Fire Escape Alternative

Our 4-story pre-war co-op has tiny little balconies, but no fire escapes, for the rear apartments. Incredibly, this isn't a code violation, but we want to make the apartments safer. Any thoughts on the detachable ladders that are out there on the market as fire escape alternatives? Thanks!

Gutter guards

Our co-op's gutter guard clogs often, which causes the gutter to overflow down the building potentially causing water damage. Anyone have experience with gutter guards like these?: http://www.islandgutters.com/leafprotection.html

Interior stair repair

Our 4-story brownstone co-op's interior stairs are getting wobbly underneath the carpet. Anyone you'd recommend to do the work?
