Re: 88-90 Saunders Street (Assessors Map 040.0, Block 0007, Lot 0000.0)
Dear Mr. Moses,
An inspection conducted on February 28, 2013 of 88- 90 Saunders Street, North Andover,
Massachusetts with Police Department Lt. Charles Gray and Fire Chief Andrew Melnikas revealed an
unsafe structure, evidence of drug use, abandoned and uninhabitable and open to the weather. Found in
both units was human excrement and used syringes. The condition of the interior living area would be
indicative of a transient element residing within.
A notice will be affixed on the exterior walls pursuant to CMR 5121 established by M.G.L.c. 143,
6,7,8,9 and 10 , deeming the structure to be unsafe and uninhabitable.
According to 2009 IBC Section R 111.3 Authority to disconnect service utilities, the Building
Official shall have the authority to authorize the disconnection of utility service to the building, structure
or system regulated by this code and the referenced codes and standards set forth in Section R102.4 in
case of emergency where necessary to eliminate an immediate hazard to life or property, since the
property poses an inherent danger the utilities have been disconnected.
Sincerely yours,
Gerald Brown
Inspector of Buildings

Dear Mr. Moses
Property Location:
88-90 Saunders Street
North Andover, MA 01845
According to our records, you are the owner of property located at the above address. This
property has been found in violation of 105 CMR 410.602 MAINTENANCE OF AREAS FREE
FROM GARBAGE AND RUBBISH. According to regulation 410.602 (A) of the State Sanitary
Code, Chapter II;
"The owner of any parcel of land, vacant or otherwise, shall be responsible for
maintaining such parcel of land in a clean and sanitary condition and free from garbage, rubbish
or other refuse. The owner of such parcel of land shall correct any condition caused by or on
such parcel or its appurtenance which affect the health or safety and well-being of the occupants
of any dwelling or of the general public."
In addition to the exterior of the property, the interior of this unoccupied building is in an
unsanitary and unsafe condition. There are numerous violations to 105 CMR 410.602A, .500,
.503, .551. The condition was so severe that the Inspector of Buildings, along with the North
Andover Fire Department, determined it was necessary to board up the property to protect the
public. Town officials reported general filth and piles of trash throughout; including hypodermic
needles. The premise was vacant and there were broken windows that allowed illegal entry by
persons using the location for drug activity and shelter. The openings also allowed entry of
animals and pests. Premise had strong odor of cat urine and fecal matter.
You are hereby notified to clean the above-mentioned property within Forty Eight hours
(48) of receipt of this notice or submit proof of the engagement of a licensed contractor to correct
violations to the Sanitary Code; along with a list of action items and a timeline for corrections
not to exceed 30 days. This premise shall remain unoccupied until such time that the North
Andover Board of Health, along with the Building Department and Police Department have
inspected and provided a written approval to occupy.
