[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a split level and we are converting a room located one level before the basement into a bedroom. When I measure the distance from the window sill to the floor in that bedroom it was 47 in. So it won't meet code. What do people do in this situation? My friend told me some inspectors may turn a blind eye since it's only 3 inch higher than the max height. [/quote] What kind of work is being inspected? Electrical? Structural? If you are "officially" converting the room to a bedroom and want it to be reflected in the county records as a bedroom (for resale purposes), you'll have to meet the 44" requirement. If you are simply moving a bed in there and having a closet put in, I can't imagine anyone inspecting any other facet of the conversion will care about the egress. The times that I've had inspectors over, they are looking at a specific thing. [/quote]
