REPORT: James Diozzi, Gas Inspector
To: Robert Nicetta, Building Commissioner
From: James Diozzi, Gas Inspector
Re: 579 Massachusetts Ave.
On October 3, 1997 at 9:00 A.M., I was notified by Bay State Gas of a carbon monoxide
incident at 579 Massachusetts Ave., North Andover,which occurred the night before. I notified
Mr. Nicetta that I was meeting the Gas Co. and the plumbing contractor on the job. Upon my
inspection of the boiler room, I found a new power venter and a direct vent water heater installed
improperly and without the proper permits.
The Gas Co. representative and myself met and spoke with the home owner, General
Contractor, and Plumbing Contractor on the site and informed them of the condition of the old
boiler and circumstances regarding installing the system properly. We suggested that they
consider installing a completely new system and correct the violation on the water heater.
At 6:00 P.M. that evening, I received a call from the Plumbing Contractor informing me
that he installed a new boiler and wanted to move the people back into the home. I told him that
I could not let them back in until the new system is started up, inspected and meets the approval
of the Board of Health Administrator, Sandra Starr. I reached Sandra Starr at home and we set
up a meeting for Saturday, October 4, 1997, at 8:00 A.M. with the Gas Co. and the North
Andover Fire Department. The new system was inspected and passed. We allowed the house
to be occupied.
Further investigation is on going, if you have any question regarding this incident please
do not hesitate to call me.
