I have a common stairway that serves a means of egress for a multiple family condo building. The stairway protrudes about 1.5" into the doorway. Is this allowed? It doesn't prevent operation of the egress door. Also is the egress door required to be self closing and fire rated? Thanks,
Chuck Vincent

Jerry,
Thanks for the response. I have attached the plan. It looks like they couldn't get their 11" tread without encroaching into the door. Doesn't seem that this was caught by anybody at permitting.
