[MassHistPres] Demolitions

[Sullivan, Charles M.]

The short answer is that demolition is not defined in state law or in the Massachusetts Building Code. The operational definition is the responsibility of the local Building Commissioner/Inspector.

Subject: [MassHistPres] Demolitions

Hello all, I remember a presentation a while back that stated changing a roofline constitutes a demolition.  I have been unable to find the Massachusetts General Law that supports this.  Does anyone know the specific MGL number that states this?

Thank you
