RE: Repairs made at 94 Main Street,Unit 1
Dear Property Management Group,
Over the past months I have frequently engaged you both in order to make repairs to a rental unit
that were supposed to be completed no later than mi&September of 2022. To this date,the
violations cited in an'Order to Correct dated August 25,2022 remain unresolved at this time. In
regards to the ceiling repairs,which I ordered you to correct on January 10,2023, I am aware
these were finally completed this weekend. In emails sent to both of you and phone
conversations with both Dean and Eric of Four Points Property Management I specified that,per
the housing code,the tenant needed to be given proper notice for repairs.and-that all debris, dust
and construction materials used or created during repairs needed to be remediated.
Despite all this,I received a call frorn the tenant yesterday that there was dust and debris from
the repairs scattered throughout the unit. Upon a brief inspection yesterday to confirm.this, I
noted broken and damaged ceiling tiles, debris from the ceiling on and behind Runiture,and dust
in the same areas as well as all over the walls and other furniture from construction: I've attached
pictures to this email. By creating and leaving dust, construction debris and pieces of the old
ceiling lying about, especially in a unit where young children reside, you have created a public
health'nuisance. In accordance with Massachusetts General Law Chapter 111, Section 122,
you are hereby ordered to abate the nuisance by no later than February 2°d,.2023. Failure
to address the issues you created will result in:fines of up to$1,000 per day,with each day
constituting a new violation, being issued.
Because your team has consistently shown the inability to clean up after the repairs your staff has
made,you must hire a professional cleaning company to come out to the home by Friday,
February 3,2023, to service the living room area. They must clean the area to remove all dust,
debris,and construction materials left by your staff on top of and behind furniture,the walls,
rugs and wherever else present.
Sincerely,
Stephen asey Jr.
