Smith,Health Inspector leather McBride,Clerk CITY OF NORTHAMPTON MASSACHUSETTS 01060 OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH (413)587-1214 FAX(413)587-1221 212 MAIN STREET NORTHAMPTON,MA 01060 NOTICE TO ABATE A NUISANCE DATE: 9-14-2011 ADDRESS Salvo House-Northampton Housing Authority 49 Old South Street, Northampton MA Amer of Salvo House, Conz Street, Northampton MA we hereby notified to take action to remedy the conditions named below within JAYS of the service of this notice, according to Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 111, ions 122—125.
