Mr. Stordeur,
Your building permit application and plans dated 11-6-14 have been approved.
Please follow up on the following items:
These items will need to be addressed before a permit is issued;
All components must meet typical requirements or R311.
Post fasteners must meet code requirements typically bolts, lags or ThruLoks.
Note: July 1 begins enforcement of the 2012 IECC with MA amendments and fire protection for non-dimensional lumber floor system frames, the new Stretch Code is pending.
As of August 4th 2011 the 8th Edition MA code is the 2009 IRC with MA amendments.
In the following are some generic requirements which seem to be problematic.
This is not intended to be comprehensive, nor is it a substitute for purchasing and reading the MA codes.
Read only international codes are available on line at http://publicecodes.cyberregs.com/icod/ one must also consider the MA amendments to these codes which can be found at www.mass.gov/dps/bbrs
.
The current relevant building codes are:
2009 IBC, 2009 IEBC, 2009 IMC, 2009 IRC, 2009 or 2012 IECC, AA115, MA amendments.
Relevant items must be submitted to the building department for approvals before inspections and or Certificates of Occupancy can be issued.
