Hi,
I need to build stairs in somewhat confined space. I want to be certain of current code requirements in MA before I start. I've heard there were recent (2010?) changes on this. Can somebody please explain what is the min tread depth, max riser height, min stairs width? Also, is it allowed to have a step on the landing, i.e. landing is divided by the extra step that runs diagonally? I know it was common practice on old stairs, but not sure is modern codes allow it.
Thanks in advance!
