RENT WITHHOLDING(GENERAL LAWS,CHAPTER 239,SECTION 8A) H Code Violations are not being corrected you may be entitled to hold back your rent payments. You can do this without being evicted if: A. You can prove that your dwelling unit or common areas contain code violations which are serious enough to endanger or materially impair your health or safety and that your landlord knew about the violations before you were behind in rent. B. You did not cause the violations and they can be repaired while you continue to live in the building or apartment. C. You are prepared to pay any portion of the rent into court if a judge orders you to pay it. (For this it is best to put rent money aside in a safe place.) 2. REPAIR AND DEDUCT(GENERAL LAWS CHAPTER 111,SECTION 12M) The law sometimes allows you to use your rent money to make the repairs yourself. If your local code enforcement agency certifies that there are code violations which seriously endanger or materially impair your health,safety or well-being and your landlord has received written notice of the violations,you may be able to use this remedy. H the owner fails to begin necessary repairs(or to enter into a written contract to have them made) within five days after notice or to complete repairs within fourteen days after the notice you can use up to four months' rent in any one year to make the repairs. 3. RETALIATORY RENT INCREASES OR EVICTIONS PROHIBITED (GENERAL LAWS CHAPTER 186,SECTION 18 AND CHAPTER 239,SECTION 2A) The owner may not increase your rent or evict you in retaliation for making a complaint to the local enforcement agency about code violations. lithe owner raises your rent or tries to evict within six months after you have made the complaint he or she will have to show a good reason for the increase or eviction which is unrelated to your complaint. You may be able to sue the landlord for damages if he or she tried this. 4. RENT RECEIVERSHIP(GENERAL LAWS CHAPTER 111,SECTIONS C-H) The occupants and/or the Board of Health may petition the District or Superior Court to allow rent to be paid into court rather than to the owner. The court may appoint a"receiver" who may spend as much of the rent money as is needed to correct the violation(s). The receiver is not subject to a spending limitation of four months' rent 5. BREACH OF WARRANTY OR HABITABILITY You may be entitled to sue your landlord to have all or some of your rent returned if your dwelling unit does not meet minimum standards of human habitability. 6. UNFAIR AND DECEPTIVE PRACTICES(GENERAL LAWS CHAPTER 93A) Renting an apartment with code violations is a violation of the Consumer Protection Regulations for which you may sue an owner.

During the course of this event it was necessary to evacuate the two floors located above Starbuck because of the possibility of fire spreading to upper floors. I was called to the scene at 4:30am and during inspection of building I observed that several of the apartments only had one means of egress. There are to be six units located on the two floors, two of the units were occupied and one unit had boxes and furniture inside the remainder were unoccupied. The two apartments that had access to fire escape had that access blocked by kitchen counters, those apartments 3C and 2C must have the counters removed so as to provide clear path to fire escape. The remainder of the apartments 2B 2A, 3A,3C, do not have two means of egress, they lead directly to a corridor which leads to one staircase that goes to grade, this is a violation of 780 CMR 1010.2 which requires two means of egress. The second code violation is the lack of a notification alarm horns and strobes on the common areas at each landing on the staircase. The alarms should be tied into alarm from Starbuck to go off in the event of an emergency. If they had been in place the tenants on second floor would have been alerted of the fire. You have 30 days in which to install alarm system. You have 90 days in which to install second means of egress for apartments 2B,2A,3A,3C.As per Board of Health order you may not rent those apartments until receive a re-inspection from Board of Health for compliance with the states health and sanitation code. Failure on your part to comply will result in fines of up to $1000 per day for each day violation continues and or court action. You have right of appeal through Building Board of Regulation and Standards. If you have any questions please contact me at 587-1240.

Mathieu Director of Board of Health City of Northampton 212 Main Street Northampton, MA 01060 Re: 207-211 Main Street Dear Tony and Ernie: As you aware of 207-211 Main Street, TLC has been acting as mortgagee-in-possession of the above referenced property. I would like to update you on the physical progress and required improvements as you have requested in our meeting last week. In terms of physical improvements, a new fire system along with a new ten zone fire panel has been installed by Industrial Residential Security. Beaulieu Electric spent in excess of a solid week in the building addressing a multitude of electrical issues. We are proceeding on four separate evictions in the building. Upon receipt on the judgment for eviction, Hampshire Property Management will proceed with cleaning up the seemingly abandoned personal property in several units. Per your instructions.we will not lease-up any residential units until resolution of all egress issues. You have indicated a serious concern about the condition of the brick pointing. We are in the process of bidding out the pointing work to Fleury Masonry Company, Sullivan &Naray Construction Company as well as one or two more contractors. Once the brick pointing on the building has been stabilized and restored, we will focus on installation of a fire escape on the side of the building to provide a second means of egress. As you know, contractors are very busy right now and we are trying to expedite the bidding process and complete the brick pointing and installation of the fire escape as quickly as possible. I understand the urgency in resolving the various infrastructure deficiencies. We are methodically working through the various physical requirement of this poorly maintained building. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at 582-9970 ext. #101 or via email at rmm@hpmgnoho.com. Respectfully yours, Richard M.

