Prevailing building codes that require two separate stairwells in multifamily buildings taller than three stories are stymieing development of affordable housing, according to some design and construction professionals. The two-stairwell rule forces developers to allot more square footage to stairs, which removes space for living areas. That wasted space can be enough to make a project financially non-viable. The impetus for two stairways in five-to-six-story buildings—fire safety—can be addressed with fire-stopping materials, sprinkler systems, and limits on the number of units, according to advocates of single-stairwell regulations. This would emulate codes in many European and Asian countries that have allowed single-stair development for decades. #development #buildings #infill #hosuing
