Gentlemen: #667-7A
Please be advised that the "Board of Electricians' Appeals"
has handed down a favorable decision for "LeVangie Electric
Company" with instructions to approve the contested electrical
work. . . . (See enclosure - 3 pages dated 14 Nov. '89).
In review (of the decision) with Mr. J. J. Giardi, I have been
informed this date, that the Wire Inspector will exercise his
right to appeal (within 30 days). . . .
Mr. Giardi has agreed to meet with me, to "Sign off" the
electrical work (maybe by 23 Nov. '89) rather than create a
"Hardship" to Salem Housing Authority. . . .
I will endeavor to coordinate the Sign off with a meeting of
the Building Department to expedite the issuance of "Certificates
of Occupancy". . . .
I will advise you of any other delays or events as they develop.
Very truly yours,

I. State e t of the Case
A. N to a of the Proceeding
hii proceedingg was heard by the Board of
le tricians ' A eels (the Board) on Monday, September
51 1989 at 11 :00 A.M. in Room 10D Leverett Saltonstall
ui ding, 100 Cambridge Street, Boston, Massachusetts,
ur uant to its authority under M.G.L. c. 1439 s. 3P
nd M.G.L. c. 30A9 sa. 10 and 11 . The proceeding was
ra ght before the Board by LeVangie Electric Company
(Le angie ) , 978 Washington Street , Weymouth, Massachusetts,
to fetermine if a notice rendered by John J.Giardi ,
ins ector of Wires for the City of Salem was in con-
for ity with the Massachusetts Electrical Code#
527 CMR 12.00 at seq. The Aepellant , LeVangie, re-
quested that the Board exercise it authority to reverse
the ruling by the Inspector of Wires.
B. lismry of the Proceedinit
eVgie was engaged to install wirin4 at 3 Broad Street,
Salled
, Massachusetts. Included in this wiring were kitchen
ouer receptacles, some of which are over the counter
pa , some of which are not . Each of these receptacles
s with a separate 20-Ampere Branch Circuit. This
se reason for the the interpretation of the intent
fticle 220-4b-2# of the Massachusetts Electrical
ode , 527 CMR 12.00.
ohi J. Giardi Inspector of Wires , City of Salem,
er ed notice In the form of a letter dated
ug st 21 , 1989 to Mr. Stephen LeVangie, listing viola-
io of Article 220-4b-2 of the Massachusetts Electrical
ode, 527 CMR 12.00 as stated above. No other violations
er cited at this time.
n ugust 23, 1989 LeVangie requested in writing a hearing
of re the Board on the ruling made by John J. Giardi and
ub itted the required fee.
Ii. Conclusion of Law
i[ u animous consent of the Board on October 23, 19899
was so
! J _-' II - i : IJ JC Gl _31 x:43 LV .-"fJUIL tL L I GII_ U. IIY l,. VVI 1`11.14
2
F rt
VC TEDt
That under the Board' s interpretation, the intent of
Article 220-4b-2 is met as the counter spaces are
small in width and therefore only require one recep-
tacle. Furthermore, if only one recepptacle is re-
gired , it need only be fed with one 20-Ampere Branch
Circuit . There are other circuits installed in the
kitchen area which are on other 20-Ampere Branch
Circuits thus satisfying the requirements of
Article 120-4b-2.
III . Con 1 jhr
The B concludes that it is not the intent of Article
220-4 )-2hat two circuits be connected to one receptacle
out e t that if more than one outlet is installed over
the k an counter, that a minimum of two circuits be required
for tiesoutlets. Therefore, the Board upholds the appeal of
LeV nIf
lectric Company and hereby orders Mr. John J.
Gia d approve this portion of the work.

