RE: 162 Federal Street(railing)
Dear Mr. Ricciarelli,
We have reviewed your request to allow the interior ornamental stair railing to remain in place. It is my
opinion that the building will be undergoing a level three renovation as described in the IEBC Code. It is
also my opinion that you will need to bring this rail system up to current code during the renovations.
Therefore, I am denying your request.
You may appeal my interpretation of the Code and/or ask for a variance from the code by appealing to
the Board of Buildings, Regulations and Standards Appeal Board. We understand that this project is
subject to Historic tax credits and would not be opposed to the Board's granting of a variance if that is
the Boards opinion.
If you have any questions, please contact me directly.
