I am a resident of Southern New Jersey, and have recently been asked to demo an existing set of interior wood basement stairs (from basement to first floor. landing already present 48′ wide x 3’ft deep) and fabricate / install a new set of wood stringers (3 sets), treads and closed risers.

Do I need to obtain a permit, submit design specs, or contact the local Building office prior to starting the work?  Would I need to obtain a framing permit, demo permit…???

Any advice or insight is greatly appreciated!!!!!

Thank You!!!                     Chipper                       1/28/2004    James Parker
