Dear Mr. and Mrs. Fatalo,
William J. Scott
Director
(978) 688-9531
Building This correspondence comes in response to an inspection conducted at your property
Department known as 77 Edgelawn Ave, No. Andover. Per your request, Health Department personnel
(978) 688-9545 sent to your condominium on August 10, 2000 to observe water damage to your lower lever
unit.

Upon entering the unit I observed the water damaged areas in all of the front rooms.
You explained. to me that during a prolonged rain event in April of 2000 the sump pump did
not function as needed and water entered your unit. The areas mostly affected were along the
wall to approximately three feet extending into each of the rooms. The rug was pulled back
and the damaged sections of the pads were cut out. I personally did not detect any off odors in
the unit.
The sump pump, which is located in the common hallway, was behind locked doors
Public Health and I could not observe it functioning, however you indicated that the damaged unit has since
Nurse been replaced. I was not able to confirm or deny the repair or replacement. It was clear,
(978) 688-9543 however, that water had infiltrated into your unit and had caused damage to the rugs and pads
and that the water came from the common area which is under the control of the Diversified
Planning Funding and their maintenance crew.
Department You also stated that your son's health has not been good lately. If indeed your son's
(978) 688-9535 asthma is aggravated by the environmental condition of your home and the source can be
identified as the old rugs, I greatly suggest the replacement of any rugs that may be found
contaminated. However, as you are the homeowner, I will not issue an Order Letter to this
effect: It is merely a recommendation to protect your own family. Your doctor may also have
additional recommendations to improve the environmental conditions of your home.
As a follow-up to the inspection I spoke with the property manager, Lisa Allis. She
indicated, as you also had, that this matter was in the hands of the insurance company and it
appeared.to be moving in a positive direction. I wish you luck in bringing this matter to a
close. If this office can be of any future assistance please do not hesitate to contact ds.
