Safety and Storage at Lincoln

Means of Egress

The accepted practices regarding Means of Egress at Lincoln includes all balconies, stairwell landings and stairways associated with these apartments.

The outside areas in front of apartments are public spaces and thus, need to comply with the safety codes. Buildings where the balconies are small and limited such as Buildings #2, #7, #9 and #11 should maintain the space as is for free and clear access and have no impediments for fire and emergency personnel. Massachusetts' state regulations include having access in a continuous manner to all hand rails on balconies and stairwells without any impediments.

Routine Inspections

Residents are given guidelines for complying with Massachusetts' state regulations. Family Housing staff will report violations of the Massachusetts' state regulations to Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S), a campus agency that establishes, implements, and monitors University policies regarding all forms of safety and environmental health. EH&S will be called to help enforce sanitary conditions in apartments including compliance with Family Housing roach monitoring and spraying program. EH&S staff routinely inspect areas outside the apartments without prior notification. EH&S can be reached at 545-2682.
