Codes enforced:
2012 IBC
2012 NFPA 101
2010 ADA
2012 IEBC = "existing" building code
Given:
Existing building valued at two dollars is about to undergo a renovation. The estimated cost of the renovation is a little more than one dollar.
It is common understanding that when the cost of the renovation exceeds 50% of the assessed value of a building, then a list of existing non-code-conforming conditions needs to be compiled. Then there needs to be a plan to address those existing deficiencies. Some folks would say that when 50% of the floor area is modified, then we need to bring the entire building up to code. Other folks would say that when the renovation cost exceeds 50% of the current value of the building, then we need to bring the entire building up to code.
Question:
What code section(s) in the IBC and/or NFPA 101 do these ideas come from?
