because of Iiaving added a tfiird and fourth apartment to z,rhat was at one
time a duplex. He questioned whether the Board should be hearing the
case before this matter iaas cleared up .
1�1r. Skweres said he had talked to Building Inspector Richard Amey, who
checked the tax records and found the property had been taxed as a fou r-
plex� since 1948 . - � �
Frank Staffenson explained that the property could c{ualify for legal -
non-conforming status under these circumstances , but it must be applied for
i�rith the Zoning Board of Appeals to get an official ruling. Air. Staffenson

to make the property meet code , but he would need a variance in order to

the property was of legal, non-conforming status , an d on condition that
all repairs be made to bring it up to code , including enlarging the
window area.
