This has been in the NYS Code for some time but want opinion(s) if this is correct.
Current Code Reads:
1107.6.2.2.1 Type A units. In Group R-2 occupan-cies containing more than 20 dwelling units or sleeping units, at least 2 percent but not less than one of the units shall be a Type A unit. All Group R-2 units on a site shall be considered to determine the total number of units and the required number of Type A units. Type A units shall be dispersed among the var-ious classes of units. Bedrooms in monasteries and convents shall be counted as sleeping units for the purpose of determining the number of units. Where the sleeping units are grouped into suites, only one sleeping unit in each suite shall count towards the number of required Type A units.
The Supplement Reads:
3.15. 2015 IBC Section 1107.6.2.2.1 (Type A units). Section 1107.6.2.2.1 of the 2015 IBC shall be deemed to be amended in its entirety to read as follows: 1107.6.2.2.1 Type B units. Where there are four or more dwelling units or sleeping units.
2017 Supplement Publication Date: July 2017 Page 102 intended to be occupied as a residence in a single structure, every dwelling unit and sleeping unit intended to be occupied as a residence shall be a type B unit. Exception: The number of Type B units is permitted to be reduced in accordance with Section 1107.7.
The way I read this is NYS does not require "A" type units but all units are to be Type "B".
Am I reading this correctly?
