49 #705 Complaint 2011 d Smith om: Ed Smith Dnt: Monday, September 26, 2011 12:32 PM y, 'Housing Authority Ben Wood Abject: Query from a MacDonald House resident ttachments: pictures from balcony 705 604 &704.jpg; pictures from balcony 705 704.jpg; pictures from balcony 705#604.jpg Jon— Us question that came to us sounded like something I should write to you about and get the backstory. A tenant has Iked with you in the past about some of his neighbors,and was explicit in saying that he feels you do the best job iyone could considering the problems presented and the community that you deal with. He is concerned with the mdition of#604's(Doris Pennington's) balcony—I can attach some pictures—black plastic trash bags, plastic furniture ierturned and covered with clothing, blankets, a turned over trash can, etc. He thinks there are squirrels nesting out sere, or possibly it's a cat or cats from the apartment moving around under the debris. Ben said to ask if Doris is sober present?, if so we can directly talk to her. If not,then I suppose we will be talking to her anyway, probably soon. I'm Ping to ask fire inspector Larry Therrien if there is a fire safety egress question as well—does the balcony constitute tress that has to stay accessible for emergency exit? to balcony over Doris' has automotive fluids stored in a cardboard box, soaked in oil etc.—it looks like it may be leaking awn onto the balcony concrete which I believe could degrade the concrete. I'll ask Larry about storing these things on ie balcony as well. lease let me know if Doris is approachable at present Of you want to talk to her about the balcony that's great)— tanks, Ed imund Smith ealth Inspector oard of Health ity of Northampton 12 Main Street, Northampton MA 01060 113)587-1339; Fax: (413)587-1221 smith @northampto nma.gov \ ' 2 ` , A t « \» ® ° \ ® . . : / 11! < \ \ I - : ! , f » \ \ * f < ,a . y � ' � ; : < < \ \ . \ y . . . . . : . . \ \ � , : ,1 in 11 1' I 'I1 11' ( I ,Ill frl Itl-li'yh4 �L.
