These renovations are shown on plans Al -A3 and include five tasks: 1. renovation of upper level lavatory (30 sf) 2. renovation of upper level bathroom (40 sf) 3. expansion of bedroom closet (36 sf) 4. installation of new bookshelves (15 sf) 5. reconfiguration of balcony and installation of new guard railings (60 sf) Each of these tasks is discreet with the lavatory renovations simple renewal with new compliant fixtures; expansion of closet is non - structural and installation of bookshelves simple non - structural work. The reconfiguration of the balcony ( #5) is in response to questionable support at the cable -hung corner. The open area overlooking the room below will be expanded by removing the questionable floor structure back to the continuous joists for positive structural integrity. When open, the Architect will view the existing condition to verify continuous joist support and bring any additional measures needed to the attention of the Contractor and Building Official. The balcony edge will be protected with 36" high guardrails using the design provided. This is a minor project with less than 16% of the apartment constituting work area (181 sf work area; 1188 sf apt.) and the only structural work ( #5) will result in improved structural integrity and decreased seismic weight. I have reviewed the plans and visited the site and the plans accurately represent the work and existing conditions. IBC 2009 104.10 allows for omission of full code compliance where the building official finds the modification in compliance with the intent and purpose of the code; in this case each simple modification clearly increases the safety, health and welfare of the users. We ask that the Building Official waive the requirement for construction control in this situation as the work is of a minor nature limited to a small percentage of the discreet area (which is a small percentage of the building) and will improve health, safety, welfare, accessibility and structural integrity. Construction Control would be out of proportion with the standard construction costs and the scale of this project. YEA A I TIN TON. MASS.
