RE: Kollmorgen Building at 168 Industrial Drive, Northampton
Dear Mr. Patillo:
I am representing the contract purchasers of the above referenced property. In my
review of the file at your office I noticed that the original building permit (#439)
was issued on September 6, 1978 to Aquadro & Cerruti, Inc. However, the file
did not contain any Certificate of Occupancy incident to this permit. Linda's
review of the card file also did not indicate the issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy.
Please advise what steps need to be taken in order for the Certificate of Occupancy
to be issued. Time is of extreme importance in our transaction.
For your information, a building permit was issued as well as a Certificate of
Occupancy for the 1981 addition, which work was performed by Fontaine
Brothers.
The last item involves the issuance of a Building Permit (#1148) issued on
December 10, 1997 to J. D. Rivet & Co., Inc. for installation of a new roof. No
Certificate of Occupancy or other approval by your department is indicated in the
file. Shouldn't there be an inspection and a appropriate Certificate of Occupancy
issued in regard to this work as well?

I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience in regard to these
issues. By copy of this letter to Kollmorgen Corporation, I am asking them to also
address these issues.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Very truly yours,
Robert A. Corash
