RE: 27 Orchard Street
Home Owner,
You have asked that this Department review and give a determination regarding requirements for railings
on your porches at your property. A railing is only required to meet the code at the time it was
constructed. In fact the rail in question meets past codes and complies with the current 8`s Edition of the
Massachusetts Building Code which only requires a railing on raised surfaces more 30 inches above the
finished grade. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me.
It is this Departments determination that the porch does not need a guard rail as the height above finished
grade in less than the 30 inches required by the current Massachusetts State Building Code.
This letter is determine the requirement of a rail and in no way meant to confirm or deny whether said
property is in compliance with all Building Department,Plumbing Department, Gas Department,
Electrical Department,Fire Department or Health Department codes and regulations.
Any questions please call our office at 978-619-5648.
Respectfully, i�%%%%�

RE: Loan#00123831365
Schiller Property
To Whom It May Concern:
The Schillers own to separate lots in Salem. Their residence is located at 27 Orchard
Street which is referenced as City of Salem Map#27-Lot#0438.
The parcel they own on 24 Southwick Street is known as Map#27—Lot#0444.
These properties have separate frontage on different City streets and although both are
non-conforming,they have not suffered any merger.
It is my opinion that the lot at 24 Southwick Street can be sold without any zoning action
or any other zoning relief.
Sincereelly�,
