Are wood stairs and landings allowed in a R2 type VA building?
We originally spec'd steel and concrete stairs in the stairway shafts but the client is requesting a change to wood. I cannot find a clear answer in the NYS building code.
Building is 4 stories, approx 4,000 sq ft per floor with 2 stairway shafts and 1 elevator. I don't recall ever seeing wood stairs inside a cmu block stair shaft. Is wood OK code wise?
