I inspected a house yesterday for an investor (pre-listing) and came across a 1st floor bedroom (closet included) with only (2) 3’ x 3’ windows.
I called it as an egress safety hazard (really its a blatent code violation) since the window opening is only 3.46 sq. ft. (32" wide x 15" tall clear opening)
I was building homes in 99’ and we were required to have 5.0 sf of open area on the 1st floor. He doesn’t agree with my reporting. (ha!)
Please chime in and let me know how you would have handled this one.
Thanks!
