Baltimore was such a Wild West years ago- our alley was completely encroached on by all people on the block until it disappeared. The house behind us burned down and the city enforced the airway easement between our houses - 8 feet. When they rebuilt making their footprint 8 feet shorter. So I think they will say no to your permit.

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 🤷
