I'm reaching back to the 1967 UBC here. An 3 story apartment building was built with storage rooms, a hot water heater room and a laundry room all opening into the exit stair enclosure (I don't know who approved that one). Over the years the doors from the corridors into the exit enclosures have been removed while the other doors have been replaced with hollow core interior grade residential doors with no closures.
My question is, could I consider the hot water heater room (the room contains 3 commercial size hot water heaters) as a boiler room? I know the door has to be rated iaw the stair enclosure, I'm just trying to strengthen my case. Thanks
