Question

Is it the intent of Section 3002.4 to exempt a 3

story, 4 unit Apartment Building from the

requirement of an elevator?

No.

Commentary

The building would be exempt from the requirements of the section cited, however, other portions of the code may require. Note the section stated in this question is directly related to the requirement for an ambulatory stretcher and this response does not apply to any other requirement for vertical accessibility. An ambulatory stretcher elevator is not required for the case cited.
