    Walking up 6 stories to get to your apartment every day?

    When our apartment elevator goes out, I have to walk up 3 stories every day, and it is the pits.

    Now imagine the piano movers are doing their thing in your single staircase building when a fire happens.

    There has to be alternative escape routes, like external fire escape stairways, not to mention how the disabled will have to be evacuated from upper floors.

    The fire marshal should be taking their time to get the rules right.
