Hi guys, nice to meet you! My first time posting here. My name is Ícaro, I am a Brazilian GC living in CT, and I have a few questions about basement/storage finishing...
At the moment I am facing a situation where the property has a stairway leading to the basement that isn't code compliant (all steps are good, but 1 it's just 6ft height). Since this is "grandfathered", can I pull the permit and get the basement finished without getting any problems? Honestly, I'm not sure anymore, since I already had a similar problem in the past weeks. But a couple months ago, the very same situation happened to me and the building inspector was ok with that (both cases the stairway was grandfathered, both cases was basement finishing with full bathroom etc etc, but the case where I wasn't able to use the stairway I had a bedroom which I added a egress window, but other than that, they were basically the same thing).
Thanks for your attention and kindness on helping each other! May God bless your life.
