I have a bit of an odd question and perhaps there are some on here that can assist me in determining the answer.

We have a interior tenant improvement project coming up in San Francisco and the way the lease is written the Landlord is responsible for accessibility and MEP T-24 compliance as of the delivery date of the property. There is a 120 day gap between the delivery date and the rent commencement.
What our client would like to ensure is that there will not be any code changes during this 120 day period that they would then be responsible for paying for any code required updates to the MEP T-24 or accessibility.

So the real question is between 1/1/2020 thru 4/29/2020 will there be any adopted code changes that would trigger additional work/costs.
 
The 2019 California Building Code goes into effect on 1/1/20, so there should be no changes to the state code for at least another three years. San Francisco may adopt amendments, but you'll have to go to the city to get those if not online.

Thanks Ron, trying to get an answer from SF currently.
 
Ok, next question.........Does anyone have a good link to a cross reference to the changes between the 2016 and 2019 California Codes?
MEP and Accessibility primarily.
 
No sure about Cali. but here we can only require what is needed for the code year the initial permit was issued under.
