Home My WebLink AboutSeptic - Correspondence - 125 BOSTON STREET 11/23/2021 Dear Steve, I hired Northeast Classic Engineering on 9/22/20 to install a septic system at 125 Boston St.Things did not go smooth through the project. When the tank was installed,Jim wanted his second payment.At that time, he informed me that there was$10,100.00 in extras,which I strongly disagreed with. He pulled off the job without the leach field being connected. He said he would not come back until I paid the extra money.About a week later there was a sewerage smell in the back yard. I called Dan Giard, and he came out that afternoon and pumped the tank. He said it was full and couldn't believe the sewage didn't come into the house. Being held hostage by Jim, I paid$5,000.00 in extras with the agreement the job would be completed with no additional costs. The work on site was completed as far as I could tell. I called Amy Maxner to see if there was anything else that was needed.She told me as built plans and inspection reports needed to be submitted. I contacted Jim and he said it was not his job to submit plans. He needed to put a final invoice together and I had to pay that before he would give me the plans, and I would have to submit them. When the invoice came,there was a final payment due as per contract, but again there were extra charges.We agreed to meet at the town hall on 10/7/21 to square this away. He was late, so I went in and talked with board of health. I can't remember her name, but she was very helpful and pulled out a form that Jim needed to complete and sign. When Jim arrived, he would not come in, and texted me to meet outside. I had a check ready for him for the final payment per contract plus recording fees, construction permit fee, and abutters notification cost. He would not accept the check. He wanted an additional $1,650.00 to release the plans to me. I wouldn't pay the additional money,so he left with the plans and said he would put a lien on the house. I have contract, invoices, and emails if needed. Sorry for the length of this but wanted you to get a picture of what's been going on.

I noted 6 or more inches of stone in the hole where the tank is to be placed (as the hole was oversized slightly). As the licensed installer(and designer/engineer)you must be onsite for the construction of this system. Please ensure you are present for the bottom of the bed, and have verified it is to plan before I come out for that inspection. If you have any questions, please let me know.
