Joe,

You're right, this was a result of a Basement remodel. I could barely squeeze in and out of there and always got a covering of spackle dust on my back. I see poor planning like this many times. Do you think that 'Accessible' or 'Readily Accessible' should include unobstructed access (for personnel) in the definition?

Scott,

Yes, this is a Private Residence. I doubt if the planner here thinks anything other than wishing they could make that room bigger. (I think it was actually the Maids' room)

Does anyone know of anything in the Building Codes that is being violated here? How about Plumbing Codes? The Water Main and Sprinkler Backflow-Prevention was also down here.
