Responses to Building Department Comments
Date: June 12, 2023
ARCHITECTURAL COMMENTS:
Al. Refer to sheet A101;the occupant load of this building is well over 50 people and requires
the 2 exit doors to swing out. There are only two exits, and the main exit doors swing inward
which is a very dangerous condition. As part of this remodel, the double doors between
"coats" and "vestibule" should be reversed as a life-safety measure. Those would never have
been legally allowed to swing inward against the flow of egress. Dangerous conditions shall be
abated. IEBC 401.3, IBC 1010.1.2.1
RESPONSE:Sheet A101 incorrectly showed the existing Vestibule doors swinging in. In fact, they
swing out as required by code. The existing and code-compliant outswinging doors are now
shown on updated SheetA101.
