I really need some help with this issue, so please weigh in. The building in question is being renovated, and the egress routes have changed. Some doors that were exits before, are no longer required as exits. The building owner wants to leave the existing doors and hardware, but permanently fix them in the closed position. They won't open any more, but they will still look just like the door openings that were previously used for egress.
I know this should not be done - it's a hazard. But what do you point to in the codes to show that it is not allowed?
