Does the maximum exit access travel distance apply to unoccupied roofs?
If yes, does the distance begin from the furthest point on the roof from the roof access door / hatch or at the door / hatch itself?
Normally I would not bother with the question, but I am reviewing an existing 4 story building in Pennsylvania built around 1983 with an unenclosed stairs to the roof and someone wants to remove an exit door near the base of the stairs.
