Somebody please explain to me ...

The railing extension is an easy fix. The landing is not so simple. Egress is directly onto a vehicular way??
Perhaps they need a landing at bottom of metal stair and then turn 90 and stairs down into landscaped area.

nothing that says it cannot be in vehicular way...

I think that it is easy to tell that the bottom landing is way short of 36". I would not count any part of a street and besides that there is a curb.

There may not be a prohibition spelled out in the code about counting the street as part of a landing.....but then the code doesn't say that you can either......so no, I would not allow that.

Most streets and gutters that I have been around have greater than 2% slope, thereby exceeding the maximum slope for a landing.

Plus, how do you treat the curb/gutter - is it an additional step? Subject to tolerances on tread depth and riser height?

In the end, this has numerous issues and should have never been approved.

Lesson learned: "never", "ever" assume anything, especially code compliance because the inspector signed off

 

[texasinspector]

Correct, but it is assumed that the department did their job...

[A] 111.2 Certificate issued. After the building official
inspects the building or structure and does not find violations
of the provisions of this code or other laws that are enforced
by the department of building safety, the building official
shall issue a certificate of occupancy that contains the following:

Not finding is not "not looking"....

Nope. I always assume that the department is not doing its job.

"Trust" does not exist in your vocabulary?
