CBC 11A condo accessibility tweaks

[Yikes]

I'm designing some condos (elevator building where all units are "covered multifamily dwellings") in California.
At the bathrooms, I comply with door strike 18" clearance requirements by having the door swing outward, into the bedrooms.
However, I'm pretty sure that the majority of future owners will not need the strike clearance and would prefer to swing the door inward, into the bathroom. The units will likely sell prior to completion, so we will know the owner's preference while the construction crew is still out there.

Is there a legal way for these owners the door swing that they want, even if it doesn't comply with 11A?
For example, can I just pop out the hinge pins and leave the door off, and let the owner reinstall the door "aftermarket" the way they want?

There is no exception that I know of for 1102A.
10 percent need to comply.
If the owners want to alter them it is their thing.
Put in reversible jambs.....

Check with Timely, their 3 piece jambs may allow you to do this.

Yes, I've done rental units with Timely jambs for just this reason.,. but these will be high-end condos, and I'll need to see if the developer wants Timely jambs for sales purposes.

I believe Timely makes an "OGee type" 3 piece.

I'm not familiar with the CBC requirements for accessibility but is it similar to IBC and FHA requirements? It sounds like the original post is describing an accessible unit not a Type A or Type B accessible unit. Under the "IBC" only accessible and Type A units are required to have door maneuvering clearances as required by ANSI A117 Section 404, Type B units do not. Since accessible units apply to R-1 Occupancies (transient) and Type A and B units apply to R-2 Occupancies, I ask the question if the original post is a Type A or Type B accessible unit or does the CBC not recognize different Types of units?

CBC does not deal with Type A and Type B units, but thanks for helping me think through this.
