Hey guys, I inspected a new construction home today and the bathtub had a large tile base around it, making access in and out of the tub difficult. The base was up to the rim of the tub and was 17" wide from the floor outside of the tub to the rim of the tub. 17" is quite a step over a 22" tall "wall" from the bath floor to the tub. I've not been able to find details about this in residential code. What do you think?

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
