All, I have a mercantile location going into a basement in NYC where the restrooms are existing, tied to a sewage ejection pump, the building has a rubber boot and structural slab under it, so I can't go sub-slab for any reason to relocate the restrooms.
However, based on the best layout of the space, the existing restrooms fall in the backroom/storage area of the space.

And based on section 403.3.1 above of the 2014 NYC building code this is not legal due to its access. However it is very costly for me to try to make these accessible without accessing through the backroom.
Anyone have any ideas how to satisfy the code and leave them as they are? Am I interpreting this wrong?
Thank you in advance for any suggestion.
