58-60 Washington Street staircases and deck

Description

Replacement of two exterior staircases, deck repair and balustrade — approved despite a unit owner's opposition; the internal condo dispute was ruled outside the commission's purview.

Impact summary

The six-unit condo gains a code-compliant emergency egress; the owner nearest the stair opposed the design and still faces a separate zoning variance.
