RE: Norwood Engineering Building
28 North Maple Street
Florence, MA 01062
At the request of the Owner, I have been asked to review the code requirements for
a change of tenants for the above referenced building. Based upon the
information provided to me and observations on site, I find the following:
Total building area 11 ,500 s.f.
Construction Type 3B - Unprotected Masonry
Current Unseparated Use Groups: B (Business & M (Mercantile).
Chapter 34 Review for proposed change of tenant in Unit 6 (Total area -322 s.f.)
Scope of Work: Increase door from single 3'-0" wide to 3'-6" wide door leaf.
The proposed use will be furniture reupholstering which is Use Group F-1.
Since the area of the proposed use is 3 percent of the aggregate floor area and less
than 10 percent of the total floor area, it is considered an accessory use to the
main occupancy of the building (302.1 .2-780 CMR). As such, it is my opinion that
the door can be changed to suit the tenant's needs and no further fire separation
is necessary.
Respectfully submitted,
G�
