At this time the air conditioning is not turned on. Massachusetts law mandates all landlords to provide heat from September 15 - June 15 event' year. Unfortunately, we are not set up to have both the air conditioning and heat on at the same time. We realize that we have already had some 80 degree days, and that Mother Nature does not always agree with the law; however we must obey the law. Fortunately, we do allow you to use your own window air conditioning units to get you through this season more comfortably. There is one quick form you need to fill out. If you are interested please contact the office. Once the air conditioning has been turned on we will post notices immediately. Your patience will be greatly appreciated.

She states that in one woman's apartment, the ambient air temperature inside the apartment 97 degrees at 9:00pm. She says that she has been looking at the state Sanitary Code and needs some fication. She is wondering why the Northampton BOH did not grant a variance on this building to mmodate air conditioning in the summer months. The woman is quite concerned about this issue is looking for some sort of guidance as she claims that the high temperatures are unsafe for the Ile living in her building, particularly for the elderly folk living there. can be reached at 413 586-7762 or 413 559-7762. tdia Sarti PH Western Regional Office earch Analyst, BEHA ne: (413) 586-7525 ext. 1192 Idia.sarti(a)state.ma.us ARD OF HEALTH MEMBERS IA C.SALLOOM, CHAIR ZANNE SMITH, M.D. )ANNE LEVIN,M.D. STAFF injamin Wood, MPH actor of Public Health Cott,R.N., Public Health Nurse 'etrosky, Health Inspector ather Mcbride, Clerk J Vershon on Court Apartments npton Avenue Impton, MA 01060 CITY OF NORTHAMPTON MASSACHUSETTS 01060 OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH 212 MAIN STREET NORTHAMPTON, MA 01060 rshon: orthampton Health Department has received a copy of a memo titled "Air Conditioning es" written by Hampton Court Staff. The purpose of this letter is to clarify the law that you rice in the memo. 105 CMR 410.000 (Chapter II of the State Sanitary Code) does stipulate that the period other than June 19' to September 19 dwellings need to be provided with heat. The of this regulation is to ensure that temperatures do not fall below a certain threshold (68 es during the day and 64 degrees during the night). The regulation further states that :ratures will not exceed 78 degrees during this time period. 105 CMR 410 should not be used to at the heat needs to be on continuously throughout this time period but rather that adequate ;ratures need to be maintained. If the heat is on, as the memo states, temperatures in individual should not exceed 78 degrees. c you for your cooperation. / Gzrx.."

As you may be aware,the law states that landlords must provide heat during the heating season. which they have defined as September I S through June 15.(Please note that there is no law regarding a"cooling season"and landlords providing air conditioning. Air conditioning is considered an amenity.) Last week, in anticipation of the warm weather, I initiated a conger ation with the Northampton Board of Health to inquire as to how we can comply w ith the heating late while keeping our residents comfortable in unseasonable heat. I specifically requested perm lssion to turn the air conditioning on sooner than June 15. The result of our discussion, which w yesterday_was this. While we are required to provide heat until June 15ih, it is not necessary to have the heat on at all times. However, we are required by law to he able to turn the heating system back on if the temperatures are expected to get below 68 during the day and 64 at night. The issue is simply this:our heating and cooling system is not equipped to provide both heat and air conditioning at the same time and the law requires that landlords provide heat until June 15. Additionally,working within the heating and cooling system is not a simple process. In order to switch from heat to cool, we must do a fair amount of onsite prep work, which has already begun. When the onsite work is finished, we require an outside vendor,as many other building in the area do, to complete the conversion. We will get this work scheduled as soon as allowed. The fact that our systems are incapable of running concurrently makes it impossible to comply with the law and turn on the air conditioning.What we are permitted to do under the law is turn the heat off, which is also a cumbersome and time consuming process. However, in an effort to make residents more comfortable,we turned the building heat oft yesterday. Please note that the current forecast calls for temperatures in the sixties on Friday. which would require us to turn the heat back on. We will monitor the temperatures and if we need to, the heat will be turned back on and without discussic ompl iance with the law. We understand that Mother Nature does not always agree with the Board of Health heating season,but please understand that although Hampton Court and Federal Management do not makes these laws and policies, we are required to follow them. Further, because we do not hate a heating and cooling system that run concurrently, we are quite limited in what we call do. Al2 recommend that Hampton Court residents open the windows and use fans in your apartments You are also permitted and encouraged to use your own window air conditioners, which management is happy to install for you. At this time, Hampton court is fully complaint with the Board of Health regulations and we are not required to take any further action.We will monitor the temperatures moving forward and yye are working toward switching the heating system to cooling in the coming weeks. We hope you will understand the situation and be patient and respectful of the staff as we deal with the early heat as best we can. .9,2014 CITY of NORTHAMPTON PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT BOARD OF HEALTH MEMBERS:Donna Salloom, Chair—Joanne Levin, MD—Suzanne.Smith, MPH, MD— William Hargraves—Cynthia.Suopis, PhD STAFF:Merridith O'Leary, RS, Director-Daniel Wasiuk Inspector-Edmund Smith Inspector-Lisa Steinbock, RN, Nurse het Companies iana Vershon impden Avenue tamp of n,MA 01060 tpproved Variance Request Property Owner, rordance to 105 CMR 410.840 and 105 CMR 410.201, on May 15th, 2014, the Northampton Board of th approved (5-0) your request for a variance to change the heating season from June 15th to May 31st lampton Court Property located at 20 Hampton Avenue,Northampton,MA.
