Default Would call this out???
Stairs without handrails and balusters. Stairs well 30 inches off the floor, would you say anything about these being a safety hazard?

Thanks! In advance for the input.

Call it out as missing guard rail and move on.

Yes, see that often, but common does not equal safe.
