Dear Mr, Ricciarelli,
After 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. If you feel
you are aggrieved by this interpretation or if you wish to file an appeal of the Building Code, you appeal is to
the Board of Buildings ,Regulations and Standards.

Thomas St.Pierre
Building Commissioner/Director of Inspectional Services
