RE: Open tread stairs and cable

This is in RE to my earlier post:

Regarding the 4″ rule…The 4″ rule does not apply to cables (as I have understood), but rather it applied to the gap between the risers on the stairs. Basically the gap between the stairs according to the new NY law can not be bigger then 4″. I honestly dont see how a child can get through a 4″ space.
