My local inspector said that the front step handrails need to extend past the front of the stairs by 12”. None of the other homes in our neighborhood have that, and it will look ridiculous. Not to mention that we would have to dig up our yard and put posts in concrete in the middle of grass, messing up our sprinklers. But, he is insisting. We are a single story, single family residence. Is that true? I thought CA code says that’s not true for private homes. Any help would be appreciated.
