Mathieu, R.S.,M.S., C.H.O. )irector of Public Health c: Building Department Fire Department GE 5 (ATTACHMENT) E FOLLOWING IS A BRIEF SUMMARY OF SOME OF THE TENANTS LEGAL REMEDIES. Rent Withholding(General Laws,Chapter 239 Section 8A) "ode Violations Are Not Being Corrected you may be entitled to hold back your rent payments. You can do this without ng evicted if: (A) You can prove that your dwelling unit or common areas contain code violations which are serious enough to endanger or materially impair your health or safety and that your landlord knew about the violations before you were behind in your rent. B) You did not cause the violations and they can be repaired while you continue to live in the building. C) You are prepared to pay any portion of the rent into court if a judge orders you to pay it. (For this it is best to put the rent money aside in a safe place.) Repair and Deduct(General Laws, Chapter 111 section 127L) Le law sometimes allows you to use your rent money to make the repairs yourself. If our local code enforcement agency rtifies that there are code violations which endanger or materially impair your health, safety or well-being and your idlord has received written notice of the violations, you may be able to use this remedy. If the owner fails to begin cessary repairs (or to enter into a written contract to have them made) within five days after notice or to complete repairs [thin 14 days after notice you can use up to four months' rent in any year to make the repairs. Retaliatory Rent Increases or Evictions Prohibited (General Laws, Chapter 186, Section 18 and Chapter 19,Section 2A). he owner may not increase your rent or evict you in retaliation for making a complaint to your local code enforcement ;ency about code violations. If the owner raises your rent or tries to evict within six months after you have made the =plaint he or she will have to show good reason for the increase or eviction, which is unrelated to your complaint. You Lay be able to sue the landlord for damages if he or she tries this. . Rent Receivership(General Laws, Chapter 111,Sections 127C-H). he occupants and/or the board of health may petition the District or Superior Court to allow rent to be paid into court rather tan to the owner. The court may then appoint a"receiver"who may spend as much of the rent money as is needed to correct re violation. The receiver is not subject to a spending limitation of four months' rent. Breach of Warranty of Habitability. (on may be entitled to sue your landlord to have all or some of your rent returned if your dwelling unit does not meet ninimum standards of habitability. Unfair and Deceptive Practices(General Laws,Chapter 93A). Tenting an apartment with code violations is a violation of the consumer protection act and regulations for which mu may sue an owner. THE INFORMATION PRESENTED ABOVE IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF THE LAW. BEFORE POU DECIDE TO WITHHOLD YOUR RENT OR TAKE ANY OTHER LEGAL ACTION. IT IS ADVISABLE THAT YOU CONSULT AN ATTORNEY. IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO CONSULT AN ATTORNEY,YOU SHOULD CONTACT THE NEAREST LEGAL SERVICES OFFICE WHICH IS: WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS LEGAL SERVICES 584-4034 01060 20 HAMPTON AVENUE,SUITE 100,NORTHAMPTON,MA Ol "1 . -i i I �' / rl I � U I 04/13/05 4:03:50 PM CITY OF NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS EFFECTIVE DATE OF VAWB JANUARY 1, 1998 RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY RECORD CARD PARCEL ID: 320-184-001 382 PLEASANT ST PLOT: LIVING UNITS: 3 CLASS: R - 105 CARD #: 1 OF 1 CURRENT OWNER/ADDRESS ZONING: GB NEIGHBORHOOD ID: 16.00 FINAL VALUE FLAG: MARKET GRYGORCEWICZ FELIX J & MELODIE LAND DATA - ASSESSMENT INFORMATION - 12 MANHAN RD YPE SIZE 480 INFLUENCE FACTORS LAND 93,900 PRIOR COST CURRENT SOUTHAMPTON MA 01073 LAND 94,000 94,000 94,000 BLDG 164,700 140,500 174,100 TOTAL 258,700 234,500 268,100 DEED BOOK: 3859 SALES INFORMATION DEED PAGE: 03B TOTAL ACREAGE: 0.080 TOTAL LAND VALUE: 94,000 DEED DATE: DATE TYPE PRICE VALIDITY LAST UPDATE/COST: 20040819 19920101 LAND + BLD 42,500 N LAST UPDATE/COST: 20040819 ADDITION DATA X DATE: Lower Level First Floor Second Floor Third Floor Area DATA COLLECTION INFORMATION OFP ENTRANCE CODE: UNIMPROVED OFP OFP 175 INFORMATION SOURCE: OEP 63 DATA COLLECTOR: MC DATE: 19991027 DWELLING INFORMATION STYLE: CONVENTIONAL YEAR BUILT: 1900 STORY HEIGHT: 2.00 ATTIC: FULL FINISH Basement: FULL TOTAL ROOMS: 13 FULLLBATHS: 3 ADDITIONAL DWELLING INFORMATION 25 9 Half Baths: ADDITIONAL FIXTURES: 7 DFe/OeP 7 ore BASEMENT RIOR WALLS:(#CARS) BRICK TRIM: X EXTERIOR WALLS: STUCCO STONE TRIM: X UNFINISHED AREA: GROUND FLOOR AREA: 1272 REMODELING DATA FA/3.Er/B TOTAL LIVING AREA: 3562 BASEMENT BASEMENT NIAREA AREA: X YEAR REMODELED: BASEMENT RECREATION AREA: X METALAFY EILACESCE STACKS/OPENINGS: / KITCHEN REMOD(Y/N)KIT HEATL FIREPLACES: HEAT/CENTRAL A/C: BASIC BATH REMODEL (V/ ) N HEATING SYSTEM: STEAM FUEL TYPE: GAS QUALITY IEIOEXTERN SAEAGE COND/DESIRABILITY/UTILITY AV INTERIOR/EXTERIOR AVERAGE 31 OUTBUILDINGS & YARD ITEMS PERMIT DATA TYPE QTY YR SIZE1 SIZE2 GRD COND DATE PURPOSE PRICE 38 NOTES: RENO WHOLE HOUSE CHECK FY96 30 28 7 OFP/OFP 9 i (DER TO CORRECT VIOLATIONS OF CHAPTER II OF THE STATE SANITARY CODE IINIMUM STANDARDS OF FITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION AND CHAPTER 111, SECTION 7, ABATEMENT OF NUISANCES OF THE MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL LAWS AT: BOARD OF HEALTH i MEMBERS OFFICE OF THE OSEMARIE KARPARIS,R.N.,MPH BOARD OF HEALTH INTHI SCRIMGEOUR,MHEd,CHES JAY FLEITMAN,M.D. STAFF most J.Mathieu,R.S.,M.S.,C.H.O.
