This letter will certify that the inspections revealed violations listed below, which are serious enough as to endanger or materially impair the health, safety, and well-being of the occupants &or abutters. Under authority of Chapter III, Section 127 of the Massachusetts General Laws, and Chapter II of the State Sanitary Code, you are hereby ordered to make a good faith effort to correct the following violations within ONE WEEK of the receipt of this order. ;ULATION 602(B) & pter 111, tion 122 VIOLATION Obnoxious odor permeates the apartment and emanates out into the third floor common hallway at times. This condition is affecting other occupants of the building. Odor stems from your apartment and is most likely a direct result of the keeping of several cats within the apartment unit. REMEDY As occupant,take whatever action is necessary to eliminate this odor problem in a permanent, lasting manner. *SEE NOTE BELOW Initial inspection of premises was made on April 4, 1996 at approximately 1:00 p.m. A followup inspection was made on July 1, 1996 at approximately 2:15 p.m. *NOTE: After the initial inspection of your apartment on April 4, 1996 you agreed to cooperate with Northriver Real Estate Management with regard to alleviating the odor problems from within your apartment which were obvious at the time of inspction. However, to date, the odor problem still- exists. At best, any attempts to deodorize the premises would seem to be a "short term" (less than 24 hours) masking of the existing condition. Therefore, to avoid any further legal action to get this problem abated, immediately take corrective action on your own or in cooperation with management to eliminate this odor problem in a permanent fashion If you have any questions regarding this abatement order contact the Board of Health office.
