a hipped slate roof.A first floor single story addition was added in 1900's.This will serve as a kitchen and
office area.The building is essentially a four square structure with a centralized stair system.There are
four large rooms located on all three floors with two centralized stair servicing the second floor and a
single centralized stair serving the third floor.A single stair provides access to an existing attic space,
which is to be renovated as a bedroom suite. An existing basement space will unoccupied.

BOARD'S DECISION ON APPEAL
Introduction
This matter came before the State Building Code Appeals Board ("Board") on
AppellanYs appea] application filed pursuant to G.L..c143, §100 and 780 CMR 113.1
("Application"). Appellant sought relief from Section 912.41 of the International Existing I
Building Code(as adopted by the Massachusetts) with respect to converting an existing building
located at 150 Washington Street, Salem, MA 01970 from a bookstore (Business (B)) to an inn
(Residential R-1) ("Appeal").
Procedural History
On or about March 21, 2014, the City of Salem Building Commissioner issued the
following decision:
Afrer looking at the plans submitted, it is clear that the two stairways are
not separated and do not provide the two egress requirement under section 1015
of the eighth edition of the Mass State Building Code.
As a result, the Appeal was filed. I
The Board held a public hearing on April 15, 2014. All interested parties were provided
an opportunity to testify under oath and present evidence to the Board. In attendance: Todd
Waller(Appellant); Dan Ricciarelli (Architect for Appellant); John Seger(Architect for �
Appellant); Michael Luttzzykowski (City of Salem Building Dept.); Norton Remmer (Consultant
for Appellant); (for the Board: Harry F. Smith; Kevin Gallagher; Alexander MacLeod; Board
Clerk: Linda Shea).

The Board also considered the following: (1) State Building Code Appeals Board Appeal
Application (with attachments, including narrative, floor plans, and elevation drawings), received
March 24, 2014.
Discussion and FindinEs
Appellant is the owner of a historic property located at 150 Washington Street in Salem,
MA. The building was built in 1784 and is considered significant for both its architecture and its
history. The buitding contains the last known surviving Samuel McIntyre staircase and paneling,
and it is documented that George Washington stayed on the property in 1789 while on a tour of
the North Shore of Massachusetts. Appellant feels that converting the property to an inn is the
best way to preserve the building inside and out while maintaining a commercial, revenue-
producing property. Section 912.4.1 of the 2009 International Existing Building Code requires
that Group R-1 occupancies, such as this, maintain a relative hazard level of 3 with regards to
life safety and means of egress. ("When a change of occupancy classification is made to a higher
hazard category (lower number) as shown in Table 912.4, the means of egress shall comply with
the requirements of Chapter 10 of the International Building Code." 2009International Existing
Building Code, 912.41. Chapter 10 of IBC is also 780 CMR Chapter 10. Section 1015 covers
"Exit and Exist Access Stairways.) 780 CMR 1015 requires that two exits or exit access
doorways from any space shall be provided where the maximum occupant load is more than 10
for R occupancies . . . Interlocking or scissor stairs shall be counted as one exit stairway. In the
Joshua Ward House, the existing staircases are separated much like a scissor stair; therefore, an
additional staircase would typically be required comply with the applicable Codes.
Appellant stated that he would need a variance in order to maintain the historic attributes
of the building. Specifically, his plans include the construction of a non-code compliant
staircase, which would replicate the original McIntyre staircase, from the second to third floor.
The City stated that neither the Building Department nor the Salem Fire Department
opposed Appellant's plans and would not object to allowing the requested relief.
The Board expressed concern over the lack of a second means of egress from the attic
space, which is slated to be converted into a guest room. AppellanYs consultant argued that the
space, an enclosed mezzanine, is equivalent to code compliant in that it has adequate sprinklers,
it will contain less than 10 occupants, and there is a travel distance of less than 75 feet down to a
space that has two means of egress.
Notwithstanding the determination made by the City that triggered the Appeal, Appellant
clarified, during the hearing session, that Section 912.4.1 of the 2009 International Existing
Building Code was the operative provision from which a variance was being sought. Appellant
represented that the building will have an automatic fire sprinkler system in accordance with
NFPA 13-R.
In addition to the installation of the automatic fire sprinkler system requirement as
represented above, tlte Board also concluded that the requested relief requires the installation of
an ungraded fire alarm system that also reports to the City Fire Department.

including the conditions set forth above ("Motion"). The Motion was approved by a unanimous
vote, and the Appeal was GRANTED.
