Rooftop Egress Requirements | Homesteady
Building codes are governed by state and provincial authorities and based on the International Building Code. For older buildings, compliance with building codes can be problematic. Egress clearance and obstruction requirements, for example, may call for more space than older buildings have. Occupancy levels may be less or more controlled than building codes anticipated. Authorities usually allow for a process to apply for modifications that don't compromise safety standards. A detailed application process must be followed.