Gentlemen,
At the request of the Contractor and in accordance'with the intent of Section 127 of the
State Building Code, we have made an inspection of unit apartment numbers 203,
204,205 and 207 on the second floor of the subject project., and common areas
101 ,102,103,104, 105 (rear vestibule), and 106 on the first floor. From that inspection
on 31 March 1989 it is our opinion that, to the best of our knowledge, the areas noted
are in substantial conformance with the contract drawings and applicable provisions of
the Massachusetts State Building Code and that installation of wallboard may
continue, to close up partitions and ceilings in these areas. .
We note that the Contractor is not satisfied with the drying out of the sprayed on
insulation at exterior walls and will not close these up at this time.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mrs Munroe:
air
I have reviewed the plans and specifications for the
proposed congregates ire
housing at #3 Broad Street, and have conferred with Assistant Building
Inspector Mr: Steve Santry relative to the occupancy class of the
Pi W
use, and offer the following comments and/or conditions of approval:,,t
1. The proposed use of the building has been determined by
to be that of a Group Nome as defined by Article 424.1 of the KR
Massachusetts State Building Code: ,f„ �<
r
",NO
"In determining the classification for proposed use, group 'kssy3a 1„
residence shall not be construed as being similar in any way to atYs
multi-family dwelling, two-family dwelling; boarding house,
lodging house, dormitory, hotel, school or institution of an
hind. For building code purposes, it shall be treated as ayeak
single-family residential building.
The Salem Fire Department reserves the right to an opiniongfrom
the State Building Code Commission relative to the clasaificaHoh f � S
of the proposed use of this propertyi
Attached is a copy of the code revision proposal form dated. Malcw
13, 1987, the intention of which was to place within theA �
Massachusetts State Building Code a definition of a congregate
dwelling unit and to define the applicable use group
classification. The request for an opinion from the Building
Code Commission stems from the confusion g
generated by conflictin a
opinions relative to classification. ?' '•"
2. The building is of Type III"Construction (Exteriori'Protectedh' i
Combustfble)i ., :`k x ti xKSM t3f" U i k
s,
Ul
wsa iP #xr��y exp
4{y'T -sj}-
V.
3. Should thia building fall under an "R-2" classification as
outlined in the code revision proposal, the basement area of
building shall be protected by a system of automatic aprinkIeta,, -
as per Massachusetts State Building Code Article 1202.13 whereasg ° KF '�"a5 � a
the area of the basement exceeds 2,500 square feet.
The installation of the sprinkler system shall be in accordance � �r��y `hy
with the provisions of NFPA 13 (Standard for the Installation of
Sprinkler Systems) and Massachusetts State Building Code Article s r '
1204.0 (Water Sprinkler Systems).
AAS•+4 tse tr .
5. The installation of the standpipe system shall be in accordance# z
with the provisions of NFPA 14 (Standard for the Installation
Standpipe and Hose Systems), and Massachusetts State Building cr
Code Article 1211.0 (SLandpihe Systems). The standpipe system < + '?V`��`<F
shall be Class III with National Standard 2-1/2 inch thread andr
Iron Pipe 1-1/2 inch thread. It shall be noted that the supplyt,xktp4
for such standpipe system shall be sufficient to maintain a k I
t
residual pressure of sixty-five (65) pounds per square inch " t
the topmost outlet of each standpipe with five hundred (500) 5
gallons per minute flowing.
6. Site access: The proposed building cannot be accessed from all Fl;°sul , t,
sides by fire department apparatus. Inadequate attention to site `tfi
details can place this building in an unnecessarily vulnerable
position. If the building's fire defenses are compromised by x.`, 'd t �+ + ;g
preventing adequate fire department access, the loss Ihould,be
compensated by a more adequate system of internal building ,
protection:
7. The demolition contractor "shall file for a demolition permit with
the Salem Fire Prevention Bureau.
"
8. A system smoke detector shall be added to the parlor/libr'aikas�.
per notes of Jos. Carroll on 4/1/88i
i �
9. A rate of rise heat detector shall be added within sitz(6) feet
of the entrance door to unit. 42,04, as per',notes of Jos+ CV I1% r . .
10 A rate of rise heat detector shall be added to toilet area .#203a + `�
as per notes of Jos. Carroll on 4/1/88:
11i Fire extinguishers shall be located as required by 527 Code .ofi f, v

.. ..z.v $U ufu::Ay .t. e;•vT:I' f..., .. �' ,6
System smoke detectors shall be substituted for system heat „•
detectors throughout the basement area as shown on ;basement
drawings as per notes of Jos. Carroll on 9/1/88 nv,''- ` fl # +fix l •` '•
It should be noted that this building was formerly used as a school'and
currently protected by a complete system of automatic sprinklers. They"
proposed use represents a change in existing use as defined by the i a
Massachusetts State Building Code Section 105.0 and shall comply, with the
provisions of Article 22 of the Code.
Adequate life safety design for a building is often related only tory,.r,
W
compliance with the minimum requirements of local building regulations. a
This may or may not provide sufficient occupant
Y Y 1 p protection, depending Upon ,tfi�wt�•` sf �: ,
the particular building function and occupant activities. s ,,-,0�t!Vr
Conscious incorporation of fire safety into buildings is too frequently' a� zi ;r
given minimal attention by the designer, and building designers are >
content, as are their clients, to meet tiie minimum safety standards of the y ni e3 ate
building code. It is often incorrectly assumed that the codes provide :<
completely adequate measures rather than the minimum. A r r'f� � Kf
The approach to building design requires a familiarity with the reaction
of people in fire emergencies. These reactions can differ widely
y q Y9 Y•+;
depending upon the physical and mental capabilities and conditions of I
building occupants.
Sufficient means of egress cannot provide adequate protection in
occupancies where occupants are confined or are physically or;,mentally a !4. +r
unable to escape without effective and immediate assistance. it the
economic cost of fire safety is judged to be prohibitive, the occupanq,Y or ;, tfx `xahw, a�G 4
the structure should be changed or prohibited because there is no ";�z yJ =Te
c d 3r
justification for subjecting building occupants to an unreasonable level ,�1' k
of peril from a fire. Iff

Re : 3 Broad Street
Dear Mr. Levangie :
Please be advised , I cannot give you final approval because of a
problem that exists in the kitchen area of the dwelling units .
Th.e requirements of the National and 1987 Massachusetts Electrical
Code , which states "Countertop receptacle outlets installed in the kit-
chen shall be supplied by not less than two small appliance branch cir-
cuits " . The article I am referring to is Article 220-4B-2 . My inter-
pretation of this article would say that you shall have a minimum of
two small appliance branch circuits available at the main countertop .

