While this may have been according to cede at the time the building was built and the stairs are not bein, 9 rem+�d� aft � this time I tho!jnh.t it would be advisable to inform you that there is a safety risk of falling through the railings to the floor/stairs below for little children who might be visiting the bu'llding. Some kind of woad, metal or plastic cold be installed easily and at minimal post to alleviate the situation. There is no requirement in the cede to make this change but. as � 9 �afety precaution something should be done to remove the situation. Thanks for your Seip and consideration.
