Oooo interesting and good to know, from looking at the building code a staircase that is at least 8ft off the ground should be allowed to encroach into the right-of-way, but of course permitting in Baltimore is never straightforward 🤷

There is another house on our street with a staircase over the alley, and it does look like they submitted permits for the deck construction at least, so in theory it's possible
