Where no elevator service is provided in a building, only the dwelling and sleeping units that are located on stories indicated in Sections 1107.7.1.1 and 1107.7.1.2 are required to be Type B units.

1107.7.1.1 One Story With Type B Units Required

For occupancies in other than Group R-2, at least one story containing dwelling units or sleeping units intended to be occupied as a residence shall be provided with an accessible entrance from the exterior of the building and all units intended to be occupied as a residence on that story shall be Type B units. Occupancies in Group R-2 shall comply with the following:
  1. Cellar, basement, or first story. For occupancies in Group R-2, in buildings where the lowest story containing dwelling or sleeping units is the cellar, basement, or first floor, at least one such story containing dwelling or sleeping units, regardless of intent to occupy as a residence, shall be provided with an accessible entrance and all units on that story, regardless of intent to occupy as a residence, shall be Type B units.
  2. Second story or higher. For occupancies in Group R-2, in structures where the lowest story containing dwelling or sleeping units is the second story or higher, at least one story containing dwelling or sleeping units intended to be occupied as a residence shall be provided with an accessible entrance from the exterior of the building and all units intended to be occupied as a residence on that story shall be Type B units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Type B units shall not be required in such structures that contain only multi-story dwelling or sleeping units and shall not be required in such structures that contain fewer than four dwelling or sleeping units.

1107.7.1.2 Other Stories With Type B Units Required

If other stories containing dwelling or sleeping units intended to be occupied as a residence are served by a building entrance that is in proximity to arrival points as indicated in Items 1 and 2, such building entrance shall be accessible and all dwelling units and sleeping units intended to be occupied as a residence served by that entrance on that story shall be Type B units.
  1. Where the slopes of the undisturbed site measured between the planned entrance and all vehicular or pedestrian arrival points within 50 feet (15 240 mm) of the planned entrance are 10 percent or less, and
  2. Where the slopes of the planned finished grade measured between the entrance and all vehicular or pedestrian arrival points within 50 feet (15 240 mm) of the planned entrance are 10 percent or less.
  Where no such arrival points are within 50 feet (15 240 mm) of the entrance, the closest arrival point shall be used unless that arrival point serves the story required by Section 1107.7.1.1.
