Timeline of complaint for Brewster Woods Apt 209
10/26/23 — received a voice mail from Maureen Henderson, Resident in apt 209 at Brewster Woods. She stated
that her apartment had been flooded with septic water and her personal items were damaged and that the
septic was leaking down into the basement storage area also and this was the third time it had happened (she
left voice mail on 10/25/23 around 6:45PM).
An email was sent to Jacquelyn Linehan, Property Manager at Brewster Woods explaining what happened and
she was asked to contact the Health Department ASAP to discuss what had occurred. She immediately called
me back and explained that Robert B Our had been out the night before to fix the clog in the pipe that backed
up into Ms. Hendersons apartment. Ms. Linehan stated that she offered to re -house Ms. Henderson that night,
but she declined. She stated that there is a problem with the 31d floor residents flushing wipes down the toilet
and that she would be doing inspections on all the apartments on the 3rd floor and would be sending out a
notice that anyone found with wipes would be issued a lease violation.
Ms. Henderson contacted the Health Department again before I had a chance to call her back. She explained
everything to me again, including that she had photos and a video, and I stated that I had spoken to Ms.
Linehan about what happened and that she had Robert B Our out to clear the clog and had hired professional
cleaners to come clean the apartment. She was not happy with that answer and asked me what we were going
to do about a future flood. I again stated that Ms. Linehan was trying to work on that. I asked Ms. Henderson to
send me an email with her complaint and the photos and we would go from there. She gave me her email
address and asked that I send her an email so she would have the email address to send the information to. I
immediately sent Ms. Henderson an email so that she would have the correct address (see attached). At no
time did she ask me to have an inspection of her apartment.
The same day, I emailed Ms. Linehan and asked if she knew if the blockage was inside the building or outside
and asked her to send me copies of work orders/invoices that RBO had given her for the work they did.
10/27/23 — Checked several times throughout the day to see if Ms. Henderson had sent her email with the
complaint, photos, and video. Did not receive anything.
10/30/23 — Ms. Henderson left a voicemail again about the same issue and wanted to know why we had not
sent anything to her yet by email. I sent another email to her immediately (see attached).
10/30/23 - Sherrie McCullough spoke with Ms. Linehan, and she clarified that the clogging is happening inside
the building. She spoke about the wipe issue and other things that are being flushed. Ms. Linehan again stated
that she will be doing inspections to try and determine where the wipes are coming from. She also stated that
all residents are advised at move in time to get renters insurance in case there is any personal property
damage in the apartment and that they are not liable. She had not yet received any invoices for the repair work
but will forward them to us when she gets them.
11/17/23 — I received a copy of an email from Ms. Linehan that was sent to Ms. Henderson with regards to the
issue and that they continue to work towards a solution.
11/17/23 — an email was sent to Amy von Hone from Ms. Henderson about what occurred and included
pictures and a video. This is the first time we have heard from Ms. Henderson since 10/30/23.
11/17/23 —1 sent an email to Ms. Linehan asking for copies of the invoices for the repair and clean-up work
(Received on 11/17/23 for the work done by Robert B Our).
40 Brewster Woods Drive Unit #209
10/26/2023 — Apartment 209 cleaned and disinfected by Brightworks Cleaning Company
11/17/2023 — Received a copy from Brewster Woods Management team of the Invoice for the repair
work conducted by R.B. Our on 10/25/2023, in response to the backup.
11/21/2023 — Ms. Henderson requested a comprehensive housing inspection.
11/22/2023 — Housing inspection was conducted by Assistant Health Director Sherrie McCullough and
Health Director Amy von Hone. After the inspection we meet with Rachel St. Germain, Assistant Property
Manager, and Ralph, Maintenance Supervisor for the property. This office requested in writing a detailed
action plan for preventative measures in response to the three back-ups that have occurred.
11/27/2023 — As part of the response plan a disaster remediation cleaning company was contacted to
evaluate and establish an estimate for remediation needed in response to the previous backups. RB Our
was contracted to do monthly maintenance of the sewer lines to prevent future backups. Meanwhile
POAH is investigating a solution to the HVAC drain to mitigate future backups.
11/28/2023 — RB Our plumbing services was on-site to conduct the first monthly maintenance
appointment. A clog was discovered in the same sewer line. The clog was so bad pipes had to be cut in
the basement to fix the clog. A camera was sent down the pipe and found a child's toy lodged
approximately 70' down the pipe from the point of entry. Monthly maintenance services will be
conducted on a regular basis. Service Pro was also on site to complete an assessment of Unit 209. On
Friday, December 1, a second company (Allbrite Disaster Restoration) to conduct and assessment. Both
companies will submit their estimates for review by POAH.
11/29/2023 — This office received a phone call from Scott Coczela from the Community Sanitation
Division at MDPH. We returned his call and shared our information regarding the back-ups. We informed
him at this time there were no outstanding violations, and that the management company was putting
together a preventative maintenance program. We also shared that we requested remediation to the
unit be conducted by a professional cleaning company.
11/30/2023 —This office received a request to appear before the Brewster Board of Health at their next
meeting.

