Dear Ms. Ranney:
Enclosed you will find a report of an electrical inspection performed at the premises we
rent from you.This report. and the accompanying photos, show quite clearly that we continue to
pay for electrical services to items which are not legally chargeable to us. including the
refrigerator downstairs, the smoke detector in the common hallway which your other tenants had
been using to access the washer and dryer in our basement (which was also being charged to our
electrical system), the outdoor floodlight which illuminates the parking area for all tenants, and
the hallway lights in the common hallway where you continue to maintain a mailbox.
Given your earlier assertion that "nobody uses"the washer and dryer(which had been on
and running almost constantly through our tenancy in 2000), your similar denials regarding the
basement refrigerator are quite unbelievable. Others in the complex do indeed have access to
(what is supposed to be) our basement, contrary to the false information which you provided to
the City.
We received your letter several weeks ago which appears to be a threat to attempt to
begin an eviction proceeding against us. Is that what you meant in that letter? It was not very
clear.
One final note - the "space heater" identified by your master electrician is, in fact. an
ELECTRIC FAN. There are no space heaters upon our premises. and there were none there at
the time your "electrician" conducted his "inspection". I suppose that his mistaking a fan for a
space heater does kind of explain how he could reach some of the other preposterous conclusions
which he saw fit to include in his report.
Cordially,
close e5

January 24. 2001
Report concerning power problems: Circuit in bathroom tripping and loss of lighting and
general branch power when the breaker trips.
Findings:
A. Circuit 1 supplies the furnace supplying heat to apartment as marked.
B. Circuit 2 Supplies 2 circuits,with both wires illegally under the same terminal.
One power leg feeds SMOKE detectors for the common hall areas,NOT the
apartment in question. The other power leg feeds Cellar lighting used to light
areas not used by the Winneman residence.
C. Circuit 3 and 4 feed a 40-amp range receptacle to the Winneman residence.
D. Circuit 5 feeds the WASHING MACHINE, OVERHEAD LIGHT AT THE
WASHER, AND A CORD THAT FEEDS A REFRIDGERATOR all not used by
the Winneman residence.
E. Circuit 6 feeds the majority of all lighting and outlets receptacles through out the
apartment. Including entry lighting at the stairs up to the door at the top. AND the
receptacles in the BATHROOM. There is no dedicated receptacle circuit in the
bathroom, as Mr. Winneman was told. This circuit registered on a 15-ampere
circuit breaker 13.2 amps with just the computers, general lighting on throughout,
and a stereo system. This is actually more then the maximum allowed current for
a I5-amp circuit if used over 3 hours. When the hairdryer was turned on we
registered 25 amps of current being drawn!!!! AND of course after approximately
after 30 seconds the breaker while buzzing frantically, finally tripped and opened
the circuit, disconnecting all power to the majority of the apartment.
F. Circuit 7 feeds outdoor lighting used for all tenants, and was found to be feeding
off of boxes tapped in the cellar space and obviously going outside through the
sills to flood lighting.
G. Circuit 8 feeds all the lighting and counter receptacles, and the refrigerator in the
kitchen of the Winneman residence.
H. Circuits 9 and 10 feed an ELECTRIC CLOTHES DRYER, not used by the
Winneman residence.

Please note photographs of at the described items are supplied .
In my professional opinion, some one that did not understand that they were illegally
tapping someone's power to supply loads not used by the residence at#52 Williams did
the work performed to feed most of the circuits and appliances. Maybe the residence was
occupied by the owners?
Citing The State Sanitary Code Chapter II, "105 CMR 410.000
Subsection 410.354 this is all in direct violation of current codes applicable to private
residential tenants who pay and maintain their own electrical service charges on a regular
basis.
It would be very hard to predict how much over an extended period of time Mr.
Winneman has paid for usage of power supplied to him directly and tapped from his
panel unknown to him We would be able to calculate estimated kilowatt-hours used if
needed by doing some calculations based on current draw of loads on the breakers using
an ammeter, and then performing some calculations using simple formulas.

cleared of snow and/or ice buildup.
You are hereby ordered to maintain all
egresses in a safe operable

Dear Jeannie:
I nn 1- I2) 7-41. ]0777
We have written you twice, in August and September,with requests for several repairs to
the property at 54 Williams Street,Northampton MA. Although you did repair the light
in the bathroom,you made insufficient repairs to the leaky sink(as it is still leaking)and
have not addressed the problems with the front steps and the ceiling fan in the kitchen. If
we had not had someone house-sitting while we were gone during the summer months,in
order to empty the bucket under the leaking sink,the bathroom floor may have caved in;
especially-since the floor has considerable wood rot and currently leaks into the basement.
In addition to the above mentioned items,which we have previously written to you about,
the ceiling in both of the bedrooms is coming apart and warping. An entire piece of
structural metal fell on our bed. If we had been sleeping at the time this may have caused
an injury.
You have not made contact with us since our last letter,and we think that your lack of
action is unacceptable. Due to your inability to uphold your responsibilities as landlord
we are withholding rent per Massachusetts state law. At the point in which you have
made all repairs and have brought the apartment to acceptable state law standards we
will begin paying rent.
We believe that we have been more than fair and patient since we became tenants in June
2006. From the beginning of our lease agreement we have had to ask and remind you
several times to have any repairs or minor items attended to.
As a reminder you must give us twenty-four hours notice before sending someone to
make repairs.
Sincerely,
Thomas Vierra

RE: Swimming Pools
Dear Ms. Emerson,
As a result of multiple complaints, a request from the building department, and findings from
a routine Inspection that was performed on October 8, 2008, the Northampton Board of
Health conducted a re-inspection on October 16, 2008, at the property listed above, for
