	Dear Mr. Derrig:
	
	An inspection of the above-referenced property on 12/24/2008 revealed that the structure fails to comply with Section 6-120.1 & 6-120.2 of the Housing Code of the City of Portland.
	
	The following is a list of violations:
		6-120.2 – second floor – inadequate heating supply – boiler not functioning
		6-120.2 – second floor – damaged heat supply pipes due to freezing
		6-120.1 – first floor – severe water damage to ceilings & floors due to frozen heat pipes
6-120.2 – first & second floor – wiring exposed to water damage – a licensed master electrician must evaluate all wiring in the building prior to re- occupancy
	
	Based on that list, and pursuant to Section 6-120.3, this office declares the structure unfit for human habitation.  The structure must remain completely vacated and secured must be secured from vandalism. 
	
	Failure to comply will result in this office referring the matter to the City of Portland Corporation 	Counsel for legal action and possible civil penalties, as provided for in Section 1-15 of the Code in 	Title 30-A of M.R.S.A ss 4452. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss this matter further.
