<human>: Hi all. A little background first; I recently started living in a new apartment house. It is broken into four different apartments, but still has a very house feel to it. I am living on the top floor and I need to walk up the stairs past the second floor apartment on a daily basis. 

A few weeks after moving in, I realized that the door to the second floor apartment blocks my egress when open. Essentially, when fully open it reaches the handrail and blocks movement up or down the staircase. I called the landlord and asked for the hinges to be moved on the door, so that it would no longer be an issue (so that it would open onto the wall rather than the handrail). The landlord told me that they had passed fire inspection and were not going to change anything for me. 

According to [this website] section 1005.2 states the the door shall not project more than 7 inches (178 mm) into the required width. There is an exception to this rule for group R-2 and group R-3, but I'm not sure how this applies.

I was wondering, if anyone knew more information about NYS building code, could advise me in the situation. I think it could be really dangerous and want the hinges moved.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Door to Apt below me blocks my egress. Landlord won't change hinges. Now, I want to find something that will force their hand.
