Multiple Dwelling Law, the applicable article from MDL for New Law Tenements is Article 7
Windows for public halls:
Section 213 and 217 indicate that public halls require windows, I know that 1968 and 2014 Code do not require windows for public halls (Corridors) but do require artificial lighting along with a emergency power system.
Am I correct in assuming that if I were to design a new public hall in a NLT I would be required to provide windows for that hall? Can artificial lighting be provided in lieu of a window as-of-right, if so what would be the code justification for this?
I know that the 1968 NYC Building code does not require natural light for a corridor, would it be as-of-right to comply with the 1968 code instead of the 1938 code which requires me to look at MDL for egress purposes?
