Hello, I have a question that I can’t seem to find the answer to online. My next step will to be to call my town’s building department to see if I can get a definitive answer. I have 3 steps/risers from my front entrance. They currently have rails right now however these railings are from the 1960s and are rusting/rotting. So much so that if you touch them they shake quite badly. I could replace them but I am also wondering if i can remove them entirely? From the top of the steps to the ground is 19 inches. Does anyone know the answer to this? I do have pictures if anyone needs.
