How many people are using the upstairs area? I found an exception in the ADA rules for public owned buildings that may be still in place.
2. In a public building or facility (owned or leased by state and local government)
* That is only two stories
* has one story with an occupant load of five or fewer persons
* does not contain public use space
An accessible route will not be required to the upper or lower floors.

Are the brass poles gone from fire stations?
I should have asked, how many BEDS are in the upstairs? That would be the number to use to claim an exemption if it’s 5 or less.
