Depends on the building inspector. We had a great one who knew why the codes were in place and worked with you to help you solve problems.
The new inspector was standing in a room I'd built that had two exits (on opposite sides of the room) that both led to the street. She was going on and on about how the window openings were 1/2" shy of code for egress, failing to note that with the extra exit the room could have been windowless and still would have passed egress inspection. Fenestration, not so much.
The fact the house was built entirely of leaves held together with my spit didn't go over so well, but that's another issue.
