Letter: MA State Building Codes — Shower Glass

Print Story | Email Story

To the editor:

This is a followup to my previous letter "Building Codes Put Homeowners in the Middle." Believe it or not, we are still working on this issue!

Ryan Contenta, Williamstown building inspector, continues to withhold a Certificate of Occupancy, taking a stand against shower glass. We need an amendment to our state law that allows for an affidavit or detailed stickers to be used in lieu of etching, which involves use of a toxic chemical. It's also difficult to clearly stamp all of these lines of code.
