Hello Everyone.
I am working on a renovation and have ended up with the following condition. The existing stair does not meet code (risers are 8+ inches) so I need to redesign the stair and ad a couple of risers to make it compliant in order to reach an upstairs addition. I am wondering if the condition below (i.e. having the last riser be directly beneath the door) is acceptable? I do not see anything that expressly forbids this, but it is unusual so I am curious if any of you have any thoughts on it? We are operating under IRC 2018 - this is a single family residence.
Thanks in advance for the help.
