Dear Mrs. Doyle:
Please be aware that upon an inspection requested by the North Andover Police Department and
conducted on July 22, 2002 with the North Andover Police,Fire and Health Departments the
following is a list of violations observed on that day. Please be aware that there are several
violations that are very serious and could cause serious injury to anybody entering the property.
The most critical violation observed is the storage of several gallons of gas in an open bucket with
a piece of cardboard covering it!
Another violation observed was a violation of the Town of North Andover Zoning Ordinance and
the operation of an auto repair shop in a residential area and the storage of bulk material related
to the same use as well as unregistered motor vehicles. Please be aware that this activity is
prohibited in a residential area and that the Zoning Ordinance Section 10:13, states, "Whoever
continues to violate the provisions of this bylaw after written notice from the Budding
Inspector demanding an abatement of a zoning violation within a reasonable time, shall be
subject to a fine of three hundred dollars ($300).Each day that such violation continues
shall be considered a separate offense. (1986/15)."Another violation is the maintenance of
buildings and structures which comes from the state building code(780 CAM) section 103
(103.1)which states"All building's and structures and all parts thereof, both existing and new
and all systems and equipment therein which are regulated by 780 CMR(Commonwealth of Mass
Regulations) shall be maintained in a safe, operable and sanitary condition. All service equipment,
means of egress, devices and safeguards which are required by 780 CMR in a building or
structure, or which were required by a previous statue in a building or structure when erected,
altered or repaired shall be maintained in good working order. The condition of the garage and
rear exit as well as the rear attached shed and-rear detached shed are all in violation of the above
noted building code and must be corrected.
Section 118 of the State building code(Violations) 118.2 "Notice of Violation: The building
Official shall serve a notice of violation or order on the person responsible for the erection,
construction, alteration, extension, repair, removal, demolition or occupancy of a building or
structure in violation of the provisions of 780 CMR, or in violation of a detail statement or a plan
approved there under, or in violation of a permit or certificate issued under the provision of 780 j
CMR. Such order shall be in writing and shall direct the discontinuance of the illegal action or
condition and the abatement of the violation."
Section 118.4 Violation Penalties"Whoever violates any provisions of 780 CMR, except any
specialized code referenced herein, shall be punishable by a fine of not more than $1000. ( one
thousand)dollars or by imprisonment for not more than 1 (one)year, or both for each violation.
Each day during which a violation exists shall constitute a separate offense. The building official
shall not begin criminal prosecution for such violations until the (thirty)lapse of 30 t '
days after the
P

issuance s ance of the written notice of violation.
