Most of the repairs have been made. The landlord has made attempts to repair the remaining violations; however it has been reported to us that the tenants have not been cooperative with the contractors. Below is detailed information in this regard: - January 5, 2004-Attorney Joseph Maruca wrote a letter to the tenants indicating that Richard Rakauskas, a contractor was at the house that morning to replace the bathroom ceiling, to fix a hole in the dining room ceiling, and to fix stains and cracks in the main level ceilings. A tenant named, Rachel,told him to stop and leave.The letter further reads: "Please call Mr. Rakauskas at 508 737-4854 and reschedule the work.

An appointment was made for 4:30 p.m. on Friday January 91h. Mr. Linnell arrived to do the work and there was nobody to let him in. January 20, 2004- On January 20th, a contractor named David Linnell came into the Health Division Office and verbally reported to me that he attempted to make appointments to return to the house to make repairs on two separate occasions. The tenants were uncooperative with him; they did not keep the appointments made. Mr. Linnell stated he will prepare a written statement to that effect for our file. January 20, 2004-The Health Division received a copy of a letter from the landlord's attorney, Joseph Maruca dated January 16th addressed to the tenants which reads as follows: David Linnell, the contractor hired by your landlord to complete the repairs at your property, reports that you called him and told him not to get involved in this situation, you discourage him from working at the premises, and were rude to him." The further indicates that a plumber was being contacted to repair the frozen pipe in the first floor bathroom. The letter further reads: "Please cooperate with the plumber by being there when he arrives, not interfering with his work, and try not to be rude."

J sep, aV..` Maraca JV :"•Y <a�SC:`•... : cc: Yolima Vasquez Asbestos Hazards Microscopic asbestos fibers from friable (loose or crumbling) asbestos can be suspended in air and inhaled. Once inhaled, fibers remain in lungs, causing lung cancer. • Asbestos may be found in pipe insulation and insulating boards, textured wall surfaces, electrical equipment, floor and roofing tiles and certain adhesives. Handling . If asbestos is in good condition, and fibers are not exposed, it does not need to be removed. • Slightly damaged or Loose asbestos can be re- wrapped rather than removed. • Asbestos should be handled by a certified asbestos abatement contractor (call Massachusetts Department of Labor and Workforce Development at 800-425- 0004 for list of licensed abatement contractors). • DEP requires notification at least 10 business days prior to any asbestos removal activities. Call 617-292- 5983 for more information. • All asbestos containing materials must be containerized, labeled and removed in accordance with DEP regulations (see 310 CMR 7.15). Asbestos must be adequately wetted so that fibers will not be released, and sealed in leak-tight, properly labeled containers. If bags are used, they should be thick plastic (6 mil) and double bagged. The same handling procedures are required for contaminated clothes and equipment. Container must then be labeled with an OSHA approved asbestos warning label. • Do not dust, sweep or vacuum particles suspected of containing asbestos. Management • All asbestos materials must be disposed of in landfills Options permitted to receive asbestos. Currently there is only one such permitted landfill in Massachusetts: _Chicopee Landfill (formerly Partyka) 413-594-4172. • Asbestos-containing asphalt roofing materials and vinyl asbestos floor tiles that are not broken and are removed in accordance with DEP regulations can be disposed of in designated solid waste landfills. Asbestos containing materials should never be disposed of in a combustion facility or compacted because fibers may be released to the surrounding area. • For more information, call DEP Boston at 617-292- 5983 or the regional asbestos experts: o Northeast: John MacAuley 978-661-7654 o Southeast: Joe Leary 508-946-2931 o Central: Gregg Levins 508-767-2768 o Western: Bob Shultz: 413-755-2210 SYKES AND DOLE ATTORNEYS AT LAW 420 SOUTH STREET POST OFFICE BOX 1358 Lr HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS 02G01 DAVID BRUCE COLE TELEPHONE (508) 775-9147 PETER M.
