I am looking for some input regarding a discussion that I am having with an architect concerning a building under plan review.Given: A three story, 24 unit apartment building with each floor having a plan as shown in the attached jpg. Each stairway serves 4 units on each floor. The corridors containing the stairs are open to the exterior on each end, but are covered by the floors above and by the roof. Referencing the chapter 10 definitions for "Stairway, Exterior" and "Stairway, Interior" along with the chapter 2 definitions for "Yard", "Court", and "Public Way", are these interior stairways or exterior stairways?Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
