Subject: Egress windows in the basement
Owner: Rabbi Abba Rubin
Site Location: 130 Circular St., Saratoga Springs, NY 12866
Dear Building Department,
Nolan Engineering has completed a code analysis to convert the basement of the synagogue at 130
Circular St. to be used as sleeping space, as well as other potential uses, and it has been determined
that it will be cost prohibitive to meet the existing building code requirements for this change of
occupancy.
Our understanding is that the synagogue has been given grant money to be allotted towards upgrading
safety and security measures in the building. So, at the present time, the synagogue would like to
allocate the funds to do the work required to install egress windows. This will provide more safety at
the current time and take a step towards improving the basement for the future change of occupancy.
There is no request to change the occupancy at this time , only egress windows will be added. The
basement will not be habitable. The permit drawings reflect maintaining the current use as storage
with the installation of egress windows.
Sincerely,
Richard Nolan, PE
