Carpentry and Woodworking - Building Outdoor Stairs

I'm renovating a row home in Baltimore and I have to replace some stairs in the rear of the house that lead down to the basement. There is a cut out in the concrete that is 75" deep and I have 64" in length of clear room to work with until I run into the door.

I know the standard requirements are 8" max for your rise and 9" min for your run. It looks like I have to go with an 8.33" rise and an 8" run to make it fit. Is this something that the inspectors will let slide or am I going to have to chip away concrete to allow for extra room?

Since you are replacing what was already there, your inspector may allow it. BUT, you need to contact their office and have them pay a visit to see what you are doing and either give their blessings or a method of correction. Your run and rise should be about 17 united inches. 7" rise 10" run; 9" rise 8" run, or thereabouts.

What Chandler said, local code always overules what we say here. But if you have to give up something, do not give up tread width. A wider tread makes for better footing.