Salem, MA 01970
RE: Salem Housing, 3 Broad Street
Dear Mr. Santry,
We reply to your letter of 22 February on the subject project and discussion of it at your
office 27 February .
The action of the sprinklers at the grade floor protection was explained in our letter of
yesterday on the Bridge Street project and will be the same at Broad Street.
Regarding your interpretation of dwelling unit separation, we find code references
which we believe take precedence over a concept of the complete perimeter of the
dwelling unit being "dwelling unit separation."
1. If the intent of item7, "Dwelling unit separations" in Table 214, was to include
all partitions surrounding a dwelling unit the Code would state "dwelling unit
enclosures,"as in item 4 ".....enclosure of exitways, exitway hallways and stairways."
2. If all four walls are part of a one hour separation then the exterior wall
windows would require opening protectives. Section 914.1 however exempts use
group R-2 from this requirement.
3. With respect to the corridors, enclosure is emphasised in Section 610.4,
"Enclosures: All corridors serving as exitway access shall be enclosed in fire
separation walls having a fire resistance of at least one (1) hour when serving an
occupancy load greater than thirty (30)". By Note j in Table 214, access corridors
serving less than thirty are exempted from a one hour rating.
From these items the Code seems consistant in considering exterior walls for certain
requirements and exemptions and similarily corridor walls for certain requirements
and exemptions, and that dwelling unit separations are yet another element
considered independently of the exterior enclosure or corridor enclosures.
We respectfully request your consideration of the intent of the Code that dwelling unit
separations refer to the separation of one dwelling unit from another dwelling unit and
not the enclosure of a dwelling unit from all other spaces.

Dear Mr. Santry,
Further to our last discussion we enclose sketches ASK 5 & 6 illustrating sprinkler
isolation of the subject stair well based on Article 437, "Open Wells", of the Mass.
Building Code.
We note that Section 437.1 states "Open wells ...shall be permitted in all buildings
other than use group H.
437.1.2 The open well spaces may be used for any approved use when the individual
space is provided with an approved fire suppression system.
437.1.3.1 An atrium (open well) connecting not more than three levels may contain an
exitway as permitted by 616.10.
616.10 ...may be permitted without enclosure or protection between such areas
provided all conditions described below are met:
1. the lowest level ...is a street floor.
2. the entire area...is sufficiently open to be assumed that a fire...in any part will
be immediately obvious..
3. egress capacity is simultaneously sufficient for all occupants of all levels...
4. each floor level...has at least 1/2 of its required egress capacity provided by
an exitway leading out of that area without being exposed to the spread of fire
or smoke therefrom.
437.3.1 An appropriate draft stop shall be installed at each story of the floor opening.
Automatic sprinklers shall be provided around the perimeter of the opening... The
distance between sprinklers shall not exceed six feet center to center.
I would like to discuss this with you next Friday, Feb. 24 at 1 :00 P.M. In the meantime
if you have questions please call.
Yours sincerely,

RE; Salem=Housing, Broad Street y `a "'
Dear Mr. Santry,
We reply to some questions raised with the contractor during your recent walk through
of the project and per our discussion today.
Our interpretation of the Mass. Building Code requirements applicable to this alteration
are as follows;
1. The occupancy / use is R-2, residential multi-family.
2. The building construction is Type 3C,. (Exterior masonry walls, ordinary
joisted, unprotected.)
3. The area of the building (within enclosing walls) is 3,470 sq. ft.
4. Table 305 indicates 9,600 sq. ft. allowable for a two-story building of this
construction type and occupancy use.
5. Fire resistance ratings are indicated in Table 214 and its footnotes as
follows:
Exterior bearing walls - 2 hrs.
Fire enclosure of exitways, stairways (Note f) - 1 hr.
Exitway access corridors (Note j) - 0 hrs.
Vertical separation of tenant spaces - 0 hrs.
Dwelling unit separations - 1 hr.
Other non-bearing partitions - 0 hrs.
Interior bearing walls, columns, girders, etc. - 0 hrs.
Floor construction including beams - 0 hrs.
Roof construction - 0 hrs.
Note; Section 905.7, Grade Floor Protection, requires that in this non-fireproof
construction, at the basement the floor-ceiling assemblies and supports below
the grade floor shall be protected by one of the following methods:
1 . fireresistance rating of not less than one (1) hour, or
2. heavy mill (Type 3A) construction, or
3. automatic fire suppression system.
Automatic sprinklers are being provided at the basement as the selected
method.
r
page two
Steve Santry, 14 Feb. 1989
From the above references we believe the contractor's concerns are answered as
follows;
1. The dutch doors as entries to each apartment need have no rating as they
occur in access corridor partitions which have 0 hrs. rating.
2. Similarly the wood frames for these doors need have no rating.
3. Similarly borrow lights in these partitions need have no rating.
The open stair well #1 by the elevator has no smoke wall at the top of the stair. As you
and I discussed, I shall forward further information on this to you for your review.
I am informing the contractor of these matters by copy of this letter. Should you have
further concerns on any of these items please call.
Yours sincerely,
THE ARCHITECTS COLLABORATIVE INC.

Dear Joe,
As you are aware, both of the above referenced projects are under
Chapter 127, construction control. Construction control requires bi-weekly
reports which we have not received.
We also have not received certified plot plans of each project showing
any increase in foot print and dimensions of set backs.
There are some other documents that you owe to this department as we
discussed the last time we talked.
Please bring these reports and plans up to date before October 31 , 1988.

