Step at Fire Riser Room

[Phil B]

Can you have a 6" step up into a Fire Sprinkler Riser Room?

Yes. Not an occupied space therefore not required to be accessible.

1103.2.9 Equipment spaces.
Spaces frequented only by service personnel for maintenance, repair or occasional monitoring of equipment are not required to comply with this chapter.

Thank you both for your replies

Unless it is more than just a Fire Sprinkler Riser Room then Exception #6 would be applicable.

Exceptions:

6. Doors serving equipment spaces not required to be accessible in accordance with Section 1103.2.9 and serving an occupant load of five or less shall be permitted to have a landing on one side to be not more than 7 inches (178 mm) above or below the landing on the egress side of the door.
