The basement has poured cement foundation. 

Added a doorway at the base of the stairs to divide the home to allow STR in the basement.

It could literally be a matter of inches of your driveway on their property (if at all) and a $200 rental of a cement saw and a few hours will solve your problem. 

So from the front of a tenants car to the stairs would be a distance of roughly 8'. 

There are no fire violations there, we are sure.Do you think that the judge would agree with me that Grandma would be safer in a modern nursing home, than on a second floor (alone - the rest of the family sleeps on the third floor) of a multifamily unit, unable to get down the stairs on her own?

Complete remodel, added hardwood through out the main floor, fancied the stairs up a lot and made the master bath feel like a spa What was the outcome?