Dear Mr. Munroe:
I have reviewed the plans.and specifications for the proposed congregate
housing at .1#3 Broad_Street.as submitted by Mr. Joseph Carroll for the
Architects Collaborative.—I- have failed to approve these plans based upon
the following criteria:
1. The proposed use of the building is "Congregate Housing",
classified as a "Residential Board and Care Occupancy" by
N.F.P.A. 101 Life Safety Code.
2. The anticipated occupancy of this building is comprised of
elderly residents incapable of evacuation equivalent to the
capability of the general population.
3. The building is of Type III Construction (Exterior Protected
Combustible).
4. The use group for the proposal falls under Group I-2.
(This use group shall include all buildings used for housing
people suffering from physical limitations because of health or
age, including among others day nurseries, hospitals,
sanitariums, clinics, infirmaries, orphanages, and homes for the
aged and infirm.)
5. The plans submitted for approval lack provision for a system of
automatic sprinklers.
6. Site access: The proposed building cannot be accessed from all
sides by fire department apparatus. Inadequate attention to site
details can place this building in an unnecessarily vulnerable
position. If the building's fire defenses are compromised by
preventing adequate fire department access, the loss should be
compensated by a more adequate system of internal building
protection.
It should be noted that this building was formerly used as a school and is
currently protected by a complete system of automatic sprinklers. The
proposed use represents a change in existing use as defined by the
Massachusetts State Building Code Section 105.0 and shall comply with the
provisions of Article 22 of the Code.
Adequate life safety design for a building is often related only to
compliance with the minimum requirements of local building regulations.
This may or may not provide sufficient occupant protection, depending upon
the particular building function and occupant activities.
Conscious incorporation of fire safety into buildings is too frequently
given minimal attention by the designer, and building designers are
content, as are their clients, to meet the minimum safety standards of the
building code. It is often incorrectly assumed that the codes provide
completely adequate measures rather than the minimum.
The approach to building design requires a familiarity with the reaction
of people in fire emergencies. These reactions can differ widely
depending upon the physical and mental capabilities and conditions of
building occupants.
Sufficient means of egress cannot provide adequate protection in
occupancies where occupants are confined or are physically or mentally
unable to escape without effective and immediate assistance. If the
economic cost of fire safety is judged to be prohibitive, the occupancy or
the structure should be changed or prohibited because there is no
justification for subjecting building occupants to an unreasonable level
of peril from a fire.
It is my professional opinion that the building design as presented fails
to provide the necessary level of protection to the occupants and
represents a step backwards in providing safe, quality housing for the
elderly in Salem.

RE: �3_B or ad-St� Congregate Housing
205 Bridge St . , Elderly Housing
Dear Joe,
Pursuant to our recent telephone conversations regarding the above re-
ferenced projects, this office knows of no reason at the present time that
building permits cannot be issued. We are now in the process of issueing
these permits, as there will be sixteen ( 16) permits issued for 3 Broad St.
and thirty five (35) permits issued for 205 Bridges street, it will be a
few days before they can be picked up.
It is our opinion that both buildings will be in Use Group R and de-
signated R-2 use, therefore both buildings will have sprinklered basements.
I have based my opinion of the R-2 use classification at. 3 Broad Street on
your code consultants report (Rolf Jensen & Associates, Inc.of June 23, 1987) ,
and on a copy of code revision proposal (201 .3 General Definations, dwelling
unit congregate) that I received from the State Board of Building Regulations
and Standards on December 22, 1987, also on my understanding that all other
congregate housing projects in the Commonwealth have been R-2 use classified.
I am in receipt of your letter dated April 5, 1988 and realize that there
are some procedural matters that will be resolved by you as soon as possible.
Please do not hesitate to call if I may be of further assistance.

Dear Mr. Santry:
Following our conversation yesterday, we took the following actions
in order to clear up any remaining issues concerning the Salem
Housing Projects before the Thursday deadline for State Notice of
Award to the low bidders.
I. We met with Mr. Turner yesterday afternoon and received
approval for the 3 Broad Street project. A letter from Mr.
Turner is being forwarded to your office. Mr. Turner has
previously reviewed and approved 205 Bridge Street.
II. Please refer to your letter of March 17. Our action on the
items are listed below:
A. Routing Slip
/ 1 . I went to the Assessors Department following our
meeting with Mr. Turner yesterday. I was told by that
Department that I needed to submit a building permit
with a plot plan. Therefore, they would not sign the
routing slip. I will submit building permits with plot
plans for both buildings when the permit is issued.
The Assessors Department also corrected the street
address to 205 Bridge Street.
✓2. The Planning Department has signed the routing slip.
1/3. Mr. Turner has signed 205 Bridge Street and will sign 3
// Broad Street.
/4. Department of Public Services - George Whitten has
VVVVVV signed 3 Broad Street and will sign 205 Bridge Street
when the Salem Redevelopment Authority provides him
with the Letter of Agreement that the SRA will use the
money from the sale of the land for sidewalk, etc.
repair around the site. The letter is available in the
Planning Department but the copier was broken yesterday
afternoon.

. . . .as a very favorite English professor used to say. . . ."Fools
venture, where angels fear to tread."
Well, no one has ever called me an angel, and I seem to have
something on my shoes. . . .
Therefore, allow me to apologize for having accepted verbal
orders, as I confirm the following:
Your order per phone call at +/- 9:OOa.m. April 3, 1989 to make
changes at reference job (see enclosure-4 copies) has been
aumended by your phone call at +/- 11:45a.m. this date. . . .
Please allow me to point out that such stupidity on my part will
not happen again. . . .
Now, with all apologies tended to allow me to bring you up to date
with our new progress schedule. . . .
All doors (as approved) will be machined and prehung, delivered to
job - Monday, April 17, 1989 with installation to start on Tuesday,
April 18, 1989.
Time and Material will be recorded daily for revised conditions
indicated on second floor at Stair No. One as indicated on enclosure
(revised) ASK-5. . . .
Please be advised that this office will have to request a Change
Order to close down the project and ask for reimbursement to protect
the structure if completion is further delayed due to failure of
the Owners, Designers, or State Guardians of the wealth to come to
an understanding of the Massachusetts General Laws and the State
Building Code. . . .
April 4, 1989 Page 2 of 2.
The Architects Collaborative, Inc.
Please be advised that all ORDERS to change the project Specified
and Designed Concepts must be delivered, in writing to this office.
RCL Co. , Inc. is performing as "General Contractor" to the Salem
Housing Authority under the "Control Construction" Chapter No. 127
direction of the "Prime Designer": TAC, Cambridge, MA. and must
point out that the Time Frame of this project has been badly bent
out of proportion.
At the present time our Completion date of ninety (90) days is
adaquate to provide the finished product you desire. But,
completion can not be accomplished without Certified Plan for
approved encroachment upon a Fire Lane Right of Way, nor the
balance of shop drawings and selections needed from your office.
Very truly yours,

INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
The Architects Collaborative (Client) is designing the
renovation of an existing school and the construction of a new
three-story building to provide housing for the elderly. Rolf
Jensen & Associates (Consultant ) has been asked by The
Architects Collaborative to do research and provide an opinion
regarding code requirements for the installation of automatic
sprinklers in either of the buildings .
According to the Client , because the Elderly Housing Units will
be funded by the State, special requirements are incorporated
in the design. The State specifies it will not incorporate
into the design anything that the Massachusetts State Code
would not require. Therefore, only the requirements of the
Massachusetts State Code will apply.
PERTINENT INFORMATION
The Architects Collaborative has supplied the following
information to Rolf Jensen & Associates . This information is
assumed to be correct in the findings stated in this report.
1 . The applicable code : Massachusetts State Building
Code, 4th Edition
2 . Area of each of the buildings
3. Construction types of each of the buildings
4 . Occupancy type of each of the buildings : R-2
Rolf Jensen & Associates has not been asked to address any
other design feature of the building except for the
requirements of automatic sprinkler protection. Therefore, it
is assumed that all other features of the building comply with
- 11. State and Local requirements .
The Salem Elderly Housing Units Page 2 - W5554
Automatic Sprinkler Requirements June 23, 1987
OLIVER SCHOOL - BUILDING 667-7A
DESCRIPTION
Building 667-7A is an existing building which is two-stories in
height . The building will be renovated, however, it will
remain two stories in height with an unoccupied basement . The
total area will be 11, 322 square feet with the area of the
largest floor being 3,774 square feet . The building will be
Type 4B ( unprotected frame) construction.
This building ' s occupancy qualified as congregate housing as
specified in Section 424, The Massachusetts State Code . There
will be a maximum of 16 residents within the building .
CODE REQUIREMENTS
Article 3, Table 305 of the Code specifies the maximum area and
height of all buildings and structures, between exterior walls,
as governed by the type of construction and the use-group
classification . However, because this building is an existing
building and is not increased in height or area, this Table
does not apply. Therefore, automatic sprinklers are not
required within the existing building to obtain increases in
area or height requirements for the structure. However , the
existing building of Type 4B construction would meet the
requirements for construction type of a new building with an
R-2 Occupancy Type.
Section 424 of the Massachusetts State Code, Section on Group
Residences, specifies the requirements for this building.
Section 424 .2 . 1 allows existing buildings of Type 4B
Construction to be converted to group residences regardless of
height . This Section does require "fire warning systems" , but
not automatic sprinklers.
The final section pertaining to the conversion of an existing
building is Article 22 of the Massachusetts State Building
Code. The provisions of that Article apply to repair ,
Iteration and/or addition to : :icting buildings . The
i)cen assumed :
The Salem Elderly Housing Units Page 3 - W5554
Automatic Sprinkler Requirements June 23, 1987
2 . There are no outstanding notices of violation or other
order of the building official which will not be
corrected with the proposed work .
The alteration of the Oliver School is classified in Article 22
as a changing of use group to a use-group of lesser hazard
index number . This applies because the hazard index is reduced
by changing from the current A-4 Occupancy ( hazard index = 4 )
to congregate housing (hazard index = 2 ) .
Section 2203 of Article 22 contains the requirements for the
change to a use-group of equal or lesser hazard. This Section
does require the installation of fire alarm systems and several
other emergency systems . However , it does not specifically
require the installation of automatic sprinklers .
Section 2203 . 2 of Article 22 states that requirements exceeding
those required for new construction may be reduced or removed,
in part or completely, if not required by this Code for new
construction. Therefore, the partially sprinklered portions of
the building may have the sprinklers removed provided they are
not within storage and workshop areas of the building or within
the cellar or basement . Storage and workshop areas or
sprinklered cellars or basements are required to remain
sprinklered if they are currently sprinklered, because these
areas in new buildings are required to be sprinklered by
Section 1202 . 12 and 1202 . 13 . However , individual storage or
workshop areas located entirely within the dwelling unit are
not required to remain sprinklered.
BUILDING 667-7B
DESCRIPTION
Building 667-7B is three stories in height with an unoccupied
basement . The total area of the building is 31, 245 square feet
with an area of 7, 811 square feet per floor.
The building will be of Type 4A protected frame construction.

