what building code is used in new york city??
hi,
can anyone tell me what building code is used in new york city?? another forum indicated it was a modified version of the 2000 ibc. is there an actual state building code, like there is in massachusetts, or do they use parts of one code and reference you to a different code?
where can i get this code?
thanks
check out our whitepaper library.
new york city has its own local codes, separate from new york state.
it's a good idea to check on the web instead of just posting a question. many times you can answer your own question with a google search, and in more detail. it took about 2 minutes of search and reading to find below:
the second half of your question:
then click on "municipal publications"
then click on "rules & regulations"
the city is considering the adoption of a modified version of ibc.
there is a nys building code however, in ny city it only applies to ny state owned buildings.
the info was very helpfull,
thanks to all
