I have a small house, 850 sq ft., and currently there are two doors about 15 feet from each other. It makes my kitchen very difficult to remodel. How many doors exit doors are required in a house that small?

Yes. But your house must have been grandfathered in to the regulations cause they are not supposed to be that close together. If you want to remodel anyway, have a contractor put a door in elsewhere and take that one out.

Yes, it is mandatory to hav more than one door in any house.Since it is a matter of safety during fire hazard . And also for better ventilation purpose.If ur house consists of only one room then u need not hav more than 1 door but for better ventilation u can hav as many windows as u can/wish/require.

YES.its really important when it comes to emergencies.you'll have the option to go through another door.No technical person in building will advise you to have only one door.i remember my school classrooms had one doors and my technical skills teacher asked the authorities to add one more door in each class to aid students from escaping in cases of emergencies

It may be different in each state you should be able to find out about building codes for your area. I would suggest keeping both doors for safty sake.

Yes. Fire regulations, not to mention just good-old common sense.
