The progress has been very good and the building is just about weathertite. A question arose regarding the front interior stairways. I understand that originally the plan was to save the stair if possible. The fact that this is a complete renovation(level 3 as defined in the eighth edition of the Building Code) the stairs must comply with the requirements of new construction. The only exception would be the stairway shaft dimensions that already exist. The variations between steps cannot exceed 3/16 of an inch nor can the two flights differ more than 3/8 of an inch. In looking at the existing stairs it does not appear they can be used. If you have any questions, please contact me directly.
