I am reviewing an apartment complex: R2 Occupancy classification
IBC 2012, Appendix E is adopted in my state
The design professional has the unit mailboxes as well as a common use outgoing USPS mailbox in a seperate structure that is open on two sides and under roof.
The structure is not occupied or habitable
IBC 2012, Appendix E105.4 states that where mailboxes are provided at an interior location at least 5% or not less than one of each type shall be accessible. There is no definition for “interior” in the IBC. Would a small shleter with two walls and a roof be interior?
Also stated in E105.4, in residential facilities where mailboxes are provided for each dwelling unit or sleeping unit, accessible mailboxes shall be provided for each unit required to be accessible. Does this statement exempt and R2 apartment building with Type A and Type B units and no Accessible units?
Thanks
