Railroad style apartment?? Codes says no

[Michael S.]

Hi guys.  So I had a fire inspection in my building and I have an apartment with 4 rooms in a line. Like "railroad cars" apartment has been like that for 50 years and previous owner had it for 10 years and fire inspector said I need to build a hallway because you can't go through a bedroom to get to another bedroom..... I havent had an Hansen of look at codes wondering if anyone has any experience with this. I'm in ny. Thanks
