The Basic Rule of Building Code Enforcement

Building Code Enforcement shall be objective, fair and no biases. To achieve this goal, every deficiency identified by the AHJ or every document requested by the AHJ shall be strongly supported by a Code Article. It is not proper Building Code Enforcement, if the AHJ can't provide a Code Article to prove there is a deficiency, but states there is a deficiency.

Insight of Building Permit Plans Review

 Insight of Building Permit Plans Review

Was your building permit application denied by the AHJ?

Did you know which Code Article was violated?

Here is the insight:

The principal of building permit plans review is strictly follow the code. If there is a deficiency identified by the AHJ, the AHJ is responsible for showing you which Code Article is violated.

Interpretation of the Code shall be officially through Advisory, Variance, Regulations Bulletin or Standata issued by the AHJ.

Personal interpretation of the Code is not the proper way of Code enforcement.
