Roof Deck Update
Friday, February 29, 2008

In late January 2008, the Greater Boston Real Estate Board sent out an update to members regarding a new law concerning the permitting of Roof Decks in Boston that was sponsored by Councilor Michael Ross (District 8-Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Fenway, Kenmore, Mission Hill, West End and Allston). Boston Inspectional Services has received a number of calls from our members seeking to obtain the new "Roof Deck Permits." Many of these Roof Decks already have been issued building permits for their construction.

The following letter was issued by ISD in an attempt to clarify this issue CLICK HERE.