Subject: RE: Brewster Woods complaint - Apartment 209
Hi,
I spoke with Jackie first thing this morning after listening to the voicemail. She clarified that the clogging is happening
inside the building. She stated at least 3' of wipes were snaked out of the internal piping. She was talking extremely fast,
so I am not sure if that was the most recent unclogging or a previous event. She also commented that it is deplorable
what some residents are putting into the waste line. She stated she will begin to do inspections and that generally they
are conducted once a year, but the residents have not even been there a full year. She stated even if she does
inspections the residents could just hide the wipes. She stated she had advised Ms. Henderson that when living in an
apartment setting with others it is a good idea to get renters insurance. Per Jackie, Ms. Henderson has not gotten the
renters insurance to date. I asked if she could send via email copies of work orders and invoices for repair work. She will
send what she has today. She has not yet received invoices for repair work but when she receives the paperwork, she
will forward them to our department.

Brewster Woods - Urgent Notice email.
This is an email to follow up on the notice you will be receiving at your door by the end of the day today Friday
September 8th 2023.
The water to the property will be shut off from gam to 3pm on Monday September 11th 2023 to allow for us to perform
some needed repairs.
During this time you will be unable to use any water. This includes sinks, showers and toilets. Please plan your day
accordingly.
Please remember our community is on a septic system. The septic system is being compromised by items such as
cigarettes, "flushable" wipes, contraceptive items, feminine products and other items outside of toilet paper that are
being flushed. THIS IS URGENT- This is impacting your neighbors as it is causing the septic system to back up into units.
Additionally, management has removed two kayaks that were found behind the maintenance storage shed. All personal
items must be stored in your apartment home or in the storage unit provided to you.
If the kayaks are not claimed by Friday September 22"d 2023, they will be disposed of.
If you have any questions, please reach out to myself or Rachel(RstGermain@-poahcommunities.com)

Maureen -
I am in receipt of your emails. Please be advised that I have been out of the office for a couple of weeks including on the
date of this most recent incident with your rental unit. I will get back to you as soon as I can after consulting with Health
Department staff and the management company for Brewster Woods for additional details on the sewage overflow and
follow-up response.
It would also be helpful if you could clarify if there is damage to the building and/or your unit that has not been
remediated yet. I am in receipt of your emails (complaints) today and recognize your concerns with the conditions at
Brewster Woods, and as noted above, will get back to you after my research.
If you are amenable, I can coordinate a time to meet you at your unit for an inspection next week on Monday or
Wednesday late morning or afternoon. Please let me know by Monday morning when you would be available.
Thank you, Amy

Subject: Brewster woods septic
On 10/26, 1 came home to find my apartment flooded for third time with raw sewage but this time, it reached every
room. I called DPH and left Voicemail.
The next day, I called DPH to see when they were coming to inspect the property and was informed by Tammy Mason
that they had already spoken to the property manager and were not going to do anything more. That the current
remedy of notifying the tenants to stop putting things in septic was sufficient and the matter closed. I explained this was
third time in as many months and this remedy wasn't working but she insisted the matter was closed. I asked how I
could file a written complaint and she said there is no form. That my phone call was only way to notify Brewster DPH. I
asked her to email me DPH address, gave her mine but never heard back.
I had to defend myself to her because Tammy said I was offered a hotel room in Hyannis for the night after third flood
but declined. So the manager was offering a viable solution and I was refusing. Who would leave their apartment that
was actively flooding with septic? How would leaving save my personal property which Brewster refuses to reimburse
me? Wouldn't anyone not want to lose everything they own? How would leaving for one night remove the toxic water
that I would come back to?
I am living in an apartment which will, not might, will flood any day because management chooses to ignore any other
solution.
I am asking for clarification on how I can submit a formal complaint. I have no choice at this point.
Please refer to video and pics I will forward.

