Fully sprinkled 5-story wood frame hotel with occupant load of 82 persons per floor split between (2) interior stairs.
Section 1009.3 Accessible egress stair minimum 48” between rails. Exception #2: Clear width of 48” not required in building sprinkled throughout.
Section 1011.2 Minimum width shall be not less than 44”. Exception #1: Stairways serving an occupant load less than 50 shall have a minimum width not less than 36”.
Would you allow the minimum 36” Stair width based on occupant load of 41 persons per stairway?
Designed at 48” finished width but have some projections from standpipe and fire sprinkler piping.
Thanks
