This Philadelphia 3 Bedroom looks charming in photos, but daily access would be difficult. What accessibility flaw does the plan reveal?

About This Layout

Philadelphia three-bedroom apartments in narrow rowhouse buildings sometimes have bathrooms with insufficient clearance for normal fixture use. Building codes specify minimum clearances, typically 15 inches from the toilet centerline to any side obstruction and 21 inches of clearance in front of each fixture. When a bathroom falls below these minimums, the door may swing into the toilet or the sink may be unreachable while the door is open.
