Continuation of Non-Compliant Stair

It appears that TimNY has a found a statute that provides reasonable relief to the home owner.

If I was the AHJ. I would file an appeal for the home owner indicating that the AHJ had no objection to relief based on TimNY's statute.
 
peach I'm looking at AJ601.3 "all new constructed elements shall comply with this code".

Granted, NYS has modified AJ, but I don't see how you would get around AJ601.3?
 
Thanks everyone for the discussions - very interesting as usual. I have abandoned the idea of trying to continue the stair up to the third floor as if it were a continuation of the original existing staircase. I came to the same conclusion as Uncle Bob that it would be dangerous to go from a compliant stair run to a non-compliant run.
