Oh yeah, I see it now here in OPs video. So it’s not just the lap siding upper portion that was built, the entire lower portion was is new also, that’s even more terrible. Why isn’t it all masonry, they must not have had enough money. I still think I would have left the original stairs and just focused on the interior.
Iirc the law there says additions must be distinctly different so it’s not seen as original. Old stairs might not meet the rise/run requirements now, or many other things. Stairs are serious business, they are used for emergency egress and emergency access.
Looks like a staircase to me and those requirements are very specific.
