Building code window above a bathtub

[Just Don]

I 'want' to have a window above the tub shower but building inspector says NO window. Does anyone 'know' of an building code approved window for above tub use??

Tempered glass maybe? Has anyone had a window above tub and been approved ?

My opinion is baths are too dark without some daylight. Inspector says turn on the light.

Any possible solutions to this dilema anyone can think of? Tub covers entire exterior wall here, no other space. Its a cheap rental, does one of those skylights or domes make sense? Leakproof??

I once hear that Glass block would work, but those are not cheap.
