The sellers have retained a fire-escape specialist removal company to remove the rear fire escape. They have a definitive proposal, but the company is booked into the summer, so sellers can provide proposal and arrange for work to be done (and pay for it). The Property is zoned for duplex use and could be a legal duplex (or renting 3rd floor); however, it only has one entrance.