Hello Maureen,
Thank you for your email. My team and I understand this is frustrating for you.
We need the residents in the building to assist us by not putting wipes and other items down the drain. Our maintenance
supervisor is in continued communication with Robert B Our to receive feedback on potential other solutions, but the
current conversation is this is being caused by human error.
At the time of move in, we spoke with each resident to stress the importance of renters insurance. We encourage
everyone to purchase renters insurance to cover the cost of any damage caused by flood, fire, etc to their personal
property. Brewster Woods is not liable for damage to residents personal property or automobile.
We will continue to work towards another solution.

Subject: Septic
CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know
the content is safe.
So my apartment flooded for a third time in about as many months. This last time it flooded to every room in my
apartment. If I wasn't there, it would have ruined everything in my apartment. The remedy of just notifying tenants to
not put things in septic isn't working. I literally am living with keeping my things in buckets. You haven't even come to
see what I am dealing with. You had to have the basement ceiling repaired because the septic has been allowed to sit
between my floors and the basement ceiling every time. A maid with a mop can't disinfect my furniture or remove
septic between the floors. Offering me to go to a hotel for the night this last time would have meant me leaving while the
septic was still actively flooding my apartment. I needed to be there to save what I could since you have not responded
to my request to reimburse me one dime for what I lost in personal property. You had the on site inspector come since
then. Why didn't you show them the one apartment that continually gets flooded with septic? What are you going to do
to fix this?

On 10/26/23, 1 called Brewster DPH to inform them that the septic system where 1 lived had failed for
the third time in 3 months flooding my apartment and exposing me to bio hazardous raw sewage. Your
office followed up with a phone call to management here and decided no further action was warranted
even though the remedy posed was the same remedy implemented since the first incident. Every .
tenant in this building has and is currently being exposed to this toxic material since the sewage was
allowed to seep through the floor into the common storage area. The clean up done by a maid service
rather than having it done per Dept of Environmental protection guidelines regarding disposal of
hazardous materials.
Since then I have spoken to DPH Boston who have advised me on further action. I have requested in
writing an inspection. Specifically a comprehensive inspection which is scheduled for tomorrow. They
have informed me of multiple code violations including but not limited to CMR 410.130 (B) of state
sanitary codes. They are also in violation of multiple DEP violations as they have not properly disposed
of this hazardous waste. Not to mention Mass Title 5 violations according to DPH.
The failure to respond to this crisis means they are not meeting the minimal standards of Fitness for
Human Habitation for all the tenants here.
I am confused regarding your asking me about the current condition of the building and my apartment.
Those are questions the comprehensive inspection should answer.
So, per DPH advice, I am formally requesting the following:
- a comprehensive inspection
- a signed and certified copy under pains and penalty of perjury of the code report at time of
inspection
- a copy of the report and repair order within a few days
- a copy of receipt for the return of service on the landlord
I will be available to provide any additional information at the inspection tomorrow.

Good morning, Rachel,
I understand Jackie is away and was informed that you would be the correct person to follow-up with. I was wondering if
I could ask you a few questions about the back-ups/overflows that are occurring in unit 209. Can you provide the
previous dates of overflows. Can you clarify that the waste overflow is only occurring in unit 209. Do you have any
pictures? Could we have invoices from the services that fixed the problem, including cleaning service. Also, I understand
Bright Works did the last clean-up. Are they licensed as a disaster clean up specialist as far as cleaning up the sewage? Is
the management agency planning on doing any further investigation as to why this keeps happening and why it only
overflows into unit 209?
My health director and I are scheduled to do an inspection at her unit today at 11:00. If it is easier to respond please feel
free to call 508-896-3701 ext 1120.
Thank you,

