Not where I really want to be
Oh, let me count the violations:

And no, the bottoms of those vertical support posts are not anchored.

Re: Defective basement steps

Take the stairway out and install a pulldown ladder. Pulldown ladders don't have to meet code; remember?

Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho. :)

Re: Defective basement steps

U B - Wouldn't that be a 'pull-UP' ladder?

Jeff - Slide some felt paper under the wood at the concrete floor, add solid risers, a guard on the open side and toss in a 'hold harmless' agreement and they're good to go! :o
 
Re: Defective basement steps

Step 1 - buy a heavier compressor.

Step 2 - bungee the vertical support to the compressor.

Step 3 - duct tape guard to compressor - you're good to go.

Just knock over that propane cylinder, and the problem will take care of itself.

I like the brace in the middle of the stairway runs.
