The door frame isn't in disrepair. It's just slightly lower than "normal" due to being built before any sort of code standard was created. The stairs also start to rise immediately at the door frame. This causes an obvious clearance issues for anyone over 6'.

A little bump on the head isn't going to compete with the brain cells killed in my teens & twenties...but thanks for the concern I guess.
It's on the to-do list because its a load bearing wall, with a header over the frame. I can either:
a) Knock out the back of the house, put on an addition, and then move the stairwell back 4 feet.
b) Jack the ceilings around the stairwell, cut open every surrounding wall (plaster mind you), rebuild the header with some added headroom, repair surrounding walls (plaster mind you, so I'll end up doing the whole run).
I'll take the concussion every now and then. It's less of a headache.
