Description
Dear Assessing Department: I am writing to bring to your attention the following facts regarding the above referenced property that may affect its current tax assessment and any applicable exemptions. 1. EXPIRED CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY Temporary Certificate of Occupancy No. COO1837518 issued April 17, 2026 by the City of Boston Inspectional Services Department expired July 10, 2026. The conditions of the temporary CO have not been met. The property is therefore currently without a valid Certificate of Occupancy and appears to remain occupied. 2. PROPERTY OWNER DOES NOT RESIDE AT THIS ADDRESS The primary property owner, Michael L. James, does not reside at 27-29 Perrin Street. Public records confirm his primary residence is 31 Amelian Road, Randolph MA 02368 as evidenced by a Declaration of Homestead filed at the Norfolk County Registry of Deeds, Book/Page 18050-211, under M.G.L. c. 188 which may only be filed on a primary residence. 3. UNSAFE PROPERTY CONDITIONS The retaining wall at this property is in a severely deteriorated condition with large sections collapsed and unsecured debris piled on site with no safety barriers. Open permits remain unresolved including ALT 11536515, A1806194, A1701831 and SF 1572692. Given that the property has no valid Certificate of Occupancy and the primary owner does not reside there I respectfully request that the Assessing Department review whether any owner occupancy exemptions or residential exemptions currently applied to this property are appropriate under the circumstances.
