It is NYS Building Code that all habitable basement space and all additional sleeping rooms must have a 2nd means of egress, besides the stairs leading up to the main floor. This means, that if your basement is finished, or used for anything besides storage, in order to comply with NYS code, you must have at least one 2nd form of escape.