Hi Rachel -
Per our inspection of Unit 209, Brewster Woods today at the request of the tenant, Maureen Henderson, please find
attached a copy of the inspection report which has also been forwarded to the tenant for her records. Per our meeting
with you and Ralph, maintenance supervisor, at the conclusion of the inspection, please provide the Health Department
with an action plan as soon as possible to address the following items that need to be remediated:
1. Priority— a disaster remediation cleaning company to be contracted to investigate and remediate any sewage
penetration and/or damage to Unit 209 and the storage area in the basement level. At a minimum in Unit
209, the HVAC utility closet, the bathroom, the food pantry, the kitchen, the living room, the bedroom and
closet, and the living room closet need to be investigated. Investigation and remediation must include
internal wall/floor/ceiling spaces that became contaminated/saturated with sewage. The Health Department
is to be notified of the scheduled start date and a summary report is to be submitted to the Health
Department representing certification by the cleaning company that all contaminated areas in Building 40
have been mitigated.
Please submit a proposed action plan including timeframe to address:
a. Preventative measures to be taken to prevent any additional sewage backflows into internal spaces of
the building. You had stated that monthly maintenance (snaking sewage line from Unit 209) to be
conducted by R B Our Company, and relocation of the HVAC drainage line and capping the floor drain in
Unit 209 to close off the current source of the sewage overflow were possible solutions currently being
investigated.
b. As required, investigation of existing sewer pipes in the building connected to the area of the sewage
overflows to take place to confirm the internal plumbing is working appropriately.
c. Notification to tenants regarding inappropriate disposal of wipes which appear to be the primary source
of the sewage overflows into Unit 209.
d. Inspections of units, contributing to the sewage overflow, to confirm compliance with proper disposal of
wipes.
e. Investigation of complaint from Unit 208 of sewage odor inside one of the unit bedrooms.
I will anticipate your proposed action plan (via email) as soon as possible. Please keep the Health Department notified of
start and finish dates for any remediation to take place, and to schedule necessary re -inspections, when
appropriate. Thank you for your cooperation today, and please do not hesitate to contact our office with any questions
or concerns.
Thank you, Amy

Initial response emailed to POAH after our inspection with you and a follow-up meeting with Rachel St. Germain and
Ralph (Maintenance) regarding the sewage overflow.
You have advised me via phone today that POAH is attempting to access your unit with a disaster remediation cleaning
company, and they have also advised you that R B Our will be maintaining the sewer lines on a monthly basis while they
investigate a solution to the HVAC drain in your unit to prevent future sewage backups.
Please keep Sherrie and I posted on the response from POAH and we will advise you of the same from our office.
Thank you, Amy

Good morning
The cleaning company is scheduled for evaluation today which is a start but it's been almost a week and nothing to my
knowledge has been done about the septic itself. Because of the frequency that septic fails, it could happen any
moment. Did they order septic to come when they acknowledged the problem 5 days ago? Why not? If that company
wasn't available then they should have called another. It should have been done before the cleanup.
They need to provide me with a written plan of exactly when the septic will be coming for scheduled maintenance Once
a month? On the first of the month? At this point I need copies of the invoices proving the work was done because they
had not acted in good faith since July. I need to know when they're coming which should have been within 48 hrs of
notification of emergency violation of Sanitary Code. I have provided proof that the septic overflowed about 30 days
between first and second time. So saying once a month is not adequate. They could come on the first one month then
not until the 15th the next and it would be too late.
I wish I could trust them to do the right thing but reality is I'm sitting here in my apartment 6 days after inspection and
nothing has been done to maintain septic lines.
I know they will fight with everything they have to not comply with the request to provide specific day for monthly
maintenance and proof that they are in compliance but so far they haven't acted in good faith through this whole
process. The question is why not? Why can't they schedule Our Septic to come on the first of every month? Why not
just give us the invoices? Or copy of contract with septic company?
Please keep me updated if you know more.
Thank you in advance

Rachel -
As a follow-up to my email from last week regarding Unit 209, to date I have not received a copy of your action plan for
the necessary actions spelled out in my corrective orders (see email below). Additionally, I have since received several
notifications from the tenant, Maureen Henderson, regarding scheduling of contractors for professional cleaning of the
unit and maintenance of the sewer line. Maureen's last email expressed her disagreement with use of her bathroom for
monthly access to snake the sewer line, as was conducted today. During our conversation last week, I specifically stated
my concerns with use of Maureen's bathroom for monthly sewer line maintenance, and that another access point would
need to be determined. I also have not received any notifications from you regarding the contractors or their scheduled
appointments to date for the appropriate mitigation measures spelled out in the corrective orders.
Please remit to the Health Department by end of day, Thursday, 11/30/23, a copy of your action plan, mitigation
measures completed to date, and most importantly, permanent corrective measures to be taken as soon as possible to
prevent back up of sewage into Unit 209 and any other units in Building 40. Submittal of this information is required to
avoid further enforcement action.
Thank you for your cooperation.

