Dear Mr. Piver,

both existing and new, and all systems and equipment therein which are regulated by 780 CMR shall be
maintained in a safe, operable and sanitary condition. All service equipment, means of egress, devices and
safeguards which are required in a building or structure, or which were required by a previous statute in a
building or structure, when erected, altered or repaired, shall be maintained in good working order.
As the owner you are responsible for compliance with the Massachusetts State Building Code.
R102.8.1 Owner Responsibility. The owner shall be responsible for compliance with the provisions of 780

You are hereby directed to have a Registered Design Professional evaluate the retaining wall and submit a permit
