Mr.Fiorillo,
We have had several discussions with you over the years for projects on multiple properties regarding numerous issues.
The code has not changed.
As you have been made aware on more than one occasion,and on more than one project,that a contractor is required
to complete the work.
You do not qualify as a homeowner per 780 CMR Section 100.R5.1.2.Your contractor did not oversee the work and call
for the code required inspections per780 CMR section 110.1.It is unclear who did the work.Concerns for the safety of
the occupants is valid.A complaint has been filed with the state by this office as a result of his negligent behavior.
Despite your continued assertion that this office is non-responsive,we have met with you and your contractor Adam
together in my office and on site.Clear and concise direction to complete the project has been provided several times
and ignored.
I will not speak with you regarding anything related to permitting,or construction methods as it does not appear to be
productive and you are not responsible for the results.I will meet with the contractor of your choosing or respond to
you in writing only.Your contractor must assume responsibility for the existing permit before the 180 day expiration.
Should permit BLD-19-005721 lapse per 780 CMR section 105.5,another application including fees,will be required to
close the project and apply for occupancy.
You met Tim Sears on site,7/26/21 during a his site visit to confirm the continued illegal occupancy of the property. We
do not levy fines until confirmation of a violation.You were provided direction again regarding the requirement for a
contractor to assume responsibility for the project.Continued illegal occupancy will result in fines being assessed as this
is a violation of 780 CMR Section R111.1.This office has been left with no other recourse to assure the safety of the
inhabitants of your property than to levy fines for the illegal occupancy.
Your refusal to allow Inspector Sears entry is a violation of MGL Ch 143/Section 50.Note:fines or violations were not
issued as a result of the denied access.
Recorded timeline on file to date as follows:(see attached)
1. 2/20/19—application filed to replace 30 sq.siding,22 sq.roofing,6 windows,and 3 doors.Permit#BLD-19-
004715 issued on same date.
2. While conducting an inspection at a neighboring property,Inspector Inkley witnessed drywall being disposed of
in the dumpster at your property.After confirming that a permit was not in place for the work,he visited your
site.The interior of the dwelling was completely gutted to the frame without benefit of permit.He instructed
the contractor to stop work and apply for the permits required per 780 CMR Section R105.No stop work order
posted and no fines levied.
3. 4/12/2019—after the fact application applied for and denied,see letter 4/16/2019 attached.Your property
being in the VE 13 flood zone required further documentation to allow the building permit to be issued legally.
4. 7/1/2019—permit#BID-19-005721 issued for the work that had already begun.
5. 8/02/2019— Inspections requested. Rough frame &footings/forms. Inspector Sears approved the deck forms
and forms for the LVL footings in the crawl space. Frame inspection failed. Work was still underway and framing
incomplete. No electrical permit which was applied for 4 months later or inspections. Plumbing&gas permits
not applied for and or issued at that time, these were not issued until almost a year later.
6. 1/22/2020— Permit# BLDE-20-004029 issued for wiring regarding renovations to residence.
7. 4/21/2020—permit# BLDE-20-004029 passed rough inspection.There has not been a final inspection of the
wiring related to this permit and this permit may have expired. Please have your electrical contractor confirm
with the wiring inspector
8. 10/22/2020—Housing Inspector Kevin Hook indicates that he has received an application for a rental certificate.
He mentions that there are occupants in the dwelling. No inspections were performed by this office regarding
permit# BLD-005721 other than the footings/forms inspection of 8/02/2019.
9. 10/22/2020—Violation Notice issued to Adam Dizdari, contractor of record, see attached. Contractor called to
request his withdrawal from responsibility for the permit. He was informed that he was responsible for all
activity related to permit#BLD- 19—005721 that had happened to date. He did not follow up for the next few
months.
10. 1/22/2021-You as the owner were notified of the violation (see attached)
11. 1/28/2021—You visited my office with Mr. Dizdari and met with Inspector Sears, Inspector Inkley and myself to
discuss the matter.At that time you insisted that inspections were complete.There is no record of that on your
permit or in our system. You insisted that an inspector from this office left your site with your permit in hand.
Although you could not identify that person. That would be a first from anyone that works here.The permit is
the property of the permit holder and their responsibility to protect.
12. 1/29/2021—Inspectors Sears and Inkley met you and Mr. Dizdari on site to identify areas of concern that require
inspection,These are typical areas where failed inspections occur. We chose this method of inspection as
opposed to requesting all finishes be completely removed as allowed by 780 CMR section R110.1. If issues were
identified, this office had the opportunity to require all finishes removed.
13. 3/18/2021—Plumbing permit BLDP—21-005360 issued for plumbing work done without permit. Plumber of
record completed code related violations prior to calling for inspection.
14. 3/29/2021 Inspections for permit#BLDP—21-005360 complete.
15. 3/30/2021—Inspection requested to view opened areas. Inspector Inkley identifies footing to support the LVL
and second floor above not poured.Tempered glass was not installed in areas required by 780 CMR. Human
impacts possible and require this type of glass. Improvement required.
16. 5/27/2021—Foundation approved by Inspector Inkley.
17. 7/19/2021—Gas permit BLDG—22-000328 issued for illegally installed furnace. Initial inspection fails as a result
of improper venting. It was also noted by the plumbing inspector that there was a dark liquid on the ground
near the mounded septic system. Health Director Bruce Murphy was made aware of this.
18. 7/29/2021— Re-inspection of failed venting complete and passed.
19. 7/22/2021—Wiring permit BLDE-22-00405 issued for illegally installed furnace. Inspection request came today
8/2/2021 and they were asked to stand for their inspections. HPCC did not respond to a call from the wiring
inspector to inspect this afternoon. Inspections not complete for this work.
To date, Building Permit BLD-19-005721 does not have an entity responsible who is eligible to close the permit. Your
continued violations as described will accrue fines until the illegal occupancy ceases and or the permits are closed as
required by law.
I look forward to hearing from your contractor in the near future to put this whole matter to rest.
I have requested input from counsel regarding next steps the town should pursue to protect the visitors to the Town of
Yarmouth
Mark

