Sure, why not?
Its generally called a 'winder' staircase. Pronounced with a long i
I don't think that applies, exactly. A quick search shows up...................Of course some local codes might be more strict.........If doing more than a 50% renovation, then everything must be brought up to current codes. The IBC says that the minimum tread depth on winder treads is 6”.
So the treads that taper down to nothing are not code compliant today. Just sayin’ for a friend.
Update! I measured the stairway today, 38" wide & it is 1/2" taller than my loft floor. The loft has a 1/2" plywood floor on 24" centers right now, so it is on the weak side. So..... add stairway, add a lift to the floor to make up the difference & done!
I mentioned it to Roger & he laughed then said, 'By all means, help yourself, it's yours!"
The stairway salvage will begin in the morning.
