Are all occupancies allowed to use the NCRC without restriction?
Yes! We see no reason to exclude certain occupancies in existing buildings from using this code compliance tool. This exclusion discourages investment, or encourages bootlegging of non-compliant work, and in the long run defeats the goal of elevating building public safety, if by a step-by-step process. Q: Does the Rehab Code allow the elimination of an existing exit, in order to gain usable space by applying the single exit provisions.
