Hello, I'm looking for a regulation about private lifts in a residential tower; There is a lift that provides access for residences at level 2 to their private swimming pool at level 14.Is there any regulation for considering any emergency exits at floors between 2 and 14?

There is an exception in the code that if you provide a fire pole from levels 15 to level 3, but only from 15 to 3, then you don't need an elevator. So just put a closet with the pole all the way down and you are good to go!

Don't forget that the pole shaft must be a rated enclosure!

Thank you, I should have pointed that out and it is very important.
Also, vertical rated assembly has to be independent from horizontal assemblies in case the structure around the pole shaft collapses, the shaft itself remains in tact for the full height of the mentioned levels!

Good point, poop876. I remember the first pole shaft I designed was 20 stories tall. I was in awe of the 200' long studs that had to be erected to keep the vertical assembly intact. That was a proud day for a designer seeing the crane operator hoist them babies in place.

if i'm not mistaken one can use the poor door as an emergency exit from the private swimming pools in this particular residential occupancy cluster fuck.

If you use a meat pole its automatically a rated shaft.
