How does this even happen?

Houses with shit like this are all over the Northeast and Midatlantic. My grandmother's house in Pittsburgh had stairs that went up to the second floor and just had doors on either side at the top in similar manner to this. At some point they cut down one stair and installed a landing so that the doors weren't hanging precariously like this. Considering how these row houses were nearly identical I would imagine most of the houses in the neighborhood had that set-up too.

Shit, there was a small house in the rear of the property next door that had it's electrical box in the shower. They weren't made to change it, or stop renting it out, until the lat 80s.

I’m guessing it’s an old house built before the appropriate building codes were put in place, or the outcome of an unlicensed/uninspected remodel.

I've seen this kind of door in a place where the space was originally unfinished attic (with only ladder access), and the door was cut through the wall and the space finished later.
