Hello,
My name is Warren Crossfield and I have lived here in North Andover for at
least the past 25 years. I purchased a multifamily home at 95 Union Street in
late 1999 and moved in early 2000 after renovations. I have been living on
the 1st floor there since and for as long as I can remember, we've had flocks
of pigeons orbiting and congregating on my roof and those of my neighbors.
For the first year or two, I thought they were feral and they caused
extensive damages to my old roof causing me to replace the roof in the winter
of 2005. Not to mention the mess they leave, the piles of feathers and/or the
excrement I have to pressure wash off the sidewalk each week during the
summer months. A nuisance that has cost me thousands in repairs, equipment
and lost income from tenants who moved out over disgust from the mess they
cause. A recent tenant was a veterinarian at Bulger and warned me of the
problems associated with keeping pigeons..just before she left out of disgust
for the mess.
We know where they are kept and where they are bred, fed and housed..but
have received no action from police, animal control or otherwise because we
understand that the owner of the birds was a former Fire Chief in town and
may have connections that allow him to escape our town bylaws and
health/safety concerns.
I am now looking at another repair of what was supposed to be a lifetime
warranty on the shingles of my roof from 2005. 1 am prepared to pursue legal
action if I must. I would prefer the owner of the birds be given a
sufficiently long period of time to move the birds elsewhere if they intend
to keep them. I know from speaking to the town Animal Control Officer (Marie
Petto) that once these birds become acclimated to a "home", they will often
return there unless given sufficient training and time to settle in a new
home. Could you please advise me on how to prepare a formal complaint against
the keeping of these birds.
Kindest regards,
Warren Crossfield
95 Union Street
