I haven't kept up with building codes in a number of years, but believe it was 36" minimum landing at bottom or top of stairs. You need to check out the National Building Code to verify. You can Google this information online,

check for a copy at your local library or make a call to your local building department.

Located a 2009 edition of the IRC-International

Residential Code on Stairways. You still need to verify that this information is current and suggest you contact your local building department.
