Stairway was this code?

Stairway was this code?

New postby David on Thu May 07, 2009 12:53 pm

Hi Jerry,
In this Atlanta home built in 1986, the stairway has tread depths of 11 1/2" & risers of 7 3/4" and the nose on each tread is 3 1/2" - 3 3/4". Was this code at the time? What do I advise my client and the agent? They are concerned about resale.
Thanks,
David