The Salem Elderly Housing Units Page 4 - W5554
Automatic Sprinkler Requirements June 23, 1987
CODE REQUIREMENTS
Table 305 of the Massachusetts State Code specifies the maximum
area and height of all buildings and structures as governed by
the type of construction and the use-group classification. For
an R-2 Occupancy of Type 4A construction the height of the
building is limited to three stories and 40 feet, and the area
of the building is limited to 10,200 square feet per floor .
Because the building is greater than one story in height, this
area must be reduced by 20 percent . Therefore, the maximum
area per floor for a three-story R-2 Occupancy of Type 4A
Construction is 8, 160 square feet per floor . Because Building
667-7B is only 7, 811 square feet per floor and is not greater
than three stories in height , automatic sprinklers are not
required to obtain the allowable area and height increases due
to automatic fire suppression installation.
Article 12 of the Massachusetts State Building Code details the
requirements for Fire Protection Systems . Section 1202 of this
Article states where fire protection systems are required . No
requirements are specified for complete automatic sprinkler
installation of R-2 (Residential ) occupancies . However,
requirements are stated for storage and workshop areas within
these buildings which are not entirely located within a
dwelling unit . Also, requirements are stated for the
installation of automatic sprinklers in cellars or basements
which exceed 2 ,500 square feet in area.
CONCLUSION
The Massachusetts State Building Code contains no requirements
for the installation of automatic sprinklers throughout R-2
Occupancies. Certain areas within these structures may require
the installation of automatic sprinklers, however , the entire
structure is not required to be sprinklered by the
Massachusetts State Building Code.

JOB MEETING NOTES qt on

JOB: Salem Elderly Housing Job $ 85013 CITY OF
S<\L't ?ihS5.
DATE: 3 December 1987
PRESENT: Bob Turner (Salem Fire Department)
Steve Santry (Salem Building Department)
Elaine Hart, Steve Zisson (Salem Housing Authority)
Michael Dee (M.L. Dee &, Assoc. )
Joe Carroll (TAC)
I. 667-7A Oliver School Renovation
After a presentation of the drawings, the following comments
were made:
1. Mr. Turner stated that he was unsure if "Congregate Housing"
should be classified under Section 424 - Group Residence or
under Institutional I-2. He requested that Mr. Santry of
the Building Department review the drawings and the code and
advise the Fire Department as to which classification was
appropriate.
2. Mr. Turner questioned the report prepared by Rolf Jensen &
Associates (Code Consultants to TAC) with regard to the
decrease in the hazard index. Mr. Turner stated that the
most recent use of the building was for offices for the
Recreation Department rather than as a school (assembly
occupancy) as stated in the report. TAC to review this
question and respond.
3. Mr. Turner asked why it was necessary to remove the existing
sprinklers from the building. I responded due to the near
complete gutting of the building required for this
conversion, saving the sprinklers would be nearly
impossible. Mr. Zisson also remarked that the existing
system is probably beyond repair given its age and length of
inactivity.
4. I reviewed for those present the position of the State
regarding the sprinkler issue. The position simply stated
is that EOCD has an agreement with the City of Salem to
provide funds for the construction of elderly housing and in
return for that funding the city has agreed to both waive
permit fees and not require any construction which is above
and beyond the State of Massachusetts Building Code.

5. Mr. Turner responded that first of all he felt permit fees
could not be waived. He also stated that the primary
responsibility of those involved in the project was to
promote the safety of the occupants and that the cost of the
sprinklers as a percentage of the overall construction cost
was justified given the substantial improvements in safety
that would be realized. A short discussion then took place
regarding either a meeting with EOCD officials to discuss
the issue or the possibility of proceeding with the bidding
of the job and including the sprinklers as an add
alternative to the bid. All parties present agreed to try
to resolve the issue quickly in order to allow the project
to move ahead into the bidding phase.
6. Mr. Dee reviewed the location of standpipes, heat and smoke
detectors, the location of the siamese connection, type of
heating system, removal of existing oil tanks, and
connection of the fire alarm system into the city loop.
Additional comments by the Building and/or Fire Departments
will be made following the determination of building
classification by Mr. Santry.
7. A short discussion was held concerning the interstitial
space which will be approximately 2'-0" high between the
existing ceilings and the new hung ceilings. These spaces
are not currently shown having either sprinklers or smoke
detectors.
8. The site plan was reviewed for clearances for fire fighting
equipment. Although it appears that entrance drive off
Broad Street is acceptable, there may be tight clearances in
the rear due to the parking layout of 1 Broad Street. Mr.
Turner to review and comment. Mr. Turner also stated that
this building was not within the Central Fire District.
9. A complete set of drawings and a copy of the Rolf Jensen
Code Review will be sent to both the Building and Fire
Departments along with meeting notes.

II 667-7B - Bridge and Ash
After a presentation of the drawings, the following comments
were made:
1. Mr. Turner stated that this parcel was within the Central
Fire District of the city. He said that he believed Type 4A
construction was not permitted within the fire limits. We
review Mass. State Building Code Section 302.2 and
determined that Type 4A construction is permitted provided
that the building is in compliance with Tables 214 and 305
and located in accordance with the requirements of Table 302.
2. Having determined that 4A construction was permitted on the
site, it was agreed that sprinklers are not required for
this building according to the Code.
3. Michael Dee reviewed the siamese connection location And the
location of the standpipes with Mr. Turner. Mr. Turner
stated that he would like both 2 1/2" and 1 1/2" valves on
the standpipes but no hose need be provided.
II 667-7B - Bridge and Ash (cont.)
4. Michael Dee reviewed the fire alarm risers including the
location of the pull stations. The system will be wired
into the city loop.
Also reviewed were the type of heating system and the
location of heat and smoke detectors. Because the existing
drawings currently show sprinklers, the Fire Protection
Drawings need to be revised to locate additional detectors.
5. A complete set of drawings will be forwarded to both the
Building and Fire Departments for review along with the
meeting notes. A request was made that if during their
review of the drawings any other items of concern arose, the
departments would contact the architect for clarification.

