How would you word this? The tread does not extend past the riser. Cove moulding is in front of the tread.

Potential trip-hazard.
I don’t watch my feet when I ascend a staircase. When I raise and place my foot, I expect the tread to be there!!
Descending is just as bad. I have big feet… size 13… (wink-wink)… and I use every inch of that tread!!

Do you ever have an original thought?!!
The joke is, I build concrete steps. When I started you moaned, another builder." You openly laughed at your first 300 hundred inspections.
Lol. Everyone knows you Jonas. Grow up.
Yupper. If the treads were set correctly it would fit nicely under the nose against the riser.

Nice pic, but remember that we are talking residential and not commercial.
Commercial is a whole 'nuther animal.
