CHAPTER 7. The code of the city of Charlottesville,
Virginia, 1945 : | ||
Sec. 35. Means of egress required.
The term "floor area" as used in this section shall mean the entire
floor space between exterior walls and fire walls.
In every building hereafter erected, except in private dwellings
less than four stories, each floor area above the first shall be provided
with at least two means of egress remote from each other,
and if over two stories high, one egress from each floor, which
shall be an enclosed stairway as provided by section 29 of this chapter,
or a doorway in a fire wall leading to another floor area separately
provided with adequate stairs or other independent means
of exit. Such doorway serving as an emergency exit in a fire wall
shall be protected by an automatic and self-closing fire door as
specified in section 28 of this chapter. No portion of any floor
area shall be more than one hundred feet from a place of egress.
Where two means of egress are required in this section, one may
be omitted if fireproof construction is used as specified in section
29 of this chapter. Elevators shall not be considered as a means of
egress as specified in this section.
Except in dwellings, no required stairway shall be less than
forty-four inches wide, and the total width of exit doorways leading
therefrom shall at least be equal to the total width of the stairways
which they serve.
The total width of stairway, interior and exterior, provided for
the occupancy of each floor and those above, shall be not less than
each additional fifty persons to be accommodated thereby. The
stair treads shall be not less than nine and one-half inches wide,
