They must have done that for the house they are building up the road from me because they suddenly nailed up railings on the stairs and the wrap around deck. It is 14 feet to the dirt below. Roofers still work un-feathered and that roof is more like 22-23' above ground level at the eaves.

Recently, there seems to be an issue with the single family home builders. Lack of railings at the staircase landings, lack of railings on the stairs, same for the 'balconies'. And 'temporary' stairs to the basements, and upper levels.

I told my inspectors to not enter, leave a red tag.

Wow, the phone calls. "Provide safe, compliant access, or no inspections."

Problem solved.
