(a)     Entrance close to grade
        (one point)

        The #primary entrance# for the principal #use# for the #building# shall be located within two feet of the level of the adjoining sidewalk.
        However, for #mixed buildings# in #Commercial Districts# the #primary entrance# for the non-#residential use# on the ground floor shall be
        located within two feet of the level of the adjoining sidewalk, regardless of whether it is the principal #use#.

(b)     Recessed access
        (one point)

        Recesses in the #street wall# shall accommodate the #primary entrance# to the #building#, including stairs or ramps to such entrance. However,
        recesses shall not exceed 50 percent of the #aggregate width of street wall# for the #building#.

(c)     Wide stairs
        (one point)

        The #primary entrance# to a #building# along the #street wall# shall include stairs:

        (1)    with a minimum width of five feet where the #aggregate width of street walls# of the #building# is less than or equal to 25 feet; and

        (2)    with a minimum width of eight feet where the #aggregate width of street walls# of the #building# is greater than 25 feet.


        In both cases, the run of such stairs shall be oriented perpendicular, or within 15 degrees of being perpendicular, to such #primary entrance# for
        at least 50 percent of the height of such stairs.

(d)     Covered access
        (one point)

        The #primary entrance# to a #building# shall have a porch or access area covered by a roof or other permanent structure, provided that all
        structural elements shall have a minimum width or depth of at least three inches. Such roof or other permanent structure shall be located at a
        minimum height at least eight feet above the finished floor of the #primary entrance#. In addition, such covering shall have a depth of at least
       three feet measured perpendicular to the #street wall# and shall extend along at least 50 percent of the #aggregate width of the street wall#.
