owner of a dwelling house having not more than three apartments and who resides therein,or the occupant of the
dwelling house of another who employs persons to do maintenance,construction or repair work on such dwelling house
or on the grounds or building appurtenant thgreto shall not because of such employment be deemed to be an employer."
MGL chapter 152,§25C(6)also states that"every state or local licensing,agency shall withhold the issuance or

Pat,
A few things:
The permit fee is $4271.20
We need the preliminary HERS rating paperwork.The plans don't show enough insulation to get a low enough HERS
rating and they'll need to be revised before we can issue the permit.
I looked up the planning board approval for this project. There are some conditions before we can issue a building permit.
I attached a copy along with the DPW comments.We'll need to hear from the DPW once those items are complete.
We'll also need the revised site plan once it's been approved by the DPW.

76 Gothic St fire separation distance

Tris,
had a quick look at the plans for 76 Gothic St. I'll need more time, but I did see a few things.
An NFPA 13D sprinkler system is allowed in the building but reductions in fire separation ratings are based on 13 and
13R systems.The common means of egress (front stair) needs a 2 hour rating (connects 4 stories including the
basement)and the unit separations need to be 1 hour. Plan sheet A-500 doesn't show a rated horizontal assembly or a 2
hour rated shaft enclosure. It's likely that the fire separations will need extend to the exterior sheathing.
It appears that at least one of the buildings at 76 Gothic St will need to have a rated exterior wall based on the fire
separation distance between them. It does seem possible that only the new building will need a rated wall based on
allowances in IEBC 1012.6.
Per Mass 9th code, 2015 IBC:
FIRE SEPARATION DISTANCE.The distance measured from the building face to one of the following:
1. The closest interior lot line.
2.To the centerline of a street, an alley or public way.
3. To an imaginary line between two buildings on the lot.
The distance shall be measured at right angles from the face of the wall.
Table 602, exterior wall fire resistance ratings, fire separation distance greater than or equal to 5' and less than 10', type
VB, 1 hour rating. Distance between buildings per plot plan is 11'
Per Mass 9th, 2015 IEBC:
1012.6.2 Exterior wall rating for change of occupancy classification to an equal or lesser hazard category.
When a change of occupancy classification is made to an equal or lesser hazard category as shown in Table 10 12.6,
existing exterior walls, including openings, shall be accepted.
The existing building isn't undergoing a change of occupancy but the code would make an allowance if it were; applying
this section to the existing building on the site results in an equivalent level of safety.