Gentlemen, rb

I would like someone to return one of my 7 messages left over the last couple of weeks
where I have been requesting a meeting and/or a call back to to get to the bottom of this
MESS. Also it would be nice if we could also get back to HPPC for the electrical
inspection which they have been trying to schedule for the last several days.
Also have still yet to get a meeting or call back and had even went to the building
department almost three weeks ago, in person and requested a meeting or a call back
and still nothing just the "beat the clock" game to prevent me from timely re-doing or re-
completing yet more work or new items that just keeps getting added on .

Some how though, almost magically, Tim Sears has all the time in the World to
consistently harrass and intimidate me and my guests on a daily basis at my home. but
could not be bothered with actually helping us all just complete whatever whims
of "new codes" or "new items" he seems to find every days, we have not done yet.
v/6LA-71a/i-, I) i' / 6) $6-if
Yarmouth's Two Years of Harassments, Unfair & Unjust Levying of Fines and
Penalties Cause of Property Damage.
The almost two years of constant harassment and unwarranted abuse from the building
department against me needs to end right now. You order me to "Cut Apart My
House" (Funny) to show you work that was already inspected and signed off on back
in 2019 and YOU KNEW IT WAS COMPLETE AND PROPER AND IT WOULD
EASILY COST ME $50,000 to repair. ( I continued to show you multiple photos and the
2019 Sign off from Tim Sears for this work)
Now you have successfully threatened my former GC with unjust fines and penalties
and he wont return any calls or emails. Now. with all this craziness going, no GC's is
willing to help me. I guess you will have to continue to harm me with your unfair
practices, illegal fines and continued threats to prevent my quiet enjoyment of my
home. I am now left to be the point of contact and within my rights to deal with this
mess with you and Tim directly. GREAT !
THESE GAMES MUST STOP RIGHT NOW !
We all know I have had been subjected to numerous "fines and re-inspection fees" as a
JOKE of sorts over the last 2 years with my home renovation. I was all too "OK" with
these fun and games at the time, as I was just a easy going type of guy. Enough is 4
//1
Enough ! n J2— 6,4 ft, %- c GAO
t€" r7' /ff'v fJ
This new GAME that is now going on is not funny at all and innocent people are getting
hurt for know other reason then spite !
We all know we had inspections done back in 2019 that deemed the house structurally
safe, sound free from unsafe conditions. It was well know, my rental permit was in and
myself and my employees and other seasonal guests where enjoying my house for
almost two years.
Just most recently Tim Sears decided to come unannounced to the property and
immediately threatened us with fines and penalties and order us to move out of my
home in 24 Hours !
He has continually trespassed and harassed myself and
other occupants at my home but has not bothered to
return my calls or actually work with me with any clear
direction or objectives or help me complete his ever
changing demands and now unjustly fined me almost
$4,500 . I HAVE APPEALED ALL OF THEM !
For whatever reason I have been singled out, and have been now order to pay multiple
fines and left needlessly re-apply for permits I already lawfully had been granted,when I
was not required to do so. As we know, COVID affected everyone and the logistics with
the town were difficult at best and I was instructed to take multiple pictures of the
ongoing work until an inspector could review on email or actually come out to the site
when the"Shelter in Place"was lifted.
I strongly fell even at this moment and for the past several years, if I do not
succumb to these unjust fines and "constant re-application fees" and continue
to put up with this punitive abuse, I would be further retaliated against and
it would further jeopardies my quiet enjoyment of my home and my ability to
operate my vacation rental business here in Yarmouth.
History of Permits/Inspections & MULTIPLE UNFAIR
RE-INSPECTIONS
3/2019 Start Process to Apply for 4 Glennwood Renovation Permit
3/2019-6/2019 90 days trying to appease Tim Sears in a forever changing over
reaching permit to issue process
7/16/2019 1st Emails&Multiple Calls to Tim Sears for Rough Frame/Footing
Inspection, inspector Comes to site-adds yet more overreaching demands above
and beyond the plans that where approved and submitted.
8/1/2019 2nd Emails&Calls for Rough Frame,Structural &Footing Inspection&
Request to Tim Sears

