VIOLATION NOTICE
May 7,2019
Ms. Katherine D.Douglas
46 Camp Street
West Yarmouth,MA 02673
Location of Violation: 46 Camp Street West Yarmouth
Violation Date: December 28,2016
Violations:
1. Failure to obtain a Building Permit to create and occupy rooms in the basement.
Re: 780CMR,Chapter 1,Section R105.2—Required Permits
2. Failure to possess a Certificate of Occupancy for the occupied rooms in the basement.
Re: 780CMR,Chapter 1,Section R111.1—Use and Occupancy.
The historical facts of this matter are contained in the attached May 1,2019 Summary Memo prepared by me and
filed with Building Commissioner Mark Grylls. A Building Permit application was submitted on January 14,2019.
However,upon review on the same day, it was determined that the application was incomplete. There were six
outstanding items:
1. Workers' Comp. Form was not completed.
2. The Estimated Cost of the Work was not noted on the application.
3. A new interconnected Smoke Detector at the bottom of the garage stairs(enclosed area)is required and not
noted on the plan as I had discussed with you and Ms. Sylvester.
4. The Health Dept.plan review was not included.
5. The verbally agreed upon Restrictive Covenant Recording,concerning the prohibition of sleeping use in the
basement was not provided.
6. The garage exterior stair system detail—riser height,tread depth,guardrail and enclosed riser detail was not
provided. The proposed platform is in narrative form only.
Because Ms. Sylvester was acting on your behalf by meeting with Building Commissioner Mark Grylls and me at
various times and submitting the agreed upon Permit Application,I called her and left a message detailing these
deficiencies. The application lacked an email address. Building Commissioner Grylls also made two recent attempts
to call Ms. Sylvester. One call was not returned by Ms. Sylvester,and the other call resulted in a conversation
wherein,Commissioner Grylls reviewed the permit application issues. An appointment was set up for April 23,2019
to hopefully resolve this situation. However,Ms. Sylvester failed to show.
Accordingly,because of the blatant failure to take appropriate action and because of the life/safety nature of this
matter,and pursuant to the provisions of 780CMR Chapter 1, Section R114-Violaitons, You Are Hereby
Ordered to Cease All Use of the Basement Rooms and Remove all Associated Rooms,Immediately.
Failure to act will result in appropriate Court Action. In addition,MGL, Chap. 148A provides for
fines of$1,000 per day,per offense. Since two offense tickets have been issued to date, all subsequent
offenses would be treated as third and subsequent offences. Appliable tickets could be issued daily,
amounting to$2,000 each, until such time as the violations have been abated.
So ordered, c

As per our discussion,the follow is to serve as an Historical Summary concerning the use,creation of occupyable

SUMMARY
-Building Permit No. 801 was issued on January 10, 1983 for the construction of the house with an unfinished
basement-3 bedrooms,2 baths, living room,kitchen/dining room comb,deck and 1 car garage.
-The house lies within a Nitrogen Loading Limitation Zone,pursuant to 310CMR, Section 15.214. In this case the

-December 28,2016—The property owner,Ms.Kathrine Douglas came into the Building Dept. office to discuss
the use and creation of rooms in the basement of her house,without benefit of a Building Permit. She and I met to
discuss the details.Ms.Douglas drew a floor plan and depicted a kitchen and a combined sleeping/living area. Ms.
Douglas stated this was created 4-5 years ago(2011-2012). This was a voluntary action on her part and expressed
her concern. Other details of area in question were discussed. I explained that the Town of Yarmouth Zoning
Bylaw Accessory Apartment provisions may be a vehicle by which to create a lawful dwelling unit. I also
conveyed the life/safety aspects of this matter.
-January 23,2017—Ms.Douglas visited the Health Dept. and was advised that an additional bedroom would not
be permitted because of the Nitrogen Loading Limitation provisions.

-October 18,2018—Ticket No.B051-028660 was issued with a$1,000 associated fine. Fine was not paid.
-November 7,2018—Building Commissioner Mark Grylls and I met with Ms. Sylvester to discuss remediation
measures.
-November 8,2018—Health Dept. Housing Inspector Kevin Hook and I met with Ms. Douglas on site and
inspected the basement area. We were not permitted to inspect the first floor. We requested a floor plan of the
first floor. We were advised that the bed she was sleeping in, in the basement was moved up stairs.
-November 18,2018—Floor plan was provided.
-November 30,2018—Inspector Hook and I performed a follow up inspection. Ms. Sylvester was present. We
were permitted at this time to view the first floor.
-December 27,2018—Letter sent to Ms.Douglas,reviewing our meeting with Ms. Sylvester,our inspection and
detailing the life/safety items and the need to obtain a Building Permit to correct these deficiencies. The letter was
sent Certified Mail and regular mail. The Certified letter was not claimed.
-January 14,2019--A Building Permit application was submitted. I reviewed same and listed six items that were
not addressed in the package. I called Ms. Sylvester by phone(no email provided)and cited these items.
-March 12,2019—Mark Grylls called Ms. Sylvester and left a message. She failed to return this call.
-April 18 2019---March Grylls called Ms. Sylvester and spoke with her about the outstanding items on the Building
Permit application. An appointment was set up for April 23,2019,but Ms. Sylvester failed to show.
May 1,2019—A written Building Permit Denial was issued(see January 14,2019 note above).
Because of the blatant failure to take appropriate remedial action by the owner, and in view of the life/safety nature
of this matter, it is my opinion we take appropriate legal action.
