City Inspector Gregory Arvanitis says the building at 173-175 Haverhill St. has four apartments, but no building, plumbing, electrical or gas permits on record. He also says there are not enough exits.
The former Frost homestead is now owned by Anchor Baptist Church of Woburn. Lawrence Building Commissioner Peter Blanchette told The Eagle-Tribune of Lawrence that the church has found alternate living arrangements for the building’s three residents.
The city has ordered that all wall partitions, plumbing, gas and electrical fixtures that were installed illegally be removed immediately.
The property manager did not respond to messages seeking comment.
