No, you read it right
It's a single 'family', but it just has a basement, 1st floor and 2nd floor (for bedroom).
In talking with other landlords I know they always told me you needed a 2nd stair case exit, but they have multi family units. I'll get the code book when they open tomorrow.
My own home has a converted 2nd floor attic into bedrooms with only 1 exit but it's considered a single family.
Got it. You absolutely wouldn't need a second floor egress under California code. Fire escape would be necessary, but that's just a window.
