Stairs out of code at new rental property

I recently purchased my first rental property. Its a 4 unit building with and old fire escape porch in the back. At some point the landings and stairs rusted out and had been replaced with wood. I decided since the stairs are in bad shape to redo them and when i was researching the code for new stairs I found out that with the landings where they currently are I can't meet code (ie 10" steps and 7 3/4" risers). I'm curious what to do in this situation. My options are to rebuild the stairs and replace them in the locations they currently are or build stairs to code and cut into the landings which would be considerably more work.

Thank you
