RE: 5-year Egress Evaluation of Buildings
Located at 534 Winslow Gray Road,South Yarmouth,MA
Dear Ms. Ohlson:
INGHOUSE has performed the structural review of the existing, exterior egress stairs and
walkways at the properties of Yarmouth Housing Authority on Tuesday, April 30th, 2024, and
as required by the Massachusetts State Building Code, 780 CMR, 10th Edition, Section 1001.2.2
(MA amendments).
We have found the egress related structural systems to be in adequate condition.
We have noticed minor maintenance repair items, which we recommend to be repaired (Please refer to
the enclosed photo documentation.) Please note, that the section of deteriorated perimeter joist indicated
in our photo documentation are not `structural load bearing' members, as the 2nd floor system is a
cantilever frame supported by the building's 1st story walls.
We recommend that the town of Yarmouth issues the renewal certification for 5-year-
egress, in accordance with Massachusetts State Building Code, 780 CMR, 10th Edition, Section
1001.2.2 (MA amendments).
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.
Very truly yours, ��‘,zH of yis
