In the 2003 or 2006 IRC, was it required to have one 3" vent? I know there was a requirement just can't figure if it was code or local ordinance during that time.

no 3103.2 has been there. I should have been more specific, it was for a stack vent and it was an ordinance since thrown out.

There are several plumbing codes and I believe most of them require one 3" 'vent through the roof.

I can't find the section, and maybe it was UPC, but the vent cross-section must be equal to or greater than the building sewer.
