Dear Sir:
This letter is in response to the letter we received from the Town of
Montville regarding the property we recently purchased at 23 Pequot Avenue
on February 28th, 1987. Enclosed is a list of the steps we are taking to
make the necessary repairs stated in your letter to us.
1) We are in the process of getting estimates to have a new roof put
on the house within the next few months. We were unaware there
was a problem with the ceiling in the upstairs apartment because
the tenants have not contacted us to report a leak.
2) We have replaced one set of stairs and have started to replace any
broken or cracked boards leading to the upstairs apartment. We
have also put a new front door on the upstairs apartment.
3) On March 1st, 1987 we gave the upstairs tenants thirty days to
remove all unnessary debri from the front and side yard, since
this has not been done, we have hired a garbage removal firm to
come in and dispose of everything properly. We have also asked
the upstairs tenants to remove the two unregistered vehicles from
the yard which has not been done.
4) The kitchen cabinet that the upstairs tenants said fell off the
wall , was thrown out of the apartment by the tenants into the
front yard.
5) The flood in the basement which caused the hot water heater to go
out was over a year ago and since then, a sump-pump has been
installed.
6) When we brought the house on February 28, 1987, the upstairs
tenants on March 1, 1987, gave us thirty days notice that they
would be out. Since then we have served them with an eviction
notice. We have not received rent from the upstairs tenants for
the month of April , 1987. Upon their leaving, we are prepared to
paint and wallpaper the whole apartment and replace the ceiling in
the kitchen.

7) When we purchased the house there were no broken windows which we
knew of. Now that we know there are broken windows we will
replace them accordingly.
8) Also in response to the problem with the septic system/sewer
hookup. In order for us to purchase the house we had to escrow
money with the bank under the stipulation the sewer would be
hooked up as soon as the weather would allow it to be done. We
have a written estimate from Hickey on hooking up the sewer system
for us, which he is in the process of getting ready to do.
Since we have only owned the property for less then two months and were
unaware of all these problems that existed, we have been in the process of
trying to make all necessary repairs within a reasonable and timely manner
and as finances will allow. We will cooperate as fully as possible with
the town of Montville on all the work and repairs needed to be done.
Sincerely
Jo J. DeCarolis
