Lower level apartment unit and exits required.

Tim Phillips

I have a building that use to have a lower unit for rent by the previous owner, which has just been storage for a while. I would like to fix it back up and rent it out again. It is a small unit with 1 bedroom/bath located in Akron, OH

My question is who do I check with in regards to any fire/exit laws to make sure it’s not in violation/could cause any problems.. The setup is a lower level with exit into a hallway/steps up and out the main buildings front door. Entrance to unit opens into 1 living area, bedroom to the left and small kitchen to the right and a bath attached to the right of that. The living area and bedroom have 2 fairly large windows in each that latch/swing open. They are higher than a normal window due to being lower. Since it is such a small unit I don’t even know where another exit would be required.

Thanks