FW: Brewster Woods
Hi Amy,
Thank you for speaking with Jackie and 1 last week. My apologies for the delay in getting back to you, we will get all
other materials requested to you as soon as possible. Please see the following regarding an anticipated timeline in order
to get this issue under control:
1. ServicePro was onsite Tuesday, 11/28/2023 in order to complete an assessment of the space per your and Ms.
Henderson's request for a disaster remediation cleaning company. Please find the attached report regarding
their recommendations. We have also had Allbrite Disaster Restoration onsite Friday, 12/1/2023, in order to
submit a secondary assessment for any mitigation/ remediation plans. As soon as we have a quote we will copy
you on this, and depending on the vendor's availability, we will anticipate work to begin as early as this
week. As discussed on our call last week, the work required for this matter will likely require Ms. Henderson to
be moved temporarily during this time. We will schedule accordingly with Ms. Henderson in advance of this.
2. Robert B Our plumbing services, was onsite 11/28/23 for the first monthly preventative maintenance
appointment. While deploying the camera they found a children's toy lodged approximately 70 feet down the
pipe from the point of entry. The obstruction was removed, and no further blockage was detected at the
time. Per our conversation with Ed Miles, master plumber, we are anticipating that regularly scheduled PM
appointments will take place mid -month, subject to change depending on their availability. We will forward a
proposal in writing as soon as that has been received. Please see his attached email regarding his opinion on the
subject following this week's appointment.
3. Unit inspections for all residents at Brewster Woods will be conducted by management and will take place on
Tuesday, December 12. We will notify them via sitewide notice this week.
4. We will add a firm reminder regarding best practices to mitigate these occurrences along with the notice of the
resident inspections.
5. Our management team, along with help from our facilities management department and development team,
are reviewing blueprints for possible solutions regarding the existing structure and possibility of rerouting the
condensate line outlet. We will be meeting along via zoom in the next few days, and will keep you posted with
any changes to follow.
b. Regarding unit 208, we have not had any complaints from this tenant regarding concerns of this nature. I was in
this unit myself last week, and the housekeeping within the unit is truly wanting (dirty diapers on the floor along
with trash, food waste, etc., I do have photos if you would like to see this). When onsite with ServicePro on
Tuesday and Allbrite on Friday for their assessments, Ms. Hindle was off-site and unreachable via phone
therefore we were unable to enter in order to assess the current condition. At this time, we do not believe Ms.
Hindle's unit was effected in any way, however we will advise the tenant that there will be some exploratory
measures to be taken when the contractor is chosen to ensure this is the case.
Thank you for your assistance as we work to get this resolved, it is truly appreciated.

Hi Jackie,
Welcome back from a well deserved vacation! Last night we found the obstruction that I believe has caused the multiple
backups for apartment 209. It was a hard plastic spoon that was wedged sideways in the expansion coupling and
wouldn't move. Waste would cause a blockage on one half while the other half flowed until too much debris caused the
other half to clog as well. (see attachment). This work should satisfy the Brewster BOH. I would check with Amy to see if
she is satisfied and will remove the mandatory monthly drain work. As of now, we are scheduled to return at the end of
December. Let me know.
Ralph also thought we are on a monthly recurring drain clear for a couple of apartments at Kings Landing. We do not
have anything set up. Please advise. Thanks
Ed Miles

In accordance with Sections 127A and 127B of Chapter I I I of the Massachusetts General Laws,
105 CMR 400.000, et Lqq. (State Sanitary Code, Chapter 1, General Administrative Procedures, and 105
CMR 410.000, et �jM. (State Sanitary Code, Chapter 11, Minimum Standards of Fitness for Human
Habitation), the Board of Health of the Town of Brewster (the "Board"), acting by and through its duly
authorized agent, Health Director Amy von Hone, has found that the dwelling units located in the
basement of the premises located at 94 Belmont Park Road, Brewster, Massachusetts, are unfit for
human habitation and cannot be reoccupied, based on conditions, which, pursuant to 105 CMR 410. 100,
410.220, 410.235 (8) and (15), 410.260, 410.320, 410.430, 410.630 (6), (7), (8), 410.130, 3 10 CMR

