Is it permissible for plumbing fixtures to block access to doors or windows?

  1. Yes, but only temporarily

  2. No, it is not permissible

  3. Yes, if they are marked

  4. Yes, in any emergency

The correct answer is: No, it is not permissible

Plumbing fixtures must always allow for safe and unimpeded access to doors and windows. Blocking access can create significant safety hazards, especially in emergencies where swift evacuation may be required. Building codes and regulations are designed to ensure accessibility to exits, which is crucial for the safety of occupants in a building. If plumbing fixtures obstruct pathways to doors or windows, it can prevent emergency responders from quickly accessing situations or hinder residents from escaping in case of fire or other emergencies. Proper placement of fixtures is essential to maintain clear egress routes and comply with legal safety standards. Therefore, it is clear that blocking access to doors or windows with plumbing fixtures is not permissible under any circumstances.