Doug Kohl is working on finalizing the contract and it is our intention to let the bid next week. Managing this building has been a very involved project from both a tenant related evictions (4) and the physical improvements required to stabilize the property including three new heating units, extensive brick pointing on two walls, installation of a new fire safety system and electrical upgrades to address building code violations. I do understand that this work needs to be completed and completed relatively quickly. As you know, fabricating the steel for the fire escape will take several weeks prior to installation.

Thus, when I try to understand this comment of Bush's, I visualize children being prepared to breathe air polluted by toxins from industrial plants and util- ities, sick people being prepared to take medicines that have not been rigorous- ly tested for safety or efficacy and voters being prepared to honor an election process based on voting machines that are manufactured by partisans and that have no paper receipts. Such a free society does indeed pose challenges to"We the People." How can we be prepared for them? Perhaps instead of trying to learn to breathe polluted air, we should be changing the challenges and what "free society" means so that it doesn't mean "free from health and safety regulations."

The Board of Health is charged with responding to tenant complaints of unsafe living conditions. Health inspec- tors can enter private apartments on the request of tenants to determine the extent of problems. Orders issued by health inspectors in 1998 and 2000 to correct violations at 209 Main St. were never followed up. Some of the same safety violations were found at the tdbutions. We need such an organization on the national level to help us review the legit- imate national charities and set up fair appropriations. This organization would also serve to raise and send money for unfortunate incidents and situations such as the recent Tsunami.

ULIN Late last week, in a parking lot in New Jersey, the U.S. Army unveiled what may be the future of war: 3-foot- tall robotic "soldiers," outfitted with tank tracks, night vision and mounted automatic weapons capable of firing more than 300 rounds at a burst.Known as SWORDS (Special Weapons Obser- vation Reconnaissance Detection Systems), these battle bots are on the leading edge of a new kind of warfare, in which — or so the argument goes —our troops will one day remain hidden (and, presumably, protected) while engaging the enemy by remote control. The Army intends to deploy 18 SWORDS units to Iraq in the spring,marking the first time robots have been used to fight and kill human beings one on one. If, like me, you grew up on science fiction,the idea of robot soldiers strikes a chilling chord. Killer droids, after all, have long been speculative-universe staples, potent symbols of the dangers of technology, of what happens when machines go wrong. In Karel Capek's 1920 play"R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)" — which introduced "robot" to the vernacular — automatons rise up to wipe out the human race. In "Blade Runner," renegade cyborgs stage a bloody mutiny and flee to Earth. Robotic armies rampage by the screen- ful in George Lucas "Star Wars" films. And then,of course,there is the"Ter- minator" series, in which robots d designed to look and smell like people infiltrate human encampments to execute rebel leaders without mercy or remorse. This is the cybernetic future at its most apocalyptic:a world in which our high-tech weapons turn on us,just ...sontethi. is at wort disassoc enough c remove 01 as we always f The fear res SWORDS desij reassure us,as their robots.ar minators, but command of lax targets via vide, tronic OK to st.

I find it disturbing that your paper would print a quote based on the spec- ulation of someone in a position of authority. I question how Chief Croake could determine how the firefighters feel about call firefighters coming to Easthampton? At no time has the chief come forward openly to discuss this matter with his firefighters and the use of words such as"strikebreakers"and"scabs"placed into the mouths of the Easthampton firefighters is unacceptable! If your paper wants to know how the fire- fighters feel about a call force of firefighters, I suggest in the future you use quotes from the firefighters and not the speculation of another. William Trohon Easthampton Vice President Local 1876 International Association of Firefighters Give real support to troops, not lip service To the editor: George Bush mouths words of support for our soldiers,but his admin- istration cuts veteran benefits, leaves military vehicles unarmored,and forces soldiers to stay in Iraq far beyond their original tours of duty ("Extending Service in Iraq", January 22-23). It is time for us, as patriotic Americans, to make sure our troops get real support, because they lay down their lives for us. Real support means a commitment far beyond the display of yellow ribbons. America must: • Restore and expand veteran benefits, especially for wounded veterans and the widows and orphans of soldiers who gave their lives. • Provide our soldiers with proper equipment in the battlefield. • Honor the contracts our loyal return. • Be sure there is a clear exit strategy from Iraq. • Elect officials who can be trusted. • Let the Bush administration know we will no longer tolerate their abuses. It is clear that supporting the troops does not mean supporting George Bush and his hypocritical rhetoric. Dianna Schulte McMenamin South Hadley ay/fis City can't keep up with its current priorities To the editor: The reports of health and safety vio- lations in the Rust Block building in downtown Northampton raise troubling issues. Many of us share the progressive ambitions of Mayor Higgins and other city officials, for such things as a new senior center and parking improve- ments, and some even support tax increases to improve city services. It seems, however, that the city is cur- rently unable to provide basic services that citizens pay dearly for already. People live in unsafe apartments while their landlord ingnores repeated citations for code violations with apparent impunity. The expensive city offices and employees (across the street!) sit on their hands. If the city government can't do what it has undertaken to do already any better than this,perhaps it should take stock before taking on even greater responsibilities.
