| Here is another one
that can be interpreted in different ways.
What if you have a house where one of the entrance doors swings in to
the home, what would the maximum rise be? One of the building code
books, says that 8 inches is the maximum, if the door swings into the
house.
 I would check with your local building department before doing anything
with this particular building code. Anything more than 4 inches can
create a trip hazard for people walking in and out of the home.
This building code does not apply to public buildings where the American
Disabilities Act could be enforced. Some of these building codes take
precedence over the uniform building code or the international building
code.
In the picture above, I provided you with a side view,
to give you a better idea of what I was talking about. However, you
could have a problem with building code interpretation, if you have a
door threshold. The 8 inch maximum rise for a situation like this could
be measured from the top of the entry porch (sidewalk, patio, deck) to
the top of the door threshold.
