Patillo Northampton, Mass. 01060 March 7, 1995 Alan Epstein & Robert Margolis 1686 Riverdale Street Springfield, MA RE: 8 Villone Drive Dear Sirs, The property located at 8 Villone Drive experienced a electrical fire on February 27, 1995. The electrician that you hired separated the fire damaged wire and repaired the damage. This work was inspected by our electrical inspector and approved, however, there continues to be a problem with the empty apartments in the basement. On May 28, 1993 there was a meeting in our office attended by Mr. Epstein, Mr. Margolis and the Building Commissioner for the City Frank X. Sienkiewicz. At this meeting the violations at 8 Villone Drive and how they could be corrected were discussed. Frank Sienkiewicz stated in the meeting that the apartments must be made legal or vacated and the electric & plumbing removed and the area made safe. The apartments were vacated within thirty (30) days. The apartments in the basement were constructed with no building per- mit or inspections, the wiring was done with no permit or inspections the plumbing was also done with no permit or inspections. The fire on Feb. 27 1995 illustrates the danger of construction being done without proper per- mits or inspections. The electric service in the downstairs apartments must be removed and separated from the 1st floor apartments and all plumb- ing and gas in the downstairs apartments removed and sealed air tight.
