Exit door to car park

In an apartment building, what are the specifications of the back exit from the building, typically at the bottom of a stairway and usually leading out to a car park?

Should this door be an 'emergency fire door', ie. open from inside by use of a bar and have a self closing mechanism?

Should it be wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair?

The door in my apartment building is a single PVC door which can be locked manually from the inside but once you exit it does not self close and must be locked with a key from outside or else it remains unlocked, which obviously has security implications. ..

Any advice?
 
Take it up with the Management Company.

In a well run complex, the MC are active and the owners are active in the MC and keen to secure their investment.

In a poorly run complex, the MC are not active because not enough of the owners care enough to take responsibility for the overall complex.