City of Salem
Mr. William H. Munroe,
Inspector of Buildings
-One Salem Green
Salem, Ma 01970
Dear Mr. Munroe:
I have reviewed the plans and specifications for the proposed congregate
housing at #3 Broad Street as submitted by Mr. Joseph Carroll for the
Architects Collaborative. I have failed to approve these plans based upon
the following criteria:
1. The proposed use of the building is "Congregate Housing", .
classified as a "Residential Board and Care Occupancy" by
N.F.P.A. 101 Life Safety Code.
2. The anticipated occupancy of this building is comprised of
elderly residents incapable of evacuation equivalent to the
capability of the general population.
3. The building is of Type III Construction (Exterior Protected
Combustible).
4. The use group for the proposal falls under Group I-2.
(This use group shall include all buildings used for housing
people suffering from physical limitations because of health or
age, including among others day nurseries, hospitals,
sanitariums, clinics, infirmaries, orphanages, and homes for the
aged and infirm.)
5. The plans submitted for approval lack provision for a system of
automatic sprinklers.
6. Site access: The proposed building cannot be accessed from all
sides by fire department apparatus. Inadequate attention to site
details can place this building in an unnecessarily vulnerable
position. If the building's fire defenses are compromised by
preventing adequate fire department access, the loss should be
compensated by a more adequate system of internal building
protection.
It should be noted that this building was formerly used as a school and is
currently protected by a complete system of automatic sprinklers. The
proposed use represents a change in existing use as defined by the
Massachusetts State Building Code Section 105.0 and shall comply with the
provisions of Article 22 of the Code.
Adequate life safety design for a building is often related only to
compliance with the minimum requirements of local building regulations.
This may or may not provide sufficient occupant protection, depending upon
the particular building function and occupant activities.
Conscious incorporation of fire safety into buildings is too frequently
given minimal attention by the designer, and building designers are
content, as are their clients, to meet the minimum safety standards of the
building code. It is often incorrectly assumed that the codes provide
completely adequate measures rather than the minimum.
The approach to building design requires a familiarity with the reaction
of people in fire emergencies. These reactions can differ widely
depending upon the physical and mental capabilities and conditions of
building occupants.
Sufficient means of egress cannot provide adequate protection in
occupancies where occupants are confined or are physically or mentally
unable to escape without effective and immediate assistance. If the
economic cost of fire safety is judged to be prohibitive, the occupancy or
the structure should be changed or prohibited because there is no
justification for subjecting building occupants to an unreasonable level
of peril from a fire.
It is my professional opinion that the building design as presented fails
to provide the necessary level of protection to the occupants and
represents a step backwards in providing safe, quality housing for the
elderly in Salem.

City of Salem
Mr. William H. Munroe,
Inspector of Buildings
One Salem Green
Salem, Ma 01970
Dear Mr. Munroe:
I have reviewed the plans and specifications for the proposed congregate
housing at #3 Broad Street as submitted by Mr. Joseph Carroll for the
Architects Collaborative. "I have failed to approve these plans based upon
the following criteria:
1. The proposed use of the building is "Congregate Housing",
classified as a "Residential Board and Care Occupancy" by
N.F.P.A. 101 Life Safety Code.
2. The anticipated occupancy of this building is comprised of
elderly residents incapable of evacuation equivalent to the
capability of the general population.
3. The building is of Type III Construction (Exterior Protected
Combustible).
4. The use group for the proposal falls under Group I-2.
(This use group shall include all buildings used for housing
people suffering from physical limitations because of health or
age, including among others day nurseries, hospitals,
sanitariums, clinics, infirmaries, orphanages, and homes for the
aged and infirm.)
5. The plans submitted for approval lack provision for a system of
automatic sprinklers.
6. Site access: The proposed building cannot be accessed from all
sides by fire department apparatus. Inadequate attention to site
details can place this building in an unnecessarily vulnerable
position. If the building's fire defenses are compromised by
preventing adequate fire department access, the loss should be
compensated by a more adequate system of internal building
protection.
• ,r
aJ .
It should be noted that this building was formerly used as a school and is
currently protected by a complete system of automatic sprinklers. The
proposed use represents a change in existing use as defined by the
Massachusetts State Building Code Section 105.0 and shall comply with the
provisions of Article 22 of the Code.
Adequate life safety design for a building is often related only to
compliance with the minimum requirements of local building regulations.
This may or may not provide sufficient occupant protection, depending upon
the particular building function and occupant :.activities.
Conscious incorporation of fire safety into buildings is too frequently
given minimal attention by the designer, and building designers are
content, as are their clients, to meet the minimum safety standards of the
building code. It is often incorrectly assumed that the codes provide
completely adequate measures rather than the minimum.
The approach to building design requires a familiarity with the reaction
of people in fire emergencies. These reactions can differ widely
depending upon the physical and mental capabilities and conditions of
building occupants.
Sufficient means of egress cannot provide adequate protection in
occupancies where occupants are confined or are physically or mentally
unable to escape without effecLive and immediate assistance. If the
economic cost of fire safety is judged to be prohibitive, the occupancy or
the structure should be changed or prohibited because there is no
justification for subjecting building occupants to an unreasonable level
of peril from a fire.
It is my professional opinion that the building design as presented fails
to provide the necessary level of protection to the occupants and
represents a step backwards in providing safe, quality housing for the
elderly in Salem.

