Re: Detached garage with no man door.
In hilly building sites around the SF peninsula folks park their cars on top of wood framed and planked carports and garages. I used to write them up as a fire hazard due to having combustible (wood) floors. (IRC R309.3 - CBC same), which of course POd the RE agents no end. It seems the local AHJ overlooked this as it was a hot political potato, but I still persisted until the day I retired. What say others regarding this dilemma?
