What MassDEP has recorded
- RTN 3-0027171 — Ust #2, activity and use limitation, status RAO, class B2, AUL recorded October 23, 2008 · MassDEP file
Within about 500 m (a third of a mile): 2 active tier-classified 21E sites and 13 sites with an Activity and Use Limitation. All MassDEP sites in Boston.
What this means
- Assessed 1811% above the median other congregate housing (includes non-transient shared living arrangements) in Boston ($747,011, 966 parcels).
- The last deed was recorded for a nominal sum: a transfer between family members, into a trust or a similar non-market sale. It says nothing about the market value.
- An Activity and Use Limitation is a deed restriction: it limits how the land may be used (often no residential use or no digging) and passes to every buyer.
