The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Building Code, 780 CMR, is based on the BOCA 1993 Building Code. The BOCA Commentary for the 1993 BOCA Code, a copy is attached for your convenience, states as follows: "Where exterior exit stairways are used in moderate or severe climates, the stairways must be protected from accumulation of snow and ice to provide a safe path of exit travel at all times, including winter. Section 1011.5 provides for the protection of exterior exit access balconies. Typical methods for protecting these egress elements include roof overhangs or canopies, heated slabs, and when approved by the local code official, a reliable snow removal maintenance program. It is our experience that building code permitted open exterior stairs with roof coverings are not properly, and fully protected from the accumulation of wind driven snow and ice in Massachusetts. It is our opinion that a reliable snow removal and maintenance program is required to provide the occupants with clear paths of travel. A typical example is the northeast storms we frequently receive, and how the exterior stairs with roof coverings have a build up of snow and ice on the treads and risers rendering them unsafe for egress.
