I found an enclosed, gated, personal reserved parking spot in this parking garage.

But the push bar is on the outside of the enclosure leading in

There's two. The other right in front of the one with the handle on the outside has it on the inside. It's kinda crazy honestly LOL

Only thing I can think of is that this structure must block the pedestrian egress route and the AHJ requires it…but then there’s no security for the enclosure?… unless it can be locked during “off hours” or something like that.

This guy Fire Codes. The panic hardware is weird. Never seen it like that before. Curious as to the actual story behind how this whole thing got built.

AHJ caught my attention. I spent 2 hours dealing with fallout at work because I used ‘AHJ’ in an email. I’m Fire Training Division… and it was another Chief Officer who didn’t understand the term AHJ… on a casual courtesy email, not even important. I was both infuriated and amused by the stupidity of the whole thing.

Hard to tell if there is even a sprinkler in there as well. Looks like one just on the outside.

Sorry, I know this is totally off-topic, but since you're knowledgeable: does a motorcycle count as a motor vehicle for the purposes of parking garage fire codes? For example, if I wanted to park my motorcycle behind my car, but the building manager said that they only allow one vehicle per spot because of fire codes, does that make sense?
