What MassDEP has recorded
- RTN 3-0023545 — Richdale Convenience Store, activity and use limitation, status RAO, class A3, AUL recorded June 9, 2010 · MassDEP file
Within about 500 m (a third of a mile): 1 active tier-classified 21E site and 1 site with an Activity and Use Limitation. All MassDEP sites in Essex.
What this means
- Assessed 9% above the median two-family residential in Essex ($830,200, 132 parcels).
- The last sale price is 166% above the current assessment. Massachusetts assessments aim at full market value as of January 1 of the year before the fiscal year.
- 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.
