Laundry room floor at two different elevations

[Marc]

I've got this slab supported, one story house with a storage room converted to laundry/bath. The guy didn't want to break any concrete to lay down drain lines, so he built up a portion, but not all, of the floor with wood framing and ran the pipes in there.

My concern is trip hazards. The discrepancy in floor heights is now up to one foot.  Where in the IRC do I find cites that comment on this?

Thanks in advance.

You can look at – Section M1305 Appliance Access - A 30 inch minimum level surface is needed in front of appliances for servicing. And also, the obvious common sense issues that concern you. That's a very interesting set up.
