Henceforth all communications regarding this matter should be directed to me.

I agreed that chimney work would not be stopped but that the contractor doing the work contact this office with regards to the work to be performed. This was not done no contractor has contacted this office for that work. 2 . You stated that your clients, "have initiated all appropriate steps towards obtaining the necessary building permits to complete all desired finish work on the house". Our office has been only contacted by electrican's, no contractor has contacted us for a building permit for work performed or to finish work. The only request was by Ms. Paulinski for an application for a permit to install windows on porch, nothing has been done for securing a building permit for the work performed on second floor, specifically subdividing room into smaller rooms and installation of exterior door. 3 . I will not seek an injunction to close the house as long as steps are taken to secure the proper building and electrical permits. The process for obtaining those permits starts in this office with the contractors filling out the proper applications. 4. The scheduling of inspections are to be made by the contractor who secures the permit and our office. The contractor in turn can work with you and your client to insure that the property will be open for inspections. I thank you for helping to resolve these issues. If you have any questions please feel free to call. Anthony Patillo Building Commissioner City of Northampton CC: J Sheppard a September 7 , 1996 RE: Stop Work Issued 142 North Street, Northampton The work that is being done is putting your tenants at risk. The law requires licensed contractors taking permits and having the work properly inspected. You not only put the tenants lives at risk but also the lives of firefighters that would be called to the scene in the event of a fire. Building permits are required for the work done. Electrical permits are required for all of the wiring that was done. We have tried to contact you, all that we have is a PO Box # in Boston, and people on your property who will not identify themselves or tell us who performed the work so that permits and inspections can be made. They also refused to give us a phone number so that I could speak directly with you, I did leave my card and asked that you get in touch with me immediately; as of this date I have received not a call from either of you. I have tried to work with Peter (if that is his name) and have been stalled and called a fascist pig for doing my job to try to protect the public safety. You must have a licensed person complete a building permit application and have a licensed person complete an electrical permit application for all of the work that was done. You have seven days (7) from the receipt of this letter in which to comply; as there are fire safety issues I am hesitant to let this issue delay any longer. If after 7 days I do not hear from the appropriate contractors securing the permits to allow the work to be inspected properly I will seek an injunction to close the house and bring the matter to court. The actions by you have not been lawful and I will pursue the appropriate legal channels to protect public safety.

The work requires Building permits and electrical permits. Those permits should be taken out by licensed contractors. The inspection that was performed under the search warrant on September 4 showed that there has been extensive work performed on your property. I took photos on that day of the work that has been done. When I arrived on your property on September 4, I identified myself as the Building Inspector for the City of Northampton. I was admitted to the front hall by one of your tenants where I waited for the "Building Manager" to come downstairs. While waiting in the front foyer I observed that the egress was blocked by building materials, joint compound buckets, plywood, sheetrock, taping materials. When the Building Manager came downstairs I identified myself and I told him that I had received a complaint from the Board of Health about unsafe conditions, blocked egress and construction debris. I told the building manager that I checked our files and found that no permits for building, electrical, or plumbing had been taken out and I asked to see the work that had been performed. The Building Manager told me "no" and then asked if I had a warrant. I told him I did not and asked for his name, he refused to give me that. I posted a stop work on your property and then took appropriate actions to secure a search warrant. I came back with a search warrant at approximately 6 PM with an officer from the Northampton Police and searched your property. The Police Officer was very professional and asked for ID. The search of the property showed that there has been extensive work done to your property especially on the second floor, where you have subdivided rooms into smaller rooms. I asked for the names of the contractors who performed the work, the only name that I was given was Sue Brown an electrical contractor who the Building Manager told me had done all the electrical work. I left the property and the following morning I contacted Susan Brown who informed me that she had done some work there but that there was work already done when she started. I went back to your property on September 5 to try to find out who had performed the rest of the work. I again was refused entry. m a� t a� ui U a ¢u'0 (L cr boo O v] O aoo `6 4-J � o ww N � -gyp S4-J-I [ 1�4J � m O HUB O z 4 E w •4 ¢' c ro E a � D . i —I O � UAUNz W C C.) ` > d W � N J N Q N F d N c O y a � m W W 1� 2 Q w y O G W H Z Is your RETURN ADDR S completed o the reverse side?®§ } ` U1 w (,\(»§Tnnm } } \ \/ }}+�a ,�=/ ' E [In O rt 50 M % § x9C / w > -F //�� " /'c / E k32 \ / \1 k � { CO ƒ m [ i{/ }\ /o % \([ i� } }`� \ l S a § \ | | _ & i \ - } ! \f ƒ 1 § 22 \ \ M. } o - § J } E ( . ) � E( ƒ § } t � CL \ { �2# .SSOFr �� | } � � CL 7 \ \\� � � ' \Z, } a \ 2® a s FD. 81 0 7 - \ «�� §\/ zz ¥ M «f := OD 3 } q ~\ E>~ ` � C7 (/ S O � E } ■ S S O R a I ƒ m k } M ƒC § ( ) 0 \ / �CO : c 3 a ( 0 - , , _, § / § CO/ _ o } %f f M { } m / . / \ \ \ \ 2 } Thank you for using Return Receipt Service. { m to m @ M ID i7, 0 0 m 11 '2 75 it c. m m o Z; 3 PS,Fenn 3800, April 1995 Revetse,) r° U) WYlalt wlsOd W C sa l 8 a6e v,� VIM co PV S� 8`alto D ;Kea 8 wo4m o yg id!abad wnlad cO cn aau tiangag papulsad aau luanpad!eroad aau pal 1 $ 96elsod .