Salem, MA 01970
Dear Mr. Turner:
As a follow up to our meeting of March 2, we have taken the
following actions:
1. We have reviewed the estimate and drawings of our 90%
working drawing set. At that point in time, full sprinkler
coverage of 3 Broad Street was included in the plans and
specifications. The system included sprinklers in the
basement, and at each occupied floor (including sprinkler
heads in the interstitial spaces between existing ceilings
and new hung ceilings.) In addition, a dry sprinkler
system was designed for the attic spaces. A copy of the
estimate is attached.
2. We have requested our mechanical engineer to survey the
existing sprinkler system to determine its suitability for
reuse/alteration. This survey will be conducted on
Tuesday, March 15. Based upon that survey, we will
estimate the cost of system alteration and review
alternatives for partial sprinkler coverage.
3. We have notified the apparent low-bidder for the project,
Rene C. Lamarre Co., Inc., that no award of contract will
occur until this matter is resolved.
In addition, we have reviewed your letter to Mr. Munroe and would
like to make the following comments:
1. Reference Item 6 - Site Access: Please note the attached
drawing. In the early stages of feasibility study for this
project, we had proposed schemes which would have increased
the site access over what is now available. The conditions
E F L E S T R E E T C F N E R i D E ., S _ b
doc42Cp iE _ Ex 2 01
Letter to Mr. Robert Turner

} Page 2
of site access existed with the buildings on the site but
were made more difficult by City approval of the
parking/access scheme for 1 Broad Street as proposed by
that buildings' developer. As you can see from the
attached drawing, we proposed 12 parking spaces for 1 Broad
Street and objected to the 18 spaces approved by the City
during public hearings.
At this point•in time, the lawyer for the Salem Housing
Authority, Mr. William Lundregan, is prepared to go to the
appropriate City agency and request that we increase the
access easement within our property lines. However, in
real terms only a removal of a number of previously
approved parking spaces would enhance site access.
2. Reference Item 4: We have received from E.O.C.D. a copy of
the proposed change to the State Building Code and have
discussed the proposed change with Mr. Steve Demos, Chief
Architect for that agency. Please reference the proposed
Code Revision attached. As you can see from the cover
sheet, the proposal to add a definition of Congregate
Dwelling Unit was made by E.O.C.D. The wording contained
on the second page is not the original wording proposed by
E.O.C.D. but rather wording resulting from negotiations
between E.O.C.D. and the State Building Code Commission.
According to E.O.C.D. , the wording in the first paragraph
relating to no more than six not necessarily related
persons, is not for the building as a whole but for each
individual Dwelling Unit as the definition is titled. This
paragraph was inserted because of other restrictions
governing the number of unrelated people who can live
together. The final paragraph clarifies the Congregate
Dwelling Units (plural) "shall be considered as
Multi-Family Dwellings (R-2) not be considered boarding,
lodging, dormitory, hotel, motel or institutional use."
We shall contact Mr. David McCartney at the State Building
Code Commission to verify that this is the proper reading
of the definition.
In summary, it is this offices' intention to fully comply with all
provisions of the State Building Code and even exceed those
standards if another source of funding can be found to provide the
level of safety you feel is necessary. To that end, we will move
quickly to determine the condition of the existing sprinkler system
and produce documentation and an estimate for its potential
reuse/alteration.
Letter to Mr. Robert Turner
14 March 1988

As we discussed in our meeting on March 2, the General Bids have
been opened for this job. According to the public bidding laws,
notification of the general contractor must be made within 30 days.
Therefore, we respectfully request that you review the submitted set
of plans for all other non-sprinkler related items so that there are
no other issues that may arise following resolution of the sprinkler
issue.
If there are any questions relating to any information above or any
of the attachments, please do not hesitate to call.

hearing, and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact:
1 . No opposition to the petition was presented at the hearing;
2. Several neighbors and city .o_`ficials spoke in favor of the petition;
3. The petition has the approval of the Salem Planning Department and
the Salem Historical Commission.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented, the
Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1 . Special conditions exist which especially affect the subject property
but not the district generally;
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Ordinance would involve
subtstantial hardship to the petitioner;
3. The relief requested can be granted without substantial detriment to the
public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the
intent of the district or the purpose of the Ordinance.

Dear Bill:
Thank you for taking the time on Tuesday morning to review the
Oliver School at 3 Broad Street. Based on our discussion I have
compiled the following list of issues and actions:
- Confirmed the status of the Oliver School conversion as
"Group Residence", Section 424.0 State Building Code.
- Elevator - The size shown does not meet State Code 431.8
requiring accommodation for stretcher (72" x 2411) in
"horizontal open position". TAC to contact State Department
of Public Safety, Division of Elevators.
- Fire - Possible relocation of siamese connector and addition
of fire hose cabinets. TAC to contact Captain Robert
Turner, City of Salem Fire Marshall for preliminary review
of project in preparation for comprehensive permit approval.
- Egress - Enclose second floor landing of central stair. TAC
to investigate additional escape route on second floor by
relocating door of two bedroom unit and providing emergency
door egress to porch roof.
- Partitions - All walls $ ceilings at individual units will
be one (1) hour construction. Dividing walls will continue
full height to the bottom of existing floor construction.
Ceilings of units to be 5/8" fire code "type x" drywall.
Thank you again for your attention to these issues. Please contact
our office if there are questions regarding the Oliver School.
