Perhaps the most frightening part of the existing building is the rear stairs.
My architect and builder friends will notice the odd combination of landing and winders...not exactly compliant with any form of code I'm familiar with! At only 2'-6" wide, they aren't exactly generous either. This condition is clearly not acceptable for an updated residential building.
An updated means of egress is an essential part of the Project. This will involve the most intensive change of the existing building as we remove the existing stairs, cut a larger hole in the Second Floor and install new, code-compliant stairs to provide an improved way out.
In addition to providing a safe way out, this improvement also allows for a new lobby for the residential portion of the building.
