Rise, Run, Tread, Nosing, and Width of a Stairway: The tread depth should be at least 10 inches (254 mm).

The greatest tread depth within any flight of stairs or stairway should not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch (9.5 mm). The riser height is at most 7 and 3/4 inches (196 mm). The riser is measured vertically between…