system

(8): Failure to provide and maintain adequate exits in case of an emergency
MA Title 5 Sewage Disposal Regulations 310 CMR 15.204: Increases in Design Flow to System
Brewster Private Well Regulations Section 4 (C) (6): Well serving property which is rented or leased
shall be tested a minimum of once every year.
As you have previously been warned on several occasions, you are prohibited from using the
basement for bedroom purposes due to the size and location of your septic system and you are
prohibited from renting any portion of the building according to the Deed Rider held by the Town.
In light of the foregoing and in accordance with 105 CMR 410.100, 410.220, 410.235 (8) and
(15), 410.260, 410.320, 410.430, 410.630 (6), (7), (8), 410.130, 310 CMR 15.000 Title 5 Regulations,
and the Brewster Private Well Regulations Sect. 4 (C) (6), the conditions in the basement unit of the
property are unfit for human habitation and there is a danger to the life and health of the occupants that
is so immediate that no delay may be permitted in the issuance of an order requiring that the premises be
vacated and secured.
I have been informed that your former tenant vacated the premises on November 30, 2023.
Therefore, as a result of the reported conditions, it is hereby ordered that said premises shall not be re-
entered or re -occupied without the prior written permission of the board of health; and further that the
owner shall secure the property within twenty-four hours of receipt of this order.
Please be advised that no person is to occupy the dwelling units in the basement of the property
for any length of time unless and until the conditions cited in this notice have been corrected and
the Board of Health has certified, in writing, that the premises are safe for human habitation.
Please be advised that the Board of Health will consider this matter at its meeting at 6:30 pm on
December 6, 2023 in the Brewster Town Hall and instructions for joining the meeting remotely will be
provided in the Board's meeting notice posted forty-eight hours prior thereto. At said meeting you will
be given an opportunity to be heard and to present witness and documentary evidence as to why this
order should be modified or withdrawn. You may be represented by an attorney. Please be informed that
you have the right to inspect and obtain copies of all relevant inspection or investigation reports, orders,
notices, and other documentary information in the possession of this Board.
This is an important legal document.

Mr. Myles Franklin
94 Belmont Park Road
Brewster, MA 02631
ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST
Dear Mr. Franklin:
Housing Office
Select Board/Town
Administrator's Office
I am writing on behalf of the Town of Brewster Select Board as the enforcement
authority for the conditions of the Affordable Housing Deed Rider (the "Deed Rider") attached
to your property located at 94 Belmont Park Road, Brewster, Massachusetts (the "Property"), as
well as on behalf of the Town's Building Commissioner and Health Director as enforcement
authorities under applicable building and health codes and regulations.
According to the terms of the Deed Rider, you purchased the Property for the exclusive
use as a principal residence for you and members of your household and you are expressly
prohibited from renting or leasing any portion of the Property to any third -party without the prior
written consent of the Town. Also note that under the Deed Rider, you are required to obtain
prior written consent from the Town for other matters such as making capital improvements,
mortgage refinancing or creating other use or title encumbrances. A copy of the Deed Rider is
enclosed herewith for your reference.
It has come to my attention that you are currently renting out one or more portions of the
Property to third parties and that you are marketing the basement for rent through Cape Cod
USA Real Estate. A copy of the listing is enclosed herewith. This is a direct violation of the
Deed Rider.
Further, as a related matter, using the basement as bedrooms is also a violation of
applicable Board of Health and Building Department permits, codes or regulations. Town
building department records indicate that your residence has a total of three (3) permitted
bedrooms; the basement was permitted for finished space but not for bedroom use. A copy of
the Building Department's permit certification for the permitted basement work is enclosed
herewith. Applicable Health codes and regulations would not allow the basement to be
permitted for bedroom use and the number of allowable bedrooms is limited to three on account

