    3/4" min to 1-1/4" max is code, with a 9/16" nosing. No nose is doable, but with a min step depth of 11", generally youre not seeing that outside of commercial spaces (and typically concrete).

    Not sure where you are (or if your stairs are even up to code), but that’s what they are referring to.

      Hmm. Does that “nose” count if the riser is slanted? Maybe I’m just not seeing what I’m expecting, but there is space because the riser isn’t perfectly vertical, now that I’m looking.

        It shouldn’t be slanted, I’m going to go with “not to code”, or your local building code didn’t adopt IRC for stairs.

        (At least for the slant I’m picturing in my head it would not be to code)
