Also note the door to the balcony which lacks a proper guardrail around the perimeter. The site stair handrails are also non-compliant.
Guess the city doesn't care about safety or the ticket revenue from this obvious crap.
There was no rail in 2009, either

even worse?
there could be naked ugly people in the pool when the roof goes. oh the humanity...
cool at first
I thought this was cool and then i imagined my friends up there and suddenly became terrified.
That's not a pool
That's the sprinkler system.
Not pool, not sprinkler system
That's an additional bath.

cesstank? BWSC rates have been getting pretty pricey...
Another possibility
It IS a pool, but an empty one stuck out there to 1) ice beer for a party and 2)cause horrific pantybunching in a certain busybody neighbor
They better take it down
Before the landlord jacks the rent
As long as no one tries to
As long as no one tries to cannonball off the tip of the roof, the porch should be fine with the weight.
If 11 poeple were already on the porch/ roof would you be number 12?
The weight of 3-4 people(in the pool) and 200-230 gallons (6x10 inflateable pool 3/4 filled) equals roughly same weight as 10-12 poeple.
Now the blatant disregard of any type of railing on that porch is pretty rediculous, even if the pool wasn't up there. I hope ISD does more than just drain & remove the pool.
I really am surprised this doesn't happen more often, filling up pools on flat rooftops across the city. Maybe they are more discrete than this aquatic terrace over the front entry.
should be fine? maybe not.
What size are the beams in the roof? How well is it attached to the wall? Was that roof designed to be a porch floor, as well? What's the condition of the wood? How many gallons in the pool? How many people could/would be out there at once? ISD is certainly not overstepping in ordering it down.
Wow, we found her (or him!)
The one Bostonian who cares about other people!

That's not a pool...
It's obviously a hockey rink, at least as long as the B's are still playing.
Update: ISD cracks down
