You're so right, I guess we're all carrying on his legacy.

That's probably doable with enough movers. It's common to have to rotate large items over stair railings to get around corners.
And with the doors off, you can often use the cavity to get around end of railings type obstacles.

Reply to comment by 0palescent in Interesting piece argues that MA needs free community college by Tall_Ocelot_8749
They need to reform the curriculum at the same time. Community College should be rediciculously targeted at the best bang for the buck trades skills and professions that are needed for the state economy.
Go learn basket weaving on your own time but if you want to be a teacher, you want to be a nurse or medical aid, or any of the skilled trades then absolutely we should be making the foundation of those tracks as cheap as possible. We need those skills and as a tax payer we should absolutely be funding it.

After hours permits are not handed out lightly. Also for an emergency utility need such as loss of electric power or gas leak things are different. They can skip the permit process.
The solution is in missing details.

Yes, too wide even with doors removed. Would need to be lifted above the railings

Via a deck or balcony might also be an option, depending on the apartment.
Measure the fridge size with its doors off, the doorways with the doors off and the stairway with hand rails removed (you don't need to remove any of these to measure).

It had to get in there somehow.
Have you removed the doors then taken measurements. All refrigerator door usually come off with a screwdriver or small wrench. Once off you can again measure width and it will easily pass through a standard apartment door and should get down stairs. Again... it got in there in the first place.
Most refrigerators come with the doors off when new and are assembled by the delivery crew as part of set up.
If this is being discarded, local law REQUIRES the doors removed as a safety issue to prevent small people from accidentally being trapped inside and suffocating. If the doors are not removed the doors need to be substantially secured shut and sealed, however that can still sometimes get a safety violation. Always take the doors off.

How much too big is it? Have you measured it with the door off to see if that makes the difference? How old is this thing and how did they get it up there in the first place?
If it's too wide for the stairs, cutting it up might be your only option unless there's some way to get it out a window, but that's going to be expensive too.

About 10 years ago, a woman around the corner from me killed her toddler & stabbed her unborn baby. Like stabbed herself in her pregnant belly. Her husband was just gone for 20 mins to pick up their Chinese takeout & came home to that.

It's more likely he'd be replaced before the teachers. Mayors don't last 30 years. (Well, except in Waltham.)

These are all very good points, I'm really glad people care about these issues and took time to read it. I'm going to try to shorten some parts, prioritize the most important info, but make sure it's still thorough. Let me know if the next one's better or what I can still improve!

I was going to say. I had also heard (not sure if true) that she HAD been inpatient but was eventually released into the 5 day a week outpatient program. We don’t know why she was released though. It honestly could have been lack of beds or even insurance not paying for it anymore. I know someone who was released from inpatient who really should not have been but insurance stopped paying after a period of time and his family just couldn’t afford to pay out of pocket to keep him there.

Yes, the doors will come off but need to get someone to be willing to take it. Home Depot refused because they didn’t want to deal with the 3 flights of skinny steps. No effort on their part