8/20/2019 -Structural-Framing -Footing- ROUGH ELECTRICAL Foundation
Inspection HAD BEEN COMPLETED AND SIGNED OFF SEE PERMIT TIM SEARS
SIGNED OFF TS initial's and the town even came back I was told by Tim Sears
granted permission to close up all the WALLS !
1/2021 Town accuses me off not getting signed off back in 2019 and closing walls
illegally
1/27/2021 Building Department Meeting with Tim and Mark where I provided
Permit SIGN OFFs from 2019 with signatures of signature along and also provide
all the pictures of the work will the walls open showing all the required structural
and framing was done correctly as inspected in the SUMMER OF 2019.
5/2021 C/O Inspection Early May Call for re-Inspector Brad Comes out for our 3rd
re- inspection !
Brad Unlawfully Orders me to "CHOP UP AND HACK OUT" tens of thousands of
dollars in finish and built ins renovation work that was 100% finished years prior
and Signed off ON by TIM SEARS IN 2019, so the town could "RE-JOKE-
INSPECT" the work because they Conveniently Forgot that T.S. HAD ALEADY
DONE IT ! Tim just conveniently said he must of forgot when they went out and
had earlier inspected the framing, foundation and footings when he was finally
confronted with his own signature affixed to the 2019 permit. (mysteriously all
my earlier inspections have been erased on the towns servers?)
5/2021 C/O Inspection Late May Brad Comes Back out and meets with James
Borelli & GC and gives final ok for the 4th time and says we have complied with
requests and gives final C/O approval and takes out his tablet and appears to
electronically sign and tells us we are 100% finished. He did how ever look into
the HVAC gas piping of and says if we do not have that inspection to please call it
tells us we are ok to remove the sticker on the door!
7/10/2021 Week of July- Tim Sears confronts summer guests and states they
must move out of the home in 24 hours and be subject to fines and penalties
unless I immediately file for the final and last HVAC gas permit and now adds we
must get a rough electrical re-inspection.
7/14/2021 Harwichport HPPCE is hired an immediately sends email to town and I
follow up with an email begging Mark and Tim to call me and discuss the final
(albeit) brand new demands they are now looking for to make them happy.
7/15 or so I go to building department and request meeting with Mark and Tim to
discuss the situation, Mark will not see me and I request to set up the soonest
possible meeting and have not gotten conformation or call back to meet. Tim
also final admits that I only need electrical final, ROUGH WAS COMPLETE and so
was he, and need to have HPPC complete the work and call for inspections.
7/23-7/25 HPPC is on scene and completes work during multiple
TS harassing visits to the property purely to intimidate, prevent my quiet
enjoyment and threaten eviction.
3
Tim tells my guest, they can stay in the house ! They
were never in an unsafe house and are not in danger!
AS LONG AS NICK GETS THE WORK DONE !
7/25 On or about Tim arrived again at my property unannounced, never tried to
call me or email or set up any meetings or inspections at the property.
His sole objective was to continue to harrass me and
my guests, threaten me with fines and penalties.
7/29 ELECTRICAL INSPECTION DELAYS
We have starting calling for inspections that had started over a 5 days ago,
conveniently we have now just heard back, after multiple calls to the electrical
inspector, HE WILL TRY TO COME BY ON MONDAY , MAYBE !
Tim also is very well aware that the HVAC Gas pipe
was inspected days ago and signed off on but again
conveniently has not informed anyone only to add
further undo stress and anxiety for myself and many
other innocent people.
It is extremely obvious to everyone the overzealous and hurtful intent of the building
departments attempts to disrupt the quite enjoyment of my home and it's occupants is
ridiculous and needs to end now. My house is safe and has been safe from collapse
and structural failure since summer of 2019!
Mark and Tim
Please stop being vindictive and start being responsive and understand that a lot of
innocent people, including myself are being wrongly persecuted and be called out like
criminals and are being financial damaged and this entire conspiracy again myself and
my home is punitive in nature.
As you know I have complied with all that was requested of me and every time you
demanded, I paid unfair fees and penalties and received my final inspections of
structure and framing in deeming the house safe in 2019. Then you had me cut up the
house, ($50,000) and repaired it and had it re-inspected again this in May, the only
thing that remained was an HVAC gas permit to be closed out which has now been
done.
4
My home was and has been deemed safe and had has occupancy for over 75 years
and you need to stop this and allow this to end right right now. We all know Brad did
the CIO inspection and he passed it with multiple witness at the site inspection this past
May.
Please do not let this go to the courts and do not put the Town or your department into a
needless lawsuit where, I will be forced to seek substantial and quantifiable money
damages that I know I will be entitled to.
Please work with me and get this entire situation closed out for everyone's benefit. We
all know all the work has now been done and we are just waiting for you to "call off the
dogs" and let the department inspectors get out to my home to finish this out.
Thank you in advance for your future cooperation,
Sincerely
Nick
Thanks Nick

