RE: 250 Canal Street
Dear Mr. Fallon:
Regarding my statement that the regulations of the Massachusetts Architectural Access
Board requires handicapped access to the above property, I have copied the section of the
applicable MAAB regulation below.
3.4 CHANGE IN USE
When the use of a building changes from a private use to one that is open to
and used by the public, an accessible entrance must be provided, even if no
work is being performed. When a portion of a building changes use from a
private use to one that is open to and used by the public, then an accessible
route must be provided from an accessible entrance even if no work is being
performed.
My interpretation is based on the fact that the building was last used as office space
accessory to the Gardner Mattress business and was not a "public" use.
The fact that previous occupancies may have included retail or other public uses does not
alter my opinion. You are welcome to appeal this interpretation with the MAAB. The
information regarding variances is available at web address below.
