| | FBC[EXISTING] = FBC EXISTING BUILDING |
| | FBC[R] = FBC RESIDENTIAL |
| | |
| | 105.2 WORK EXEMPT FROM PERMIT. |
| | BUILDING PERMITS ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR REPLACEMENT OR |
| | REPAIR WORK HAVING VALUE OF LESS THAN $1,000.00, |
| | PROVIDING, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH WORK WILL NOT ADVERSELY |
| | AFFECT THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY, FIRE RATING, EXIT |
| | ACCESS OR EGRESS REQUIREMENTS. |
| | |
| | USUALLY REPAIRS (AS EXCEMPT FROM ABOVE) ARE DONE |
| | WITHOUT A PERMIT UNLESS THEY ARE STRUCTURAL UNIQUE. |
| | STAIRS ARE OF COURSE OF STRUCTURAL IMPORTANCE SO I CAN |
| | SEE WHY A PERMIT WOULD BE APPLIED FOR. |
| | HOWEVER, THE DRAWING PROVIDED LACKS DETAILS TO SHOW HOW |
| | IT WOULD MEET CODES OR BE STRUCTURALLY CONNECTED. |
| | |
| | IS THIS THE EXTERIOR STAIR AT REAR STRUCTURE? |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE SURVEY OR SITE PLAN TO SHOW LOCATION OF |
| | STAIRS IN PLAN VIEW. |
| | |
| | IF THE STAIR IS BEING REPLACED THEN PLEASE REVIEW THE |
| | CODE SECTIONS BELOW THAT SHOULD BE INCORPORATED INTO |
| | THE DESIGN. |
| | |
| | 311.7.8.3 FBC[R] GRIP-SIZE. REQUIRED HANDRAILS SHALL BE |

| | GRASPABILITY. |
| | 1. TYPE I. HANDRAILS WITH A CIRCULAR CROSS SECTION |
| | SHALL HAVE AN OUTSIDE DIAMETER OF NOT LESS THAN 11/ 4 |
| | INCHES (32 MM) AND NOT GREATER THAN 2 INCHES (51 MM). |
| | IF THE HANDRAIL IS NOT CIRCULAR, IT SHALL HAVE A |
| | PERIMETER DIMENSION OF NOT LESS THAN 4 INCHES (102 MM) |
| | AND NOT GREATER THAN 61/4 INCHES (160 MM) WITH A CROSS |
| | SECTION OF DIMENSION OF NOT MORE THAN 21/4 INCHES (57 |
| | MM). EDGES SHALL HAVE A RADIUS OF NOT LESS THAN 0.01 |
| | INCH (0.25 MM). |
| | 2. TYPE II. HANDRAILS WITH A PERIMETER GREATER THAN |
| | 61/4 INCHES (160 MM) SHALL HAVE A GRASPABLE FINGER |
| | RECESS AREA ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PROFILE. THE FINGER |
| | RECESS SHALL BEGIN WITHIN A DISTANCE OF 3/4 INCH (19 |
| | MM) MEASURED VERTICALLY FROM THE TALLEST PORTION OF THE |
| | PROFILE AND ACHIEVE A DEPTH OF NOT LESS THAN 5/16 INCH |
| | (8 MM) WITHIN 7/8 INCH (22 MM) BELOW THE WIDEST PORTION |
| | OF THE PROFILE. THIS REQUIRED DEPTH SHALL CONTINUE FOR |
| | NOT LESS THAN 3/8 INCH (10 MM) TO A LEVEL THAT IS NOT |
| | LESS THAN 13/4 INCHES (45 MM) BELOW THE TALLEST PORTION |
| | OF THE PROFILE. THE WIDTH OF THE HANDRAIL ABOVE THE |
| | RECESS SHALL BE NOT LESS THAN 11/4 INCHES (32 MM) AND |
| | NOT MORE THAN 23/4 INCHES (70 MM). EDGES SHALL HAVE A |
| | RADIUS OF NOT LESS THAN 0.01 INCH (0.25 MM). |
| | |
| | 312.1.1 FBC[R] WHERE REQUIRED. GUARDS SHALL BE LOCATED |
| | ALONG OPEN-SIDED WALKING SURFACES, INCLUDING STAIRS, |
| | RAMPS AND LANDINGS, THAT ARE LOCATED MORE THAN 30 |
| | INCHES (762 MM) MEASURED VERTICALLY TO THE FLOOR OR |
| | GRADE BELOW AT ANY POINT WITHIN 24 INCHES (610 MM) |
| | HORIZONTALLY TO THE EDGE OF THE OPEN SIDE. INSECT |
| | SCREENING SHALL NOT BE CONSIDERED AS A GUARD. |
| | |
| | 312.1.2 FBC[R] HEIGHT. REQUIRED GUARDS AT OPEN-SIDED |
| | WALKING SURFACES, INCLUDING STAIRS, PORCHES, BALCONIES |
| | OR LANDINGS, SHALL BE NOT LESS THAN 36 INCHES (914 MM) |
| | IN HEIGHT AS MEASURED VERTICALLY ABOVE THE ADJACENT |
| | WALKING SURFACE OR THE LINE CONNECTING THE LEADING |
| | EDGES OF THE TREADS. EXCEPTIONS: |
| | 1. GUARDS ON THE OPEN SIDES OF STAIRS SHALL HAVE A |
| | HEIGHT NOT LESS THAN 34 INCHES (864 MM) MEASURED |
| | VERTICALLY FROM A LINE CONNECTING THE LEADING EDGES OF |
| | THE TREADS. |
| | 2. WHERE THE TOP OF THE GUARD SERVES AS A HANDRAIL ON |
| | THE OPEN SIDES OF STAIRS, THE TOP OF THE GUARD SHALL BE |
| | NOT LESS THAN 34 |
| | INCHES (864 MM) AND NOT MORE THAN 38 INCHES (965 MM) AS |
| | MEASURED VERTICALLY FROM A LINE CONNECTING THE LEADING |
| | EDGES OF THE TREADS. |
| | |
| | 312.1.3 FBC[R] OPENING LIMITATIONS. REQUIRED GUARDS |
| | SHALL NOT HAVE OPENINGS FROM THE WALKING SURFACE TO THE |
| | REQUIRED GUARD HEIGHT THAT ALLOW PASSAGE OF A SPHERE 4 |
| | INCHES (102 MM) IN DIAMETER. EXCEPTIONS: |

| | FORMED BY THE RISER, TREAD AND BOTTOM RAIL OF A GUARD, |
| | SHALL NOT ALLOW PASSAGE OF A SPHERE 6 INCHES (153 MM) |
| | IN DIAMETER. |
| | 2. GUARDS ON THE OPEN SIDE OF STAIRS SHALL NOT HAVE |
| | OPENINGS THAT ALLOW PASSAGE OF A SPHERE 43/8 INCHES |
| | (111 MM) IN DIAMETER. |
| | |
