steps down to garage finish floor

[Ben Ledbetter]

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.

FYI & FWIW...

BOCA 1993 & 1996
Section 407.0 Private Garages
407.5 Door Sills: The sills of all door openings between private garages and the adjacent interior spaces shall be raised not less than 4 inches (102 mm) above the garage floor.