The P&G Inspector has not signed off on the furnace permit. There is a reinspection fee due.
The structure has not had P&G, Electrical, or final Building inspections/approvals.
The Certificate of Occupancy has not been issued. The owner has been made aware of the requirements
for final inspections on numerous occasions.
Fees continue to be assessed as the property continues to be occupied unlawfully.
The owner of the property should be advising you of the status of their property.

The only update I'm aware of is that the Plumbing and Gas Inspector as conducted an inspection for the
furnace. Results unknown at this time.

Mr.Fiorillo,
It has come to my attention that there is quite a bit of confusion regarding the status of permit#BLD-19-
005721.
The contractor was dismissed from responsibility by you on July 19,2021.The permit is in limbo until you
identify a contractor to assume responsibility to finalize the project.You do not meet the code
requirements to assume responsibility for the project.
10
There has not been final Plumbing/Gas , Electrical or Building inspections nor has a Certificate of
Occupancy been issued.
I will be reaching out to Town Counsel in the next few days for guidance on next steps for this department
to address the code violations that are being ignored.

Subject: RE: 4 Glenwood
Hi,
The application for the illegally installed heating system has been applied for and issued.
The results of the Plumbing & Gas Inspectors visit are that the system has failed inspection as a result of
incorrect venting materials being used to exhaust the fixture. The safety of the unit is unclear. This code
violation will need to be corrected. In addition to this, the inspector noted that there is a black discharge
bubbling up from the raised septic system.
I have copied the Health Director Bruce Murphy to make him aware of the apparent septic issues.
The wiring permit for the unit was issued today. I am not aware of the inspection status.
The owner has released the original contractor for the project. The original building permit is in limbo at
this time. I am not aware of a contractor assuming responsibility for the building permit. The building
inspections are not complete and the Occupancy Permit has not been issued to date. Any occupancy is a
violation of section R111.1 of the MA State Building Code.

There is not likely any chance that this will be resolved tomorrow. It is the end of the day and the
contractor informed this office that they would be visiting the site tomorrow to make sure it is ready for
inspection. The furnace does not have a permit for the gas and electrical connections yet either.
We are just trying to keep Yarmouth vacationers safe.

