NC apartment egress

[maox]

That might be the most negligent thing I've heard an official say.

Everyone else can call the room whatever they want. If it looks like a bedroom to me, then it is a bedroom and an egress opening must be installed.

The fire marshal told me he tells people that all the time. Basically they don't have a legitimate complaint because the landlord will simply say it is a closet instead of a bedroom. I found this to be a little lazy and concerning myself.
