The IRC requires a minimum clearance of 27" between handrails when two handrails are installed. I conferred with Department of Sociul and Health Services Long-Term Care Licensor Aging and Long-Term Support Administration, and they agreed with the city's position. The minimum width a stair with two handrails can be is 32.5" below the handrail. Unfortunately the code does require that the minimum width of stairs shall be 36" in cleQr width at all points above the permitted handrail height (34"-38" above tread nosing) and below the required headroom height (6'-8"). Which means that the width of the stairs will need to be modified to meet all of the requirements of section R311.7 If you have further questions feel free to contact me at the numbers listed below.
