| The City would rather you got off that ladder. . . | June 22nd, 2009 |

These ladders were commonly added to buildings constructed in the City during the 1930’s and earlier. They were never part of a building’s fire escape system; but they often were installed as a ‘convenience’ to building owners who wanted roof access without bringing a portable ladder to the site. These ladders are now prohibited on residential buildings and must be removed with a proper building permit. New City Ordinance on Wooden Ladders Leave a Reply |
