What MassDEP has recorded
- RTN 3-0031906 — Splaine Park, activity and use limitation, status PSC, class PA, AUL recorded December 10, 2014 · MassDEP file
Within about 500 m (a third of a mile): 3 active tier-classified 21E sites and 10 sites with an Activity and Use Limitation. All MassDEP sites in Salem.
What this means
- Assessed 14% below the median two-family residential in Salem ($655,900, 1,495 parcels).
- 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.
- Built before 1978: the Massachusetts Lead Law applies when a child under six lives there; ask for any lead inspection or letter of compliance.
