Anderson, Robin From: Gallant, Therese Sent: Monday, August 27, 2018 10:19 AM To: Anderson, Robin Subject: 73 Walton Avenue Hi Robin, As we discussed, Lt. Murphy advised me of potential issue at 73 Walton Avenue, Hyannis. He stated that the landlord, Douglas Richards, lives at this residence and is renting bedrooms as apartments. He reported that he is also renting out couches for people to sleep on. I've done a little bit of research on this to start and noted a call to that residence on 8/17/18 wherein the Barnstable Police Dept.was called there to "help keep the peace between landlord and tenant" referencing another call where two women were served with a trespass notice by a Deputy Sheriff. Additionally,there was another call to this address on 8/23/18 for a "disturbance among tenants of the house." Thank you in advance! r F Therese Therese M.

Many homeowners who use this exemption are unaware that they are assuming the responsibilities of a supervisor(see Appendix Q, Rules&Regulations for Licensing Construction Supervisors,Section 2.15) This la&of awareness often results in serious problems,particularly when the homeowner hires unlicensed persons. in this case,our Board cannot proceed against the unlicensed person as it would with a licensed Supervisor. The homeowner acting as Supervisor is ultimately responsible. To ensure that the homeowner is fury aware of his/her responsibilities,many communities require,as part of the permit application, that the homeowner certify that he/she understands the responsibilities of a Supervisor.