131 Washington St
Foxboro, MA 02035 April 16, 2019
RE: 4 Glenwood St—permit application for addition & alterations
Dear Mr. Dizdari,
This letter is in regard to a building permit application for an addition & alterations. We have reviewed the
information you provided with your application.
The property is located in a FEMA designated flood zone(VE Elevation 13). The 9th Edition of the Massachusetts
Building code requires the building official review the application and determine if it is a Substantial Improvement;
R105.3.1.1 Determination of Substantially Improved or Substantially Damaged Existing Buildings in
Flood Hazard Areas. For applications for reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, alteration, repair or other
improvement of existing buildings or structures located in a flood hazard area as established by section
322.1.1, the building official shall examine or cause to be examined the construction documents and shall make
a determination with regard to the value of the proposed work For buildings that have sustained damage of
any origin, the value of the proposed work shall include the cost to repair the building or structure to its pre-
damaged condition. If the building official finds that the value of proposed work equals or exceeds 50%of the
market value of the building or structure before the damage has occurred or the improvement is started, the
proposed work is a substantial improvement or restoration of substantial damage and the building official shall
require existing portions of the entire building or structure to meet the requirements of section R322. For the
purpose of this determination, a substantial improvement shall mean any repair, reconstruction, rehabilitation,
addition or improvement of a building or structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50% of the market value
of the building or structure before the improvement or repair is started. Where the building or structure has
sustained substantial damage, repairs necessary to restore the building or structure to its pre-damaged
condition shall be considered substantial improvements regardless of the actual repair work performed. The
term shall not include either of the following:
1. Improvements to a building or structure that are required to correct existing health, sanitary or safety code
violations identified by the building official and that are the minimum necessary to ensure safe living
conditions.
2. Any alteration of a historic building or structure,provided that the alteration will not preclude the continued
designation as a historic building or structure. For the purposes of this exclusion, a historic building shall be
any of the following:
2.1. Listed or preliminarily determined to be eligible for listing in the contributing to the historical significance
of a registered historic district or a district preliminarily determined to qualify as an historic district.
2.2. Designated as historic under a state or local historic preservation program that is approved by the U.S.
National Register of Historic Places.
2.3. Determined by the Secretary of the US. Department of the Interior as Department of the Interior.
R105.3.1.1.1 Determination of Substantial Repair of a Foundation.
R104.10.1 Flood Hazard Areas. The building official shall not grant modifications to any provision related to
flood hazard areas as established by 780 CMR without the granting of a variance by the Building Code Appeals
Board.
We have reviewed your application and have determined that it is a substantial improvement.The work you propose
in this application is valued at$120,000, and the town has the value of the structure listed as $192,900. The plans
you have submitted do not comply with Section 322 of the 9th Edition of the Massachusetts State Building Code. I
regret to inform you that your application has been denied for this reason.

RE: 4 Glenwood St.West Yarmouth—permit BLD-19-005721
Mr. Dizdar,
The Building Department issued a permit for renovations at this address with you listed as the licensed Construction Supervisor.
This permit is currently still open,with no framing inspection done to date.It has come to our attention that this project has been
completed without the required inspections being performed. This is a violation of section RI 10.6 of the Massachusetts State
Building Code;
RI10.6 Approval Required. Work shall not be done beyond the point indicated in each successive inspection without first
obtaining the approval of the building official. The building official, upon notification, shall make the requested inspections
and shall either indicate the portion of the construction that is satisfactory as completed, or notify the permit holder or his or
her agent wherein the same fails to comply with 780 CMR.Any portions that do not comply shall be corrected and such portion
shall not be covered or concealed until authorized by the building official.
It is the responsibility of the permit holder to request the required inspections under section R110.5;
RI10.5 Inspection Requests.It shall be the duty of the holder of the building permit or their duly authorized agent to notify the
building official when work is ready for inspection. It shall be the duty of the permit holder to provide access to and means for
inspections of such work that are required by 780 CMR. The building official may require the permit holder or his or her
representative or the licensed construction supervisor to attend these inspections.
It has also come to our attention that this dwelling is being occupied without a valid certificate of occupancy;
RI11.1 Use and Occupancy. "No building or structure shall be used or occupied, and no change in the existing occupancy
classification of a building or structure or portion thereof shall be made until the building commissioner, or inspector of
buildings, or when applicable, the state inspector, has issued a certificate of occupancy therefore as provide herein. "
Failure to comply with the MA State Building code 780 CMR is subject to fines and penalties as prescribed in MGL CH 143
section 91. Each day constitutes a new violation.
