@Joe Splitrock also this is exterior door access to the common stairway not the unit itself.

My main concern here is with the existing second egress upstairs (porch leading to stairway), which is structurally unsound and must be taken down.

It states in part that:The owner shall maintain all means of egress at all times in a safe, operable condition and shall keep all exterior stairways, fire escapes, egress balconies and bridges free of snow and ice, provided, however, in those instances where a dwelling has an independent means of egress, not shared with other occupants, and a written letting agreement so states, the occupant is responsible for maintaining free of snow and ice, the means of egress under his or her exclusive use and control.

@Brie Schmidt I found the following under the Massachusetts general laws defining condos:''Common areas and facilities'' shall, except as otherwise provided or stipulated in the master deed, mean and include:—(1) The foundations, columns, girders, beams, supports, party walls, common walls, main walls, roofs, halls, corridors, lobbies, public stairs and stairways, fire escapes and entrances and exits of the building;(2) Installations of central services such as power, light, gas, hot and cold water, heating, refrigeration, air conditioning and incinerating;(3) The elevators, tanks, pumps, motors, fans, compressors, ducts, and in general all apparatus and installations existing for common use;

The hall and stairway are shared by all as well as the basement. 

One for a stairway, one for a bathroom, and the third (shed dormer) to increase ceiling height for the rest of the open living space upstairs.

I planned on renting the 2 floors (I live in first floor) for $900 each and putting a stairway connecting the basement to the first floor apartment to make it a 4 bed which would rent for about $1500 a month making my total rent income $2400 a month.

My fiancé noticed on the virtual tour that there was a huge attic with a stairway that wasn't listed anywhere in the literature.
