steps down to garage finish floor

[DougM]

I'm pretty sure the original IRC never had a provision for gas curbs. Local jursidictions have added that provision as part of their local amendments to the IRC.

Years have gone by and I've built my share of garages, in NJ. In every instance a gas curb or 4" min. step was required if it was an attached garage. I unfortuatley don't have any of my old copies of BOCA code books (which were then in force) to acually look it up. And even then I'm not sure if it would be in it. I can remember on plans done by others if it didn't have one, it did when I picked up my permits...from the Build. Dept. in red ink, "Gas Curb Required" Personally I still think it's not a bad idea. If a ramp is required due to handicap, so be it, fuels and/or such aren't going make it up the ramp.
