I observed a number of code violations and have posted units 302 and 303 as unsafe to occupy in accordance with the Massachusetts State Building ;ode, Ch. 1 s. 116 and Ch. 34, s. 102.2.2.2. -here are a number of conditions that make units 302 and 303 unsafe to occupy: o Neither unit has working smoke or carbon monoxide detectors. o Some portions of the sleeping rooms and hallways in both units are obstructed and do not meet building code requirements for safe means of egress o Both units have violations of the electrical code, including open boxes, exposed wiring, unapproved fixtures, overloaded circuits and extension cords used as permanent wiring. In addition to the immediate threats to life safety that I have detailed above, a number of other code violations exist: o Unit 303 does not appear to have two independent means of egress and one of the bedrooms does not have an emergency escape and rescue opening as required by the building code. o The ceiling in the bathroom of unit 303 has fallen and the roof deck boards are rotted because the roof is leaking. The roof needs to be assessed and repairs made as necessary. o The emergency lights in the stairway are not working. o A number of items are stored in the electrical room on the second floor. o It appears that the rooms in unit 302 and one of the rooms in unit 303 are being operated as a lodging house as defined by GL CH. 140 s. 22. o Unit 302 does not have a working kitchen as required by the plumbing code. o The building has not been inspected and does not have a certificate of occupancy as required by building code 01. 1, s. 110 and 111. o A number of less serious electrical code violations also exist, including unsupported and unprotected wiring, improperly installed low voltage wiring and an insufficient number of receptacles to serve the living spaces. Once the unsafe conditions are corrected, I will allow temporary occupancy of units 302 and . The remaining code violations will need to be corrected as soon as is reasonably possible. I will Jire that there be a plan in place within two weeks to address the remaining issues, and that the k needed to correct the violations be completed in a timely manner. The Northampton Fire ,artment will also likely require that the building fire alarm system be extended to include heat ector and notification devices in each of the residential units. The Board of Health will contact you next week with the results of their inspection. Feel free to call if you have any questions.
