Re: 225 Main Street,Hyannis,MA
Dear Mr. Burke:
After talking to you and evaluating all possible options available to you to bring your building into
compliance with thb Massachusetts State building Code,I have come up with the following:
Facts:
1. In 1984 this use was an R-1 (motel)changed into an R-2(apartments)with a building permit.
2. As it now stands,all units on the second floor have only one means of egress,TABLE 809.2 of
780 CMR requires two.
3. In violation of section 809.4,third floor lofts,which are bedrooms for the second floor units,
were constructed without windows.
Suggested Remedies:
Article 32 of the Massachusetts State Building Code allows compliance alternatives when strict adherence
to the code is not practical due to various circumstances. Your use remained a hazard index of one after
the use change in 1984 and as such is eligible to use compliance alternatives. I will suggest a course of
action as follows: Either
1. build connections from all third floor lofts to the dormer windows in front of them. This
connection can be a 42"wide walkway with rails. Or
supply an opening skylight,that has a clear opening that meets the requirements of Section
809.4,in each bedroom.
2. Connect the manual pull fire alarm system directly to the Fire Department.
3. Provide another means of egress from the exterior balcony at the parking lot end of the building.

Complying with the above suggested courses of action will be a solution that will bring your building into
compliance. You must take out a building permit to do this work,and at that time,we will be more than
happy to help you.
Thank you for your cooperation. Your immediate action on this is imperative.
Sincerely, .
