So a person walks out of an elevator

Single tenant floor

Two exit stairs on the floor

Fire sprinkler system

They run into a door to the tenant space.

No access to an exit stair

What code sectIon of IBC, do you use to require access to a stair, from the elevator area.

You can quote any edition of IBC.
 
We had this similar scenario 6-8 months ago, about a top floor condo that blocked access to stairs.
 
1006.2 Egress from spaces.
Rooms, areas or spaces, including mezzanines, within a story or basement shall be provided with the number of exits or access to exits in accordance with this section.
