  The scope of this work/proposal is to selectively demolish existing, non-structural partitions on the second floor in order to frame a new plan with living, kitchen, 3-bedrooms and 2-baths.  The existing historic side-hall will remain.  An existing non-compliant setback on the western side of the requires a continuous 1-hour fire assembly; this was accomplished as part of the exterior work permit.  The BBSA was asked to allow several windows on the Western side for interior light and to maintain historic fenestration patterns from the street.  The BBSA ruled that only fixed windows would be allowable and each of these must be provided with a water curtain.  In addition, a new interior (1-hour protected) stair will to be built to the ground floor to provide a second means of egress; this too was approved by the BBSA.
