NYC building codes

Hi Friends

 

Which NYC buildings codes should I be looking at for accuracy? I am looking at 2006 building codes nyc? There has to be updated books right?

 

Let me know what the situation is please. 

 

This is for simple curiosity. 

 

Thank you

That is awesome senjohnblutarksy!

I'm getting left behind in this age of googling. First, Non S tells me I can copy/paste an picture of an anomymous house in Google Images to see where this house is located. And now this!

What I love is that it's both snarky and helpful...  a win-win!

If its a new building- most recent NYC building code.

Renovations are more complicated- depends on when the building got built- common codes include the 1968 code and the 1938 code..each has its own advantages... But ince you choose ine, you have ti be cinsistent when you file with the DOB, you can't pick and choose which components of your project are compliant with which code.

NY landmarks is also an issue... Whether or not your building is a landmark or located in a landmarks district is of great importance....
