Interpretation #8849

Original Request

  • Requested By: Timothy Alexander Drumm
  • Requester E-Mail: tim@drummengineering.com
  • Code Version: 2021
  • Code: RESIDENT
  • Code Description:
  • Chapter:
  • Section: R101.2.1
  • Topic: Enforcing of the Entire FBC Building to the FBC Residential

  • Question: The current Building Official of Nort Port, FL is interrupting FBCR101.2.1 to give the justification for enforcing Chapter 18 geotechnical requirements for the Residential Code. I am looking for a ruling to clarify that R101.2.1 was not intended to be used on anything other than what it clearly states: Chapter 1 of the FBC to be used and not Chapter 18 or any other chapter from the FBC Building for the FBC Residential.
