On Hornby St. It doesn't have any construction barriers or anything.

Is it purely decorative and the long glass panel at the top of steps is a window and not a door?

I think you're right. If you look at the "stairs" up close, they do not look strong enough for holding weight.

Yeah like fiberglass mockup. probably to just make these look like Brownstone fronts

Such an odd design choice. It looks like there's already a patio, why not lower the patio and have actual functional stairs leading down to it? Looks pretty silly to just have floating fake stairs.

Or...you know...just give them like 40% more fucking patio space instead of ugly useless steps to nowhere.