Re: Refinance Request for 94 Belmont Park Road
Dear Mr. Franklin,
Offices of:
Town Administration
Housing '
The Town of Brewster has received the refinance request for your home at 94 Belmont Park Road (the
"Property"). As you are aware, the Property is subject to a Deed Rider (the affordable housing restriction)
stating that you may refinance the mortgage on the Property and lease the Properly only with the Town's
prior written consent. The Town has several concerns regarding your request and your non-compliance
with the Deed Rider, and such concerns must be addressed before the Town will consider your request.
The refinancing materials describe your home as containing 4 bedrooms, and the floor plan sketch on
page 22 of the appraisal depicts 4 bedrooms, including a bedroom in the basement. As you know, and the
Board of Health has informed you, the septic system approved for your home allows for only a 2 -
bedroom home. The room in the basement was issued a Certificate of Occupancy as a living room and,
due to the absence of an emergency egress, cannot be used as a bedroom. Additionally, the Town has
been informed that you have leased rooms in your home without the Town's consent, in violation of the
Deed Rider. The Property is not in compliance with the MA Title 5 Sewage Disposal Regulations, the
MA Housing Code, and the Brewster Private Well Regulations. Please see the attached, previously sent,
letters from the Health Department, Building Department, and Housing Office which address these issues.
Given the nature of these serious violations, please contact Donna Kalanick at 508-896-3701, ext. 1130 or
d_kalinick'rr'brewster-ma. ovov or Jill Scalise, ext. 1169, fiscalise Brewster -ma. ov to discuss this situation.
Failure to reach out to the Town in the next 20 days may result in enforcement actions being brought
against you. -

Re: 94 Belmont.Park Road, Deed ridei compliance and refinance requirements
Housing Office
Dear Mr. Franklin,.
It was brought to the Town's attention that an appraiser was appraising your home at 94 Belmont
Park Road as part of a potential refinance of the property: According to the affordable deed rider
for 94 Belmont Park Road, Section 3 "Restrictions Against Leasing, Refinancing and Junior
Encumbrances" (page 5), the property shall not be refinanced without written consent of the
Monitoring Agent. For your. convenience, enclosed are the affordable deed rider and instructions
for refinancing your property from the Department of Housing and Community Development
(DHCD). The monitoring agents for your property are the Town of Brewster and DHCD.
Additionally, the deed rider states that your home shall not be leased or rented without the
written consent of the Monitoring Agent. The Town has also been informed that you are leasing
up'to four rooms, including two basement bedrooms. This appears to be out of compliance with
your deed rider as well as the Town septic requirements and housing code.
Please contact meat 508-896-3701, ext. 1169 or 'scalise .brewster-ma. ov to discuss this
situation. If you are interested in refinancing your property, the Town can work with you on the .
required process.

Re: 94 Belmont Park Road, Identified on Assessor Map 9 Lot 4
Dear Mr. Myles,
It has come to the attention of the Building Department that you are advertising the
renting of a room in your house located at the property noted above. The photo that is shown
with the listing shows that this room is located in the basement. Please be aware that the room
in the basement was permitted and subsequently issued a Certificate of Occupancy as a living
room and due to the absence of emergency egress, shall not be used as a bedroom. Enclosed,
please find a copy of the applicable Certificate of Occupancy. Please understand that this is a
serious safety issue which you need to respect.
If you wish to change this basement living space to a bedroom, you may submit a
Building Permit Application for a Change of Use, which should include a scaled floor plan
indicating fire alarms and emergency egress. A copy of this floor plan should be delivered to
the Health Department as well to ensure that your septic system can absorb the additional load
of an added bedroom.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

1. System will pass unless Board of Health determines in accordance with 310 CMR 15.303(1)(b) that the
system is not functioning in a manner which will protect public health, safety and the environment:
_ Cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of a surface water
_ Cesspool or privy is within 50 feet of a bordering vegetated wetland or a salt marsh
2. System will fail unless the Board of Health (and Public Water Supplier, if any) determines that the
system is functioning in a manner that protects the public health, safety and environment:
_ The system has a septic tank and soil absorption system (SAS) and the SAS is within 100 feet of a
surface water supply or tributary to a surface water supply.
— The system has a septic tank and SAS and the SAS is within a Zone 1 of a public water supply.
_ The system has a septic tank and SAS and.the SAS is within 50 feet of a private water supply well.
The system has a septic tank and SAS and the SAS is less than 100 feet but 50 feet or more from a
private water supply well". Method used to determine distance —.
**This system passes if the well water analysis, performed at a DEP certified laboratory, for coliform
bacteria and volatile organic compounds indicates that the well is free from pollution from that facility and
the presence of ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen is equal to or less than 5 ppm, provided that no other
failure criteria are triggered. A copy of the analysis must be attached to this form.
