Hi All,
I have a test measure that seems to be open to code interpretation and I'd like to know the best way to handle it. A code reviewer in our city planning department was unclear when I asked the question and is now back-tracking.
Section 1007.1.1 Measurement point.
The separation distance required in Section 1007.1.1 shall be measured in accordance with the following:
1. The separation distance to exit or exit access doorways shall be measured to any point along the width of the doorway.
2. The separation distance to exit access stairways shall be measured to the closest riser.
I have a 3rd story building tenant improvement with doors leading into the shared corridor entry, enclosed stairways, fully sprinkled. We don't have the 1/3 distance between the 2 doors into the corridor, but we do have the distance if it is stair door to stair door.
I can't figure out how to attach the drawing.
