Is a permit needed?
We have an extension on the garden level. The roof of the extension can and does support pavers and furniture. Is a permit needed to build iron railings around the open three sides and a staircase down to the garden? We will not be building a deck or changing anything structural…..simply creating garden access from the parlor level.
Thanks.

To do this work legally requires a permit -- there are regulations controlling the height and other characteristics of the rail, extensive code about the construction of the staircase, so the city wants a filing representative (arch. or engineer) on the hook to certify that the work is done right.
