I have some project plans where there will be some Level 1
[ from the 2015 IEBC ] work being performed on some rental
cabins near a lake........FWIW, these cabins are located on a
federal military installation.
One of the existing cabins is designated as ADA equipped.
At this one cabin, it is being proposed to remove the existing,
wooden guard-railing, vertical pickets and horizontal top railing
and replace with horizontal metal strands [ complying with the
applicable structural loads ].
QUESTION # 1: How should the rental cabins be identified
[ i.e. - R-1, R-2, R-3, etc. ] ?
QUESTION # 2: Because part of the hand-railing is being replaced,
does this now qualify as new construction and subject to the
requirements of the applicable `15 IBC, ...the `17 A117.1 &
the `10 ADASAD [ i.e. - the requirement for hand-railing ] ?
Thanks for your input !
