Can I use any building in the city of Haverhill for a stable or barn?

No, unless such use is licensed by the Board of Health. You can apply for such a license. None of the animals, rodents, reptiles, fowl, etc. shall be kept within 150 feet of an abutters dwelling. No person shall keep horses, colts, ponies, donkeys, mules or other equines within the limits of the city unless a suitable structure has been licensed for the purpose. No person, whether owner, lessee or occupant of a building used in whole or in part for residential purposes shall be permitted to house therein any of the domestic animals or poultry listed under Section 1 of Article 5, nor other animals or birds not commonly considered household pets.
