Carpentry & Built-Ins for Lynnfield homes.
The significant-structures list runs from the 1714 Meeting House and 1770s Summer Street houses to rows of 1950s and '60s homes on Bishops Lane and Archer Lane. When we repair trim on one of those, we match the old profile rather than swap in stock molding.
Lynnfield's Chapter 154 counts a portion of a listed building as a significant structure, too. Taking off a porch or a wing is worth a call to the Historical Commission first. A window seat or new built-ins inside never come near it.
Lynnfield rules that matter for carpentry & built-ins.
Demolition delay for listed buildings
Under Chapter 154, a demolition permit for a building on the Historical Commission's significant-structures list goes to the Commission first, and a building it rules preferably preserved can wait up to 12 months. A permit only for interior demolition is excluded from the bylaw's definition. [1][2]
One statewide building code. Massachusetts uses a single building code for every town: 780 CMR, now in its tenth edition. Your local building department enforces it and issues the permits. source
Dig Safe before digging. State law requires notice to Dig Safe at least 72 hours before digging, not counting weekends and legal holidays. That includes holes for deck footings. Call 811. source

Carpentry & Built-Ins questions from Lynnfield
Not that we've found. Chapter 154 is about demolition permits, not interior carpentry. Removing part of the building, like a porch, is the case to ask about.
